You might be surprised in the next couple of weeks how your body responds. I say stick with both.

I'm sticking with both, Butter. Chugging along! I hope I start to see some changes in myself. Specifically, I'd like my butt to be in the general area in which it should be!

What is the squatober challenge? I'm intrigued..is it 200 squats/day? I need to do something like that!

My trainer put me up to it; someone started a page on Facebook called 'Squatober', and

The challenge is:

4,000 Squats (Beginner) (~130 Squats/Day)

7,000 Squats (Intermediate) (~225 Squats/Day)

10,000 Squats (Advanced) (~323 Squats/Day)

I'm aiming for 100 per day; so far, so good! Check it out, I think anyone can join.

My stats:

Today - 2.2 miles, 105 squats

Total to date: 4.6 miles, 305 squats

This comment might be in way left field but I need to ask... do any of you use compression garments for stomach arms or legs? Like the runners sleeves or runner compression pants...spanks anything.... do they help?

Shannon

I use something called Flexees ...it's a tank and I wear one every single day (and for workouts also.) They really do help keep everything tight and in place, except for I'm larger chested. No matter how tight my exercise bra is I'm still just not a fan of jumping jacks. <_<

Awesome job on the squats. I don't keep track of mine (maybe I should?) but I've done enough this week to feel the burn during and the pain after! :P

Great job, keep it up!

Current numbers: 35.8 (collectively from spin, treadmill, stairclimber, and running around the gym track.) My next big plan is to take it easy this weekend...

Hi all! I love reading everyone's progress...even if I don't comment on everyone's posts, please know that I'm reading and smiling at everyone's awesomeness! So..yesterday I got in only a 2 mile walk. This brings my total to: 14.13 miles. I have walked 6.3 miles in 3 days. The rest has been on my bike. I wish I could do more walking and running (can't run for my life!) but I simply don't have the time to do this challenge by just walking. I love my bike for this reason. Plus, I can really ramp up my intensity on my bike. But, now that the weekend is upon us, I plan on doing a fairly intense hike (for me)...the hike has a 314 ft gain from the lowest point. I start at 280 ft and max at 544 ft. I love this workout! I hope the weather holds up....good luck to everyone! Let's get the most out of our weekend workouts!

      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!!
