10 miles!

Ran the Twin Cities 10 mile race today!!!! We finished together holding hands (me and my Fiancee Francesca). It was INCREDIBLE. Love to all, ~Lara 4/1/04 SMO to Athlete 400+ to 193 - BEYOND GOAL!

Lara, I am encouraged about you weightloss. Is there any way you can email me and tell me how in the world you lost that fast. I was nearly that and I have lost 105 but my doc don't think I will lose but to 200. HELP or encourage. (email me if you wish) Thanks, Christy 4-14-05 (lost I think 110)

I am curios. Why does your Doc think you will not lose 200? I am going for it!! And hope to lose 293 pounds b4 I am thru. And I have seen many on here losing alot more. You can do it!!! Toodles, Reneé 418/309/125 -109lbs!!

I walk every single day - 30 minutes a day. No exceptions, no excuses. I follow pouch rules with very minimal exceptions. I am careful about monitoring my calories to ensure that I'm not misbehaving. I never touch refined sugar. Otherwise - I do what everyone else does. I dropped 45 as a pre-op - then lost the rest within the first 9 months. That I lost this much was beyond my reckoning and understanding. Do your best every day - and this success is all yours. Anything is possible, if try hard enough and you're truly ready for the change. ~Lara
