You are all phenominal! I love to hear your successes. Congrats to all.
As for me? Well...
What goals have you accomplished so far?
I've made it into a size 12. Best of all, I've upped the ante on my exercise routine, resulting in a resting heart rate of 62 bpm down from 99 bpm last August. My cardiologist is impressed. Many athletes have resting heart rates of 60 bpm.
What goals are you working towards?
I'm still struggling towards the 50 lbs lost mark. I got within 2 lbs of it when I started yet another weight gaining cycle. As of today, I'm four pounds away. Also, I'm re working my strength training routine to focus on body sculpting.
What are you most proud of?
I'm most proud of improving my resting heart rate and wearing regular size clothing. Its so good to be able to shop in almost any store without wondering if anything there will fit me. Next stop those tiny designer clothes.

It knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed.
Every morning in
It knows that it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve.
It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle
when the sun comes up you'd better be running.

I am playing with my kids!!!!
I can cross my legs.
I hit the 50 lbs lost, and am down 83lbs now.... (just got off a stall though)
I can run up a flight of stairs without being winded! I mean RUN!!!
a few weeks ago, I went down a slide, and had room on both sides of my butt!
Also if I am out and the family wants fast food, I will grab a Chicken soft taco from taco bell, and remove half the tortilla (there isn't enough room for the whole thing). or I will grab a grilled ranch chicken snack wrap from McDonalds..... Again, I remove half the tortilla. I know both have at least 9 grams of protein. Again, not a problem tolerating them.
I'll give it a try...its just so strange..
i've heard stories from others pre-op
but never would of dreamt it would happen to me..
LOL-9.25 inches! You're doing great Kathy. It's amazing how we're all shrinking, but we don't realize how much until we pull out the measuring tape. You should keep "pumping iron" and measuring your progress too, it helps to motivate, even when the scale won't move. =D
Well, last measurements were on May 25th. I've only lost 8 lbs. since that date, however, after taking measurements tonight...I have lost 9.25 inches since May 25th! WHY DIDN'T I WORK OUT YEARS AGO!?
Oh, wait, I was really really out of shape and afraid to have a heart attack...forgot about that
I think I'll make a monthly date with my measuring tape!
Never thought I'd say that!Hope you all are having an amazing weekend!
Hugs,
Kathy
