    Hi Deb, I just saw you info and I can relate to your story. I have had G-By pass and have lost 147 pds. Its funny the way some of my firends who have weight problems look at me now. They seem to be jealous. I get new clothes and not a word is mentioned that they like them, but when I was fat and bought something new a comment was made then. Good job on your success. Its funny that your living in Dubai, I have a son and daughter living in Dubai. I was wondering where you had your surgery and I see that you are having thigh and arm tuck and that is what I need to have. Its very expensive in Canada and I am wondering if your having this done in Dubai and what the cost is? Maybe when I come for vacation there I might check into it. It is really hard to find a good surgeon. O would love to see the before and after shots of what they do. I am a visual type of person. I am interested in how will the scars look. For me I don't heal the best and I would feel not so good if the scars are bad. I would love to stay in touch with you. I am very new to this sight. Actually today is the first time I am writing on it. I just got the news letter. Keep in touch with me. My email address is ellen_140@hotmail.co m. Good luck with your next surgery. Hope to talk to you soon.

Fat Girl Slim - my Journey
The ramblings of a 'formerly fat girl'


C25k Start
on July 31, 2010 9:19 am
So this week I started the Couch to 5k programme as a new challenge to myself. 

I downloaded the programme off of the web and also the Podrunner Podcast from iTunes.  The Podrunner consists of good inspirational music with a great beat, which you walk and jog/run too.  Instead of having to watch the minutes passing by on the treadmill, the podcast beeps at you and you know to change pace - it's great.

So here's how I did this week :

Sunday - C25k -Week 1, Day 1 - jogged for half of the jogging parts and walked the rest
               Pilates class

Monday - Rest day

Tues      C25k - Week 1, Day 2 - jogged for 3/4 of the jogging parts and walked the rest

Weds     Pilates Class & 30 mins of mall walking (& a bit of shopping too !)

Thurs     RPM Class

Saturday C25k - Week 1, Day 3 - jogged for ALL of the jogging parts ! - YEAH

Walking is at 5.7-6 k/per hour and jogging is at 7.5 k/per hour - not sure if that's good, bad or indifferent - but I feel comfortable at this level - I also noticed today that I covered 3.2 k's in the 30 minutes at this pace and reached a massive 10.4 cals per minute on my FitBugg.

Am debating whether to do the Week 1 programme again so that I can improve my stamina, or move straight onto week 2 - which some people have said is easier - will see how I feel on Monday which is my next training day for C25k.

If you are interested in the programme it's on the web : www.c25k.com and the podcast is on the iTunes site - put C25k in the search box and look for the Podrunner which is FREE.

So after my exercise today (C25k) and 15 mins of weights the stats are as follows :

Moderate Exercise 18 mins
Vigorous Exercise : 19 mins
Cals Burned : 398
Max cals per minute : 10.4

PS - this seems to have started off my weight loss again too - I've lost 3lbs this week alone

Wish me Luck !
Debbie
