I'm glad I can be of help! I wanted to make this thread for the people who are trying to make changes. Too many people focus on why they can't do something and let it cripple any progress they might've had. I want to see people who can and will do and try. It forms such a healthier sense of community and it honestly helps motivate me more to see everyone else's journeys. I have struggled with my body and my self image for years and I know what it's like to be feeling down about yourself. I'm still there sometimes. When I read about other people sharing their successes it reminds me of what mine feel like so that I can push through my own rough patches and plateaus

Thanks Ashley! Will be doing rowboat exercises from now on until Summer. Prob 10 a day until I get some core strength, pretty weak what with being a couch potato for the last 40 years!

Anybody have exciting updates?

**Grey Gambit** · 07-31-2014, 04:14 PM

I haven't been able to get much practice in, so my swim time seems to last a little over an hour before I tire out.
But the practicing I have been doing has made swimming easier. I'm now able to go about 3/4 of the pool length on a single breath. I don't remember how long the pool is though.

Had a bit of a scare after one of my laps. Felt fine underwater and resurfaced only to have trouble breathing in for a couple of seconds, light my throat closed up when inhaling. Made me glad I was at the edge of the shallow end so it wasn't as panic inducing. Didn't have any other troubles for the rest of the swim, but I also played it a bit more careful after that.

So I have a exciting new update, I am starting crossfit on tuesday! I am so excited and ready for it!

Thanks to my surgery I've lost 9 pounds since the 23rd of July. I can't wait until I can chew again and gain back my weight.

So cross fit is crazy, only after two days my body is so sore.

**Mermaid Jaffa** · 08-09-2014, 07:12 AM

I've been able to bend lower when doing the butt squats. Previously couldn't do it without my legs aching for days, but now it doesn't hurt when I do that exercise.

So morning of surgery I was 129 lbs. in the first week I was down to 122. Next week I was down to 118. I just weighed myself and I'm at 119.6

I really can't wait until I can chew again so I can get back to my normal weight. (125-126)
