Ok, you have all inspired me. I've been lacking on the excersise portion of my weightloss, so I know March 1st is just around the corner, so lets all do a fitness challenge together. Any ideas on what challenge we should have? Walking distance in a month?, total minutes per day?.

Give your input and we'll do it together! Gooooooooooo January Bandsters!!!!! (yes I was a cheerleader in high school :-)

Hi Mags- I want to do an exercise challenge- maybe we should each set an individual goal, then edit our post to show our updates? Example:

Goal for the month 500 minutes

3/1 30/270/300

3/2 30/240/300

or something like that? Of course , I don't know if we can edit an existing post?

Just an idea, whatever we decide I'm in.

Mine is working out 3x/week with resistance 2x/week and getting at least some cardio. So I guess resistance 2x a week with tabata on those days plus 1 day?

I think individual goals would be awesome. Just Do It, what does the 300 represent? I think I'm going to set my exercise goal for 750minutes for the month of March.

I think this is great! I'm trying to find every excuse to exercise! it don't mater I live on the 4th floor lol so I try to pick up speed when I go up the floors or only take one thing up at a time I even will load myself with lots of items so it's heavy, things like that lol CMD what is C25K? it sounds like something I might want to look into. I want to do a K next yr but more like a 10k or 15k lol

Ok bandsters lets get out there and MOVE! We can do it lets get up and move our bodies! lol yes Mags I always wanted to be a cheerleader lol :P

CMD what is C25K?

Hi! C25K is Couch to 5K. It is a training program to ease you into running a 5K. There is an app for it for iPhone and Droid. I think it may be called Ease Into 5K now. Good luck!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
