October 100 Mile Challange!



Recommended Posts

Okay, broke down and bought recumbent bike today. Decent. Not high end. Between walking and cycling. 8.5 today. Gives me 65.4 total. I have arisen.

Here's the pic and you will notice the pillow! You won't believe this. My rump is so bony I'm to the point of doubling over a pillow and sitting with my tailbone "hanging" off the pillow! dear. Lord.

:(

YAY a bike!!! Love it! And yeah that is a bummer about having to "pad" it because you don't have any fat down there anymore...wait that should be a NSV! Haha! At least you can leave the pillow behind when you are done and not have be a permanent part of your body! ;)

3.0 miles walked today. The wife and I went and knocked out a little Christmas shopping. She took the new profile picture for me. We even picked up a little early Christmas present for her....a Fitbit Flex. No we are both tracking mileage!

So, that puts my total at 95.6 miles for the month. I should break 100 tomorrow easily!

I just heard something on the news today about fitbits (maybe from the Today show?) anyway they were "testing" devices and that one rated pretty high as far as "accurately" counting calories burned etc.

Hi everyone, I have logged another 14.8 miles which puts me at 47.2 miles. I will get my 50 miles in by Thursday. Surgery is on Friday so don't expect to get much more in for the remainder of the month.

Great job, and good luck on your upcoming surgery!

You can do it RoxFC. Don't give up. We have 10 days left. I plan to get at least 5 miles Halloween night. No distance is too far to walk for free candy.< /p>

Yes! I know you're right...I will not let myself down!

We're at the kids table remember? That means no matter how little we do, people have to cheer for us. Kinda like we say to our kids "you brushed your teeth! Yay! What a good boy you are!" for all the stupid everyday sh/t they do. Same here. Coz we're at the kids table. You don't have to make 100 miles. We just have to do our best. :) Speaking of which I just snorkeled my ass off for an hour swimming against the current.

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
