10 miles on the bike today.

This kind of comment makes me so angry. Lots of fat women like fat guys and lots of hot guys/women like fat men/women. My taste in men runs the gamut, I married a Navy Seal and he was hot and VERY physically fit. I've also been in a long term relationship with a fat man and I found him very attractive as well.
Please don't place your self hate on anyone else...

Good to know! I think I'll keep drinking a Protein shake a day until I'm able to eat enough to get my Protein from food.

Ok just got back from a awesome mountain biking trip. I put on just a smidge over 10 miles

2 miles of wa-jog

10 miles on the bike today.

10 miles on the bike today.

That is exactly what I did. I now do not drink them as I am able to get what I need from food. Thank God! I was getting sick of the shakes.

I've been able to eat food for the past two days now, eggs included. I've had boiled and scrambled with just a tiny bit of cheese on top, I did get indigestion afterwards but to be fair it seems like everything I've eaten has given me heartburn. I also can't eat the amount that is listed on my post op diet, for example, it says one egg and I can maybe get down half of it. It's a little bit annoying...

It's just for motivation anyway! I never thought I would seriously be able to do 100 miles last month. My average was about 1-2 miles a couple to three times a week!!!! So.....
I say, just join in - kick it into gear - and do what you can! Nobody on here cares if it's called "100 mile" challenge! We are all just doing what we can!
If you do 50, that's 50 you didn't do last month!

Hey there everyone. Today has been a great day. My wife's surgery went great and the surgeon was extremely happy afterwards. I have spent the entire day at the hospital, lots of waiting and walking around between the waiting room, cafeteria, the car, her room, etc. I was able to get a total of 3.06 miles in today which puts my final total for the month of September at 126.9! I still can't believe I was able to do this so soon. Thank you everyone for the motivation! Great job and I can't wait to see everyone's progression next month!

I think the point is to just do what you can. I'm hesitant to set a goal because I can go a crazy number of miles on my little stationary bike. Just yesterday I pedaled for 42 miles, so I'm not going to set a goal here aside from moving every day.

If the to go cups help you you can buy them at the grocery store by the paper plates
I know I drink a 32 oz Powerade zero a day and after I fill it up again with orange crush Water Enhancer because I like drinking from the bottle

I'm seeing everyone posting these goals and I'm getting anxious. Can I still join even if I only think I can do 40 miles? Or do I need to sit at a kids table somewhere? The one labelled with a P for wussy?

As I was sitting in my chair at work today, I noticed something felt weird about my tummy. It just didn't feel right when I sat. Then I realized it's because my tummy now curves INWARD when I sit, and no longer pooches over my thighs in a lovely half moon. haha

Martin!! Man don't give it away!!
Dude I have a business proposition for you..
Lets just say I see us on rodeo drive selling and making big stacks of cash....

We have to remember that just because a person is not morbidly obese, doesn't mean they do not have issues with their relationship with food or how they see themselves. Years ago my sister had an adjacent hospital room with a woman dealing with anorexia. I was 15 years old and saw her in the hallway. She was emaciated. Hate to use the analogy, but the only way I can describe how she looked was akin to images you may have seen of POWs or holocaust victims. I had noticed that she would always be sitting in a chair and not laying in bed. In the hallway, I asked her why and she said that people burn more calories sitting up rather than laying. I asked her why she need to burn more calories and she said because she was fat.
She died a week later.
Yes, this is an extreme case, but "normal" weight people have issues with food and self image, too. As others have posted, this is her issue. Don't make it yours.

I've always thought if I was single I would check out meetup.com. You can participate in activities with others that like the same things.

Hey there !! - it's Kay ! - don't worry I'll be there, and Bobbi and Donna (and Joy) good grief we've got enough to be the Spice Girls !! - I think I gave you my number and email - I know how you feel though, it's not the same as family - but honestly, while we're all over there - we're family !!

Oh yay! I'm glad this thread was started. I go back to work on Wednesday and this will definitely motivate me to get some exercise in when I get home at night!
Doesn't bother me if people know my first name, it's Ella.

I'm 8 weeks post op and I don't think that reality has quite caught up with me yet but I do fantasize about it for sure.
Beats fantasizing about eating a piece of cake

My total is 192.5 miles.
It was a beautiful day to walk around Washington, D.C. We started at the Lincoln memorial, walked around Korean, WWII, Washington monument, up to the US Capital bldg, thru the botanical gardens, thru the Air and space museum and back to Lincoln for a total of 9 miles!
