Congrats!! I had similar experience this weekend. I just started a new job and was trying to make my old slacks work for a little while longer until I had the cash to get some new ones. They were a size 16 and definitely too big since I've lost 35 pounds. I decided that I looked silly, and had to get some new ones ASAP, so…

Sounds like it was a very minor procedure and you were not given any restrictions, so you are likely quite safe to begin your normal workout routine, although I would probably avoid swimming until it is fully healed (7-10 days).

I've been overweight my entire life, beginning with sneaking in an extra breakfast at preschool. As you can imagine, this has led to a lifetime of insecurity regarding my appearance. I recently became a Physician Assistant, and during my medical education, witnessed so many of the terrible effects of diseases like strokes,…

I ran cross country in high school, but hadn't run since then. I just recently decided to try running again (it has been about 8 years) and I did an 8 week training plan. I ran my first 5K since high school just this morning! If you just stick to it and do the workouts even though its no fun, you will see improvement every…

Took me about 5 or 6 days to start feeling stronger and less exhausted each time. By the end of the 30 days, I lost about 10 pounds. Wasn't "shredded" by any means, but definitely was considerably stronger and each day, the workouts got easier.
