I just finished a 10 minute 2.56 mile ride on the recumbent bike. My goal today is to do something I haven't done yet. Break the 10 mile mark in 1 day. My best so far was 9.39 miles this past Monday. Time for a little push! My overall total now stands at 71.7 miles.

I want to challenge everyone to try and push yourself a little further than you usually go today. I hope everyone feels as good as I do! Have a great day everyone!

Let's do this.

Amazing, beautiful day here in the Philly area. Took a 13.8 mile trail ride bringing my total to 78.4 so far. My challenge today was riding a small section of trail that I've never ridden before. It runs next to an old canal and is what is left of the tow path. It's flat but very narrow, only 4-6" in some spots, thus making balance important so as not to take an unintentional swim in the canal. Also I startled a flock of mallards, don't know who was more startled, the ducks or me. That was almost a fall into the murky canal water! Yuck!

pre-surgery weight 325; surgery date 2/28/2013; surgery weight 307; 8 weeks past-op weight 281.4; 12 weeks post-op 274; 4 month post-op 266.2; 5 month post-op 262.6; 6 month post-op 253.2

I'm trying!!! :P

I just put in 10 miles on the bike.

I've got to work off this vacation fog I've gotten into

Total 56 miles I will try for another 10 tomorrow.

Awesome. Two 10 mile days in a row? Be careful. You're in danger of becoming one of those fitness freaks.

That's cool. It's always exciting covering a new trail. Pretty soon you'll know that stretch like the back of your hand.

Lol no worries about that!

I should admit it was an easy ten miles...

I just got dumped for tomorrow though, my husband got invited to go "real" mountain biking so I'm on my own :( The treadmill and I have a date now

Alright everyone. Y'all are all doing great. It's getting to be home stretch time for me it seems. Day 20.....ran 6 glorious miles on the trail this morning....putting me up to 82.1. I'm going to be a little sad when this month ends' date=' but I have a major surgery to look forward too. As soon as I'm able, I'm going to start back up again. Already looking forward to that. I certainly hope all of y'all keep going an keep pushing the limits of what you thought was possible. I'm already over my typical monthly miles with 10 days to go and I feel terrific about it....my one toe not withstanding.[/quote']

Bean I don't know if you already said, but if I may ask what are you having surgery for?

Fast Day on 5:2 ended a little over 600. But with my 3.17 miles I netted a little over 400. Makes total miles 74.

Updated. Another 1.13 total 4.3 today. 75.17. :).

Every little bit helps!!!

I'm a little over 70 miles today. If I can keep up my average of 3.5 miles a day, I've got this thing nailed. Y'all are keeping me motivated (note the y'all... yes, I'm from the south)!

I'm having my TT on 9/30. That's kinda why I'm doing this...I know I'm going to miss running for a good 8 weeks or so....trying to get my fill. Plus I needed a goal going into my surgery date so I wouldn't just get lazy.

Good for you! keep us up to date and how your recovering. I know I'll have to probably have one too. How long did you wait from VS to TT?

      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!!
