    I plan on riding some rides at the carnival with my kids this year during the Rodeo. I haven't been able to do that in years due to my size.



    Highest weight after having kids was 306

    I just bought a really nice pair of hot pink snow pants. I'm waiting for a good snow to go and have some sledding fun or even just a snowball fight with my boys!

    Edited to add that my snow pants are a ladies L and not men's XXL.

    Oh, I can't wait....I just walked 5000 steps on my Wii without being winded, and I am a week postop today! Nothing big for some, but for me happiness!

    Congrats!!! I'm SO jealous!! Wish we had volleyball leagues around here for adults! When I lived in San Antonio, my apartment complex had a sand court and we played every Sunday afternoon. I really miss it.

    So awesome, everyone! I was just thinking about joining a Volley Ball team! But, what I have done is last evening my almost 3 year old granddaughter "chased" her Grammy from the front door all the way to the Parking Lot. I didn't feel winded at all and nothing hurt! It was so much fun running with my granddaughter! Five months ago, I would have never even thought about doing that!

    I ran up 3 flights of steps twice!! I wasn't even out of breath and could do it again. I can't believe what can be done when you're thinner and fitter, it's amazing!! Have a great weekend everyone.
