Thanks for sharing this... I am actually having my surgery on 2-21-12 (FAT TUESDAY!!!). Although I have not had your struggles yet, I do have people telling me I am taking the 'Easy Way Out'... I really don't think they understand the position that I am in, or my reason for wanting to be in a different place. I am blessed to have a wife and three kids that are my own personal support group. Good luck to you and good luck on your endeavors.
I've watch almost everyone of ur vids!!! Keep up with what ur doing! U look great and have no idea how motivating you are! Thank you katie you Rock!!!!! Simply amazing
I'm so glad that you said you enjoy running even after the lapband. I want to be able to continue running afterward, and I wasn't sure if it was possible pain free or if it would be uncomfortable!
Hi Katie, I have been watching your videos for the last couple of months. My lapband surgery is scheduled for this coming Thursday, I am getting ready to start my own journey and video blog and i just wanted to say THANK YOU! You have been more of an inspiration to me than you could ever know. Keep them coming, they fuel me and give me such great encouragment..
I watch your video and u inspire me, my starting weight is the same as yours was. I want lap band surgery and I'm coming very close to picking my surgery date. I was told my bmi is too high. What was your starting bmi??
I love watching your videos. I'm still waiting to decide what surgery to get. I want lap band but I was told any bmi over 45 isn't recommended. I watch your video and u started at the same weight I am. U are inspiring me!!! What was your staring bmi??
I would love to drive over to the half with you guys :) at least just as support since i live in seattle hehe. :P your gain is under control because you know exactly what to do to get rid of it :)
Thanks Katie...always so refreshing. I look forward to watching your progress on the half. I'm running my first 5k in March so you are a major inspiration. Keep up the great work.
Hiiii long time no see (on my part lol, I fell off the planet for a sec)!!! So lemme tell ya how great it is to get back on youtube and check out videos and see alll the progress from everyone! You look AMAZING and I am so happy for you. You will do great at meeting your goal and I am so excited to get to take part in watching your journey! You are insiration my dear!
Good luck with your new training and have fun! You should be super proud! I am!! xoxox
Love the new fitness goal, way to push yourself more with different goals. First it was your nutrition then weight fitness and now new fitness goals. I love this!
You are still a great inspiration . Good luck with marathon training. I am 54 years old. I have ran 8 marathons and lots of halfs. I know you can do it. Just increase your mileage slowly. Add an extra mile each week. Try an get in some hill training. That really helps. Good luck.
I can really relate to what you are talking about with becoming comfortable and relaxing and not wanting to exercise when you have developed a routine. I am feeling that way right know and all I can say is thanks for this video and I will work on re-energizing myself. Let’s keep it moving
great update thanks! i also have found that around that 2yr mark i started getting a little lazy...it happens and then we must move on! having the fitness goal and plan will keep u on track in the coming months.
i always love how real you are with where you're at and i'm so pumped to be on this journey with you! 13.1 miles WILL be OURS june 17th baby - there is nooo doubt about that. keep on pushin! you are a winner and you will MEET your goal despite any challenges that may come. Love you hunny! xo
Thanks for continuing to be an inspiration to so many! You always keep it real while having a smile & making it a positive! I appreciate all you offer everyone! I know you & the Chickpeas will rock it out for your 1/2 marathon! You have each other to keep you motivated! Best of luck in your training!
I have been following you throughout your journey and You are truly my inspiration and I love how you always keep it 100% honest in every video!! Keep up the good work!
FUN trip and something only WLS sisters would do together~ looking forward to seeing the results of the 2012 success. Thanks for keeping this real for all of us.
You look great! Congrats on the 1/2 marathon goal...what an accomplishment! Also, congrats on keeping yourself in check. My holidays were the same and now I'm back down. The beauty of this tool is that you can fix it!!! Take care:)
Making yourself and your employer know that balance is important to you is a good practice to get into early in your career. Good employers appreciate those who care for themselves, it makes for a happier employee. And someone who doesn't call out sick alot, use up insurance $ and set a good example for the other employee's. Good for you asking about getting out early for your class!
You're comfortable in your tiny jeans. Because you're a bad ass. Hence the half marathon we're going to kick the shit out of in Manitoba. *insert "duh" emoticon and the freshly-patented "B.U.H." emoticon - because it's still funny. ;)
