Okay, someone post a challenge.

How about:

Water intake 64 oz.

This seems to be difficult for a lot of people, me included.

Excercise 30 minutes of brisk walking EVERY day.

I know I have an excuse for why I can squeeze 30 minutes in, but I found walking in place is still excercise. Watch your favorite show and walk in place.

I am only on week 3 of my banding, so I am not released to do any other excercise. But, I have been following a lot Blogs and the forums and notice that even those who have been banded for a while have stopped excercising or eating right. I am struggling with the soft foods because it opened a door where I could be tempted to overindulge, so if I have someone or a group that can hold me accountable...I am in.

I have only been on here for a month, I don't know anyof the questions.

But I do have a few suggestions.

Goal: to drink a minimum of 8 cups / 64 oz of Water

(just water! tea, juices and other drinks do not count.)

Use a 1/2 gallon pitcher and fill it every morning, when the pitcher is empty you are done.

(refill and challenge yourself to drink more)

Post Daily:

Water intake

Energy level

Post Every Monday:

Weight

(don't weigh everyday, it will drive you crazy)

Copy and post the template below and fill in the information that you are comfortable sharing on Wednesday August 1st the come back every Wednesday on the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th and post your updated weight.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
