I've done a looooong slow run on the treadmill this morning - I had two lectures to listen to that were podcast and I decided to walk and listen to them, but walking got too boring, lol. So a very slow easy run, but I covered 7kms - YAY, I'm trying to build up to 8 to do a fun run in september. Man, it feels SO good to see that you've burned 750 calories!

I'm not even tired, before I even got on the treadie I'd hung out two loads of bed linen I washed and vacuumed and mopped the kitchen and family room floor, not to mention all the making of lunches and breakfasts and dropping the kidlets to school

I'm making a concerted effort to spend less time on the computer and burn more calories by doing more around the house, its a pigsty and incidental exercise is a big determiner of how fat or thin you are. Gonna wash some windows later this arvo.

Niche,

Good idea on yoga. I want to do a yoga class someday. I've never done one before, only DVD's. I hear that the stars do yoga to elongate their abdomen. That would be a great thing.

I've just been to the gym - a change is as good as a holiday. Having a treadmill at home has made ALL the difference to exercising regularly but its nice to have a change of environment. I did a 4km run on their treadmill chatting to the girl next to me, the time flew.

Then I went into the new circuit room - one of those ones with the flashing light and the hydraulic equipment and did a solid 30 minutes in there. It was great, I think I'm going to go back to being a regular at the gym - I wont cancel my membership afterall.

I love circuit, I find lifting weights pretty boring and mundane, and it makes it fun. I guess you're stuck with a high repetitions low weight routine though.

200 laps around my house chasing kids! Had someone working on my house all day and very frustrated that I couldn't make it to the gym. Had 3 hour practice for club team (we leave for Nationals on Saturday) in 110 degrees weather. Hopefully I sweated off some calories! Tomorrow I will be in Hollywood all day, dancing and walking. Plan on hitting the gym about 9pm tomorrow night when I get back to town! Let's see if I stick to that!!

Has anyone tried the Cardio chair by Body by Jake? My mom gave me one and..DAMN its like running...but your sitting down!! It is a real work out...I didnt belive it would be...but it had become my favorite machine to work out on. I also just got the Core Secrets program..ya know..the big ball you work out with? I love it...its different..and I can tell the difference already!

Im still not weighing in..I just cant do it..I know what will happen..and I will get pissy if I havent lost. I go to the DR again on Aug 14th for a second fill ( since the first one didnt do a thing!) and I will report the weight loss..or gain ( NO FREAKIN WAY!) then.

Thanks! Everyone!

great dame, i hear you on the no scale thing. it ends up being a de-motivator for me when i lose cuz then i feel like i can eat and eat. but when i realize that i haven't lost, i feel super motivated (like right now). so i guess i just have to use the scale sparingly. i've been eating well for 2 weeks, but i don't want to get on a scale b/c i'm afraid i'll regress. so i'm staying off of the scale... for now.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
