Question for joggers...
on 7/25/07 12:11 am - PA
I am 16 months out and still not at goal. *sigh* BUT I am doing everything I can to get there. I have a personal trainer and through him have recently discovered that I can RUN!! Now these were short distances for speed. Before WLS, I couldn't run anymore because of knee/ankle issues. Now, I 've decided I want to jog on my "off PT" days and I have gotten together with some ladies from my local support group to meet at a track and walk. I made my first attempt at jogging there (where I felt SAFE with my girls) and was completely thrown for a loop! My knees don't hurt, my ankles don't hurt, I don't feel like an elephant, BUT my butt hurts! The skin from the weight loss causes all this extra "jiggle" when I run and it really bothers me. It actually hurts! Now I know they make sports bras for us ladies, but sports panties??? Does anyone know of anyway to combat this? I've been thinking of even wearing a girdle, but I don't want to feel all bound and confined when I am exercising. Any ideas?

Thank you so much!!! This is EXACTLY what I was looking for! The idea that I may actually become a "runner" is absolutely blowing my mind!
