Recommended Posts

OKay those of you who asked for it, here it is. Sign up here and let me know what challenge you are most interested in. I think the two options that were being most looked at were an exercise challenge or a protien challenge. Join up here and give me your preference on challenge type.

Hi Babygirl!

We started an exercise challenge last fall. I joined in walking, and within three weeks was able to run a bit. By November, I ran in a 5K!!!

Our exercise group has truly helped us to change our lives, AND we have become good friends. On some months we have varied the challenge to include Water or Protein intake. Good luck to all of you!!!

(We are the April 2006 Bandits)

I'm with the exercise challenge too! Although I'm restricted to walking for another 2 weeks due to the hernia repair. How do these challenges work?

Okay well since most everyone is interested in exercise let's go with that. How does thirty minutes a day sound? How many days per week do you guys want to shoot for? Personally I want to go with 5 but I do not want to stress anybody out with too much! Let's get some votes in on how long and how many days per week. I figure the exercising can be anything you feel comfortable with whther it be swimming, biking, walking, Curves, whatever.

Count me in, too, for whatever the final challenge looks like! I'm in need of some major proding on the 3 big fronts: Protien(70g min), Water(64oz) & Exercise(6 days-ugh)! I'm doing fine with food, but then I've always been good -very good- at sticking to a "diet" for about 3 months. It's this whole "lifestyle change" thing that's a problem! Heh!

Ok, I'm in for the exercise and Water challenge.... I'll be going for 30 minutes EVERY day, even if it's just walking for 15 minutes on the treadmill twice a day... I just got my first fill today, and I'm SO ready to get back to losing....

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
