    Today marks 25 months since I made the decision to have weight loss surgery, my 41st birthday, and my sixth half marathon since completing my first in December.

    Way to Go!

    Hi all... I'm new (sort of) to MFP and am just beginning my journey toward surgery. I just wanted to say that this thread is hugely inspiring and I look forward to posting my own victories here in the future.

    @Lisidy you look great!
    I went to my first bootcamp this morning (5:30 am, in the rain) and didn't die.
