15 flights of stairs!
I have to share a NSV with yall and i want to be a cheerleader for anyone who is struggling with areas of their lives.
This weekend I was at Myrtle Beach with my church fall ladies conference. We were at the Breakers Resort having a beautiful 3 day weekend. Well it was the last day of the conference and everyone seemed to be trying to use the elevator at the same time so it was SOOOOOOO SLOWWWWWWWWW!!!!! So one of my tiny peppy friends suggested we take the stairs, i was sitting and comfy and just laughed and said nahhhhhhh that aint happening! So about a minute later Ginny (my tiny peppy little friend) suggested again in her peppy high school cheerleader voice COME ON YALL LETS TAKE THE STAIRS!! I reminded her were were in the lobby and the meeting room is on the 15th floor yes you read right it is on the 15th floor............She said (again in her tiny peppy high school cheerleader on helium voice) I know---come on Mrs. Renee WE CAN DO THIS I MISSED MY ZUMBA CLASS THIS WEEKEND i need to get some exercize!!!
Soooooooooooooooo i said Oh ok, we might as well or we will never get there. Being the eldest of our little group i gave in and said if im gona talk the talk i gotta walk the walk. so off we went, tromping up the stairs that went practically STRAIGHT UP. Ginny was humming some crazy sound that was supposed to be zumba music then when i yelled "MY LUNGS ARE ON FIRE" while i was laughing uncontrollably, she started humming very loudly the ROCKY theme, which made me laugh even harder. Every flight closer she would yell (in her tiny, peppy, high school cheerleader on helium and a case of monster energy drinks voice) 5 MORE FLOORS, 4 MORE FLOORS, 3 MORE FLOORS....UNTIL WE BUSTED THROUGH THE DOORS ON THE 15TH FLOOR INTO A ROOM FULL OF ABOUT 75 WOMEN WITH OUR HANDS RAISED, CHEERING AND CLAPPING AND SWEATING AND GINNY WAS STILL CHEERING US ON!!
So i hope to have made you laugh as i share my fantastic non scale VICTORY!!! and I hope to be YOUR cheerleader during this awesome adventure we call WLS!!!!!
Hope everyone else has a story they can share SOON!!!

That is AWESOME!!! 
Thanks for the post. Isn't it great when we're able to do things that were unthinkable at our starting weight? I no longer dread doing laundry since the basement stairs are no longer a problem. It's also nice to be able to get out of a chair without having to grunt and groan and push myself up -- I just stand up! It never gets old.
