Any One Up For an Exercise Challenge?



Recommended Posts

Marie, OMG! I took a zero on an oral report from my favorite teacher! I worked really hard on my shyness "problem" after that, but losing this weight has been a real boon. I feel better about myself now than I felt when I weighed the same for several years -- of course, that was going up the scale and now I am going down. :)

Thank you for the kind words (and the generous offer of the bat-wing gift, Betty :laugh.) I really needed that today. GULP...I did my official weigh-in (for my records) today and I lost nothing, due to gaining a pound or two since Monday...I'm sure it is "water weight" and not the halloween candy I ate. :straight

Well, buckle up and back on track. And I agree, Betty deserves the Best Bandster of the Week award. :)

It's amazing what a little hope can do for us! Losing weight has helped us focus on other things and get on with living life. Congratulations to all of us "Bunch of Losers"!

Thanks again Becky! You made me smile again!

Walked about 40 minutes at the store today.

I was planning on getting on the treadmill to, but had company when I got home.

I met the excersize challenge for the week. Walked around the park and did an extra lap to make up for bad eating. I'm going to start a new junk food trend now, since I've been overindulging so I'm not losing.

I figured working out with the kids at my part time job is a way to keep exercising and not feel guilty if I don't go to the gym. I have a lot of workout tapes plus membership to a gym. Today when I get home I will also do walk away the pounds. Do you all think I am over doing it with the situps nd jumping jacks seeing that I'm in my 4th week post-op. I don't hurt and I only do 10-20 of each and 1 rep. But I know the running is good my legs are sore from the stretching.

I did 25 minutes on the treadmill yesterday, went shopping and did a lot of walking, cleaned house.

I did 25 minutes on the treadmill today, did some laundry, and sat on my butt!

My exercise yesterday -- dancing! My husband is happy that I will at least consider dancing again. :) Had a fun time at 2 parties, one a dance, one not. I didn't do too bad with the eating, although I don't expect a loss this week. One more day for this candy-laden holiday!

Holy smoke am I beat up! I rode my motorcycle in the mad wind today for hours and hours on the highway, then played tackle football (well, I went shopping at Sam's, Walmart, and Petco, which is actually worse than football.) I know I burned a zillion calories cuz my feet are killing me and my hands are shaking and my my muscles are exhausted. And I'm just sitting down for a couple minutes, because company is on the way. I have to do all my floors right now, then I promised the neighbor kids to go trick or treating. I'm gonna fall over! So I earned the candy that I ate and will most likely eat later! I'm a liar and I'm trying to justify screwing up the junk food challenge again.

Wow! You ladies are doing great!!! I did a Curves work out Saturday and then walked about 10 blocks with the kids trick or treating. I ate way too much candy though-probably should exercise 2x today! I LOVE THIS THREAD!!!!

I don't love this thread. It reminds me of what all I could/should be doing. I was happy with my ostrich theory. I've had my head in the sand so long my body dos'nt want to exercise BUT I did manage to walk on the TM for 20 min. yesterday AND did a lot of walking with the kids for Halloween so I feel better already!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
