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.

Babygrl1234 (Stacy)- Exercise

Well, it never ends!! I woke up with pink eye this morning. Still in my gown, coughing my head off and squinting............arghhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

I just wanted to exercise, drink water and get skinny!!!!!

What next???

Aww teacher. I'm so sorry you are feeling so bad.

Everybody's getting sick! Ahhhhhh!

Feel better soon, y'all! :hug:

We need to quarantine this thread! I don't want that crud! Feel better, you two!

Finally feeling better today....how about you babygrl???

I'm still coughing my head off, but at least I can breathe again!

I am waaay better today. I made it to work and I feel really good. I spent most of the weekend sleeping which helped. Unfortunatly I seemed to have passed it on to all my cowrkers as they are all getting sick. Oops. I am glad to hear that you are feeling better.

SO how is everyone doing?

I'm walking my butt off, and drinking so much water that I can hardly make it back from my walk without having to walk funny, 'cause I have to pee!!! I've been walking (very briskly) for 15 minutes on my morning break, at least 15 minutes on my lunch hour, and another 15 minutes on my afternoon break. Every weekday, anyway. I'm really bad about posting on this thread, but I'm still hanging in there for the challenge!

I was wondering if you swing your arms as you walk? My Physical Therapist just told me the other day that when you swing your arms as you walk you will burn three times the calories compared to walking alone .They have me use a machine that is named nustep it is a cross training machine and you use arms and legs together. I was amazed to know that about using your arms and legs together to burn three times as much.

I sure do! Admittedly, sometimes with less enthusiasm than other times, but yeah, always swinging the arms!

Finally feeling like myself again!! Hoping to start working out at the gym again soon. I've only had one fill so far...not having trouble with the amounts, but those bad habits of bad food sure do haunt me!!

Feb 2007 Bandsters - April Challenge

Water: 10 of 20 days of 64+ ounces

Exercise: 7 of 20 thirty minute sessions

Found out I have an 11cc band and he put in 4cc...can feel a difference...we'll see..so far so good.....

<p>Okay – this thread has been quiet lately. Perhaps, in the silence, I’m just projecting my case of the blahs onto the rest of you, but I have to ask… Is it just me, or has anybody else fallen off the wagon?</p> <p> </p> <p>I’ve slacked on my Water sooo much, and have not been on the treadmill in almost a week! <img src="http://www.LapBandTalk.com/images/smilies/eek.gif" border="0" alt="" title="EEK!" smilieid="10" class="inlineimg" /> Egad! I’m eating fine (though I am hungry between meals, which is a 1st since my banding), but that’s about all I’m doing right.</p> <p> </p> <p>I need to get my tuchus back in gear again…but…well…….. The Pod Person I’d really come to like has vanished, and good ol’ lazy Suzanne is back. <img src="http://www.LapBandTalk.com/images/smilies/bored.gif" border="0" alt="" title="bored" smilieid="36" class="inlineimg" /> I have no motivation, no drive, no energy… I am sure this has to do directly with having stopped the very things I can’t seem to start again: water & exercise.</p> <p> </p> <p>I’m trying to pump myself up for the April challenge once more, but I just can’t seem to do it! <img src="http://www.LapBandTalk.com/images/smilies/straight.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Straight" smilieid="14" class="inlineimg" /> Not even attending (our good & very informative) local support group meeting helped, so I thought I’d check in with the rest of y’all. Maybe this bit of a whine… er, I mean…um… confession will prove cathartic!</p>

Well, the month of April has officially come to an end.

Time to check in...

How did everybody do?

Blah I started off the mont well but halted to a stop right around my birthday lol. I want a rematch in the month of may.

I am down 5 pounds. And I am starting the May thread right now.
