I did 4 miles today , except my fitbit said I did 8.5 ( I added my activities on there and it calculated my steps to be 8.5 miles ) . I guess I should be good and only accept the 4 miles :) lol

Does driving to work with your bike on the back of your count as riding? I had good intentions to go tonight, but got out of work late.

I did walk 2 miles today.

I'm in! My name is Parker. For day one I walked 8 miles. I walked an even 200 miles last month (thanks to Georgia!), not sure I'll be able to top that, but I'm going to give it my best shot.

Butter so glad you're doing well.....woohoo to the missus.

Ted, glad your wife' surgery went well.

Wow! Lots of new faces! Glad to meet everyone. Here's to lots of miles this month!

1.3 miles today - not a great start, but at least I got off the couch! And I joined the Squatober challenge my trainer put me up to - 100 squats today. Add to that my 45 strength training workout & I'm feeling smiley :)

So excited! My trainer has decided to match my 100 miles!! She's awesome, this will totally help keep me going. And Laura-Ven inspired me to get a bike (for now I'm going to borrow one). I haven't ridden a bike in 33 years!!!

I'm starting to think I might actually be able to get to 100!!

So I started off Oct. with a bang, and did a double workout yesterday. I just started last week with a new fitness class called Women and Weights. I go to a gym regularly and take classes, at least 3 a week. But my own personal preference is cardio...I like the exercise high I get from it. But I was only doing a small amount of weights, so I decided to take a class gear towards weight lifting ...and liked the idea of women only. There are 7 of us in the class (so nice small group) and the instructor changes things up everyday.

So I Tues and Thurs I do 1 hour of weight lifting and then go directly to do an hour of spin. Now yesterday for weight lifting, she decided to warm us up by having us do cardio. I did a mix of the stairclimber (first time trying this machine and must say I'm not a fan...the moving stairs are a bit dizzying and the only way I could manage it was to make it super-fast otherwise my toes kept hitting the stairs as the unfolded from the machine...) and the treadmill. So I added those numbers into my total so far.

18.2 is my kickoff number!

I'm Chris,

The thread last month was a HUGE motivator for me too, so glad you started this up for October! I got started late in September so I didnt' get to 100, but 60 in 17 days I was happy with.

I got 5.2 miles in last night.

Good luck everyone!

4 miles yesterday, walking and sprinting. I have an injury with my hip that I am trying to resolve. It has seriously slowed down my workouts and it's driving me crazy!

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
