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

      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! 😞
