My first century ride is in the books. Eating was a priority, so I ate. all. the.food. I only had a couple simple goals, the basic one was to finish. Secondary was finishing in daylight. I accomplished both, and actually kept up with the other riders for the most part. I really don't care what my weight is this week, as the NSV is WAY more important. Brett Favre and Bo Jackson both did the 100 mile as well, but they were way ahead of me :).
Next weekend, I am doing a 150 mile bike ride over two days. I'm working hard to recover from last weekend.
Have a great week all.

I'll take another 2 lb drop. Getting very excited to see the scale read below 200 sometime relatively soon. Week was decent in terms of food and exercise, but I didn't get to do as much this weekend as I would have liked in terms of physical activity. Too much other stuff going on. I'll be upping my tae kwon do classes next week as I'm testing for a green belt this coming Saturday.
Have a great week!
I'm also going to recommend a compression garment.
I've started having a lot of loose skin in my thighs, which has become a challenge in my tae kwon do class. When I do certain kicks, there is a "double" effect - the kick I'm actually doing, and then the flap of the thigh skin that sometimes makes and audible smacking sound.
I started wear compression pants and it has made a huge difference. I do sweat more in class, but I don't mind that so much.
Next up is going to be a compression top - I haven't found one that I like yet. For pants, I like the Sub Sports brand you can get on Amazon - they are pretty reasonable compared to the Nike and Under Armour options.
Thanks, Bill Mac. Went to Dick's and bought 2.
We shall see what happens now.

Hi- started running about 1 year post op. Ran 5k all the way thru a Full Marathon. I had similar issue and others like bleeding nipples(seriously hurt)Invest in compression shirts. I did and have not had issues since...

Well, moobs I have. I do want to start working with weights, just trying to get to 200 lbs first. No reason for that other than I wanted to avoid a sports related injury...

My first 100 fell off in under four months. The last 55-60 took six months. As you get nearer to the end of ketosis the rapid weight loss slows down. It's almost a given. Let's you head catch up to what has gone on with your body.
There or can get them at Wal-Mart too. Never used compression garments since as a plastic surgeon put it I had "deflated well". Not a runner but do walk a lot so that does not bother the moobs but when I do something that makes them bounce, riding a side by side on rough ground, I notice them then.
