1) I had an amazing doctor's appointment. This was a new PCP for me, as my old one retired right after I had surgery. I was pretty sad I didn't get to see her, but I like the new one a lot. My PCP's eyes bugged out when I told her how much I'd lost, and she said I was her most successful WLS patient. My resting heart rate is SIXTY!! She was totally impressed when I told her I could run for an hour, straight. No more sleep apnea, no need for a sleep study either. And best of all, she gave me the OK to try to get pregnant!

2) Totally not as important as #1, but I have been wearing skirts all week without inner thigh protection and I feel amazing. No more chub rub!!! Bring on summer!

Love the NO CHUB RUB! That is awesome!

What I love best though, besides that you've lost 250 pounds and I am incredibly impressed by that, is that you can run for an hour straight. The dedication it took for someone who was once super morbidly obese is beyond comprehension for most people. Gotta bow down to you, sister!

If you told me a year ago I would be able to run that much, I would have laughed! I am so thrilled that I've gotten this far.

I made her repeat it because I just couldn't believe it. My resting heart rate was over 100 before I had surgery. It's a new lease on life, that's for sure!

That's super awesome!  Way to go!  

I'm envious on the lack of chub rub but, I admit, I haven't been brave enough to risk it.  And wearing short shorts under my skirts lets me be riskier in terms of modesty ;)

Well I was wearing a maxi dress today so no worries about modesty! Give it a shot, you might be happily surprised...

THANK YOU! Feelin' good! I keep expecting the weight loss to stop, and while it has slowed a bit, it is just doing its own thing and I have no complaints.
