Thank you so much Proudmom. At least if I PUT IT OUT HERE, then I will HAVE to do it. LOL :P

And thanks for the well-wishes. She was feeling horrid yesterday. Was diagnosed with a sinus infection at a clinic on Sun. but by 7pm yesterday her fever hit 104.6...NOT GOOD. So we went back, and she tested positive for Influenza A. :(

No miles today, but I did get a 45 s plank done.

What type of exercise is the plank?

I'm just joining the group so I will do 30 min a day on stationary bike and 30 min of treadmill a day and 30 min walking outside. Haven't been exercising at all. Need this motivation especially this time of year. I will check back later. Good luck to all of us!

Welcome, Donna! Good for you on getting active! The plank is a static exercise that works the core. It looks ridiculously simple and is actually one of the harder ones to do. It takes time to build up endurance on this one. Here is a link:

Question...how often and what content are we supposed to post for accountability?

My workout plan doesn't change until the next month rolls around and I would hate to bore everyone! :)

Feel free to post everyday. We are posting to hold ourselves accountable. And to demonstrate that goal setting is a process that makes our desires more achievable when we take small steady bites.

You're teasing me now. I didn't sign up for this abuse. :)

Bwahahahaha! That's my evil plan!!!! Actually shoveling in the buff would be very unpleasant. Might freeze off something sensitive! ;-p.

3 miles today (my longest treadmill workout post-op). My total for the month is 20 miles to a 50 mile goal.

No nekkid planking for me...the world was spared another day.

In the past 5 days, I have logged equal amounts of exercise time and snow shoveling time! Sheesh!

I'm really struggling to get back into this. I had almost a week where I really didn't have the time or opportunity to do much of anything. Then I had a day or two where I was sore and tired. Today however, I really need to get back it and I just can't seem to make myself do it. I haven't planked, crunched, nothing. Having to fight with myself. Hate that.

Hang in there GG. Remember doing SOMETHING is better than nothing. You don't have to run a marathon or be in the Olympics...just go for a simple walk. Clear the brain cobwebs and you will feel better, I promise!

I did manage to workout today even though I wasn't able to go to the gym. I did 3 miles on the treadmill, planked (wow, thank you my fellow plankers for the inspiration!) and did some weight lifting.

I think my little sick kiddo MUST be feeling better because she slept until noon and then was a bit sassy with me. Ah, there's my girl...back to being a bit sassy instead of lethargic on the couch! I'm starting to think that the $230 I paid for Tamiflu (with insurance!) might have been worth it. <_<

      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!!

      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...

      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
