6 month update Post Op RNY

I cannot even begin to share how much my life has changed!!!! I am down 85 pounds. My pre surgery weight was 230 pounds. I am not 145 pounds!! I am getting my certification as a Fitness Instructor! I run 6 kms every morning! Ive climbed up Mount Seymour in BC. I did the Grouse Grind in Vancouver, BC (I live in Canada). My energy level is amazing! I feel amazing!! The RNY was the best thing that I ever did!!! It has given me my life back!!

I decided to get my certification as a Fitness Instructor/Weight Trainer/Group Fitness Boot Camp Instructor for two reasons. First, I dont ever want to go back to that horrible place where I was, physically and mentally. Second, I want to help others who are struggling with their weight, self esteem, their mental and physical wellbeing and so much more!!! I am so excited and passionate about being able to share and help others. I'm paying it forward!!

Anyways I just wanted to share. I am going to try and add some pics on to my account. LOL.  

That is amazing!!!  Congrats and keep up the great work!  I'm looking forward to being in your shoes!  

WOW...You are amazing! SO many exciting new things

What a breath of fresh air your note is. There's nothing quite as exciting as getting a whole new life. I too have been inspired to hit the gym and am at the start of the second week of the 12-week Body-for-Life routine of weight training and cardio. Unlike you, I hate running so have chosen swimming for my cardio workout. When I get a chance, I play tennis. Maybe I'll get around to leaving my comfort zone of White Rock and do the 'Grind' before long. Well done, my fellow Canadian. I look forward to exchanging more stories of success with you.
