Orginal post:
I started this post partly to start more activity within this forum. People starting with BMI's 50+ share an extra something in common and understand the challenges that it takes to become healthy and stay motivated even after a stall. Most of us face the overwhelming reality that not even 100, 125 or 150 lbs is enough to get us to a fully healthy state. This daily post is just to announce what you have done physically to add to your overall health. As we all know, exercise is an essential key and it provides benefits in tremendous ways.
My heaviest was 383 lbs and by surgery date i was 368 lbs. I have walked from week one following surgery and along the course i have gotten discouraged but always stayed passionate to continue my journey. It was hard and i sometimes cried along the way but i feel so much better because exercise is fueling me with energy, hope, inspiration and the drive that's needed to continue long term. I workout 4-5 days a week and my activity changes from day to day however, cardio is always in the program. Rather your 2 months or 8 yrs post op we're all going through the same fight equally. I've had to build up to where i am today but it doesn't matter if you can only walk 10 minutes to start, the point is; YOU'VE STARTED.

177 lbs GONE & Dancing:)
Ok guys i didn't make my challenge yesterday but today is a new day. I've already planned to go to the gym with our OH sister "CallMeMsE" and can't wait. So i plan on doing atleast 5 miles on elipitical and i'll see what else her gym has to offer. Yesterday, i felt drained probably from the day before so i took time to listen to my body and take a little rest while i focused on some projects that needed my attention.
