Crabby54

OK, I'm in too. Starting mid month but I used the weight from the beginning of the month, which is when the challenge started. I can correct this if needed. My weigh in day is Wednesday.

I'm now at a total of 216 minutes. Almost halfway.

Reporting in for the exercise challenge. I've exercised for a total of 111 minutes so far. (Don't ask where the odd minute came from, I don't know. LOL)

That makes 3 of us ---- I'm from Wilmington, Delaware!

Get yourself some 100% Vitamin E oil and use it a couple times a day. It's really sticky but will the scars will heal faster.

MM, when would you like us to update you? On a daily basis? Or once a week? You da boss on this, let us know. Oh, and thanks for keeping track.

My surgery was on 6/27 and I'm trying to find new ways to get in all that protein. Yesterday I made some sugar free jello and added a scoop of Any Whey. This morning I had some for breakfast with nonfat vanilla yogurt. Wow, what a nice breakfast!:hungry: This is what I had: 1/2 cup SF jello = 3 gm protein 1/4 cup NF vanilla yogurt = 8 gm protein So for 11 gms of protein I had a nice little breakfast.:clap2: I may even have some more as a snack later tonight. So what's your new favorite protein snack/meal? Care to share?

LOL, maybe I should change my goal to a total of 450 minutes!!

MM, add me to the July-zer-cizers. My goal is a total of 450 hours.

Hello everyone! May I join the ranks of over 50? I have skimmed through some of your posts and found myself laughing with you all. I can so indenify with most of you. I'm not banded yet but will be on June 27th. I can hardly wait. I was starting to have some doubts about being almost 53 when I'm banded but seeing this thread has given me more hope. And more excitment. Looking forward to getting to know you all.

I’ve kinda been lurking off and on for a few weeks while I get all my ducks in row. Now that I finally have my surgery date I’d like to introduce myself. (Don’t ask why I waited, I don’t know.) I’m Marie in Wilmington, Delaware. I’ll be banded by Dr Peters on June 27 th. And I can hardly wait! Has anyone else been banded by Dr Peters? I’m amazed at all the pre-tests and procedures he has me doing. I’ve done 7 appointments so far and have another 4 before the pre-op appointment with Dr Peters 2 weeks before surgery. Oh, and that’s not counting the blood work and chest x-ray. Well, at least I’ll know the state of my body before banding and will have more than just weight loss as a way to measure my success. Right? And I THINK my insurance is paying at least 70% of this. That I can handle. I look forward to getting to know you all.
