I'm seeing everyone posting these goals and I'm getting anxious. Can I still join even if I only think I can do 40 miles? Or do I need to sit at a kids table somewhere? The one labelled with a P for wussy?

I think the point is to just do what you can. I'm hesitant to set a goal because I can go a crazy number of miles on my little stationary bike. Just yesterday I pedaled for 42 miles, so I'm not going to set a goal here aside from moving every day.

Hey everyone! Great job on your totals for September and a huge thank you to Butterthebean for starting that post and challenging us all to challenge ourselves. We all wish BTB great success and a speedy recovery from his surgery. We know you will be watching and cheering us on. October is among us and with that comes a new challenge. 100 miles in 31 days! Walk, run, bike, whatever you do, log those miles and drink that water! Anyone who has been lurking in the shadows and watching last months challenge, now is your time to join us! It doesn't matter if you do 1 mile a day or 20, just go at your pace and have fun! For those of us who participated in last months challenge, I want to issue a personal challenge to add another 15 miles to what you did last month. After all, there is 1 more day in this month.

On a side note, this group has become very motivational for me as well as others. If you don't mind, let's let everyone know your real first name. If you would rather not and just want to go with your username that is perfectly fine. I will kick it off...my name is Ted. Good luck everyone and log those miles!!

Thank you, Ted for starting the thread. I will commit to 125 miles this month. I plan to log in at least once per week with my numbers. I'm planning on at least 32 miles per week. I love these challenges and it really helped make a difference for me this month. My name is Roxana and I'm so glad to have you all as an inspiration to me... I wish Butter a speedy recovery and can't wait to have him back in the challenge! Good luck everyone...we can do this!

Roxana

Hey folks. I survived thanks to some really good drugs. They are working wonders at the moment.

Thanks for offering to do my miles but Mrs Butter wants to do them for me and I'll log her progress here.....if y'all are good with a non sleever participating.

Thanks for all the well wishes.

Glad you're doing well! Take care of yourself and I'm glad your wife is joining in the fun!

I'm glad those drugs are working out for you (ahem...if you have any extra...). I hope you have a speedy recovery and we hope to see you poking your nose in here often. :D

Ted...how did your wife's surgery go?

Sent from my iPhone using VST

Sorry it took so long to respond but everything went great! She has had very little pain and I just got home from the hospital where she was asleep like a cute little baby! There was a delay getting her into surgery for some reason so she didn't even go back til 11:30am. The Dr. was very happy with her surgery and her progress so far. I have no doubt she will be up and at it as soon as possible. Thanks for asking.

Ok I'm in - never thought I would do that. Not sure if I can manage 100 but will promise to do my best. I'm going on holiday 26th so it might be a short month. I will be using my elliptical.

No need to take a guess on the name -Cathy.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
