Mark This Date in History-I took my first walk today!

Hi Everyone, I'm new to walking and this board. I'm pre-surgical with a BMI through the roof! I made it about 30 feet passed my driveway, but it will be 35 feet tomorrow. I don't want to wait till after surgery to shock my body with the concept of walking. I hope it will make me just a bit healthier to undergo the surgery, which is a few months away. I don't have any bragging rights but I just want to encourage- especially the super obese-the journey of a thousand miles begins- not in the recliner. Take Care Everyone! Roxane

Congratulations Roxane, It is good to do this before your wls, I wish I did cause It was awful. I was dead wt laying there in my bed and my legs sure wasn't strong enough to get up and walk. Walking is good, before I had wls, I couldn't even walk to my driveway before getting winded. so keep up the good job. Take care**Hugs**

This post if over a year old, but I liked your post and wanted to know how it all worked out. I went to your profile, but you haven't updated in a while. How is the walking going? How about the weight loss? Becky
