Dang you girls! I guess I'm in but I don't like it. :drool::laugh:

It's a meager offering, but a heckuva lot better than what I used to do!

I just got to join a really great fitness center through work for FREE, so I hit it twice this weekend, and plan to go at least 4 times a week-they have Water aerobics, plus all the treadmills and bikes I could ever imagine... plus dance classes that I can go to in 2 weeks, when I am cleared for more extreme exertion!!

Ouch Angie about the basement...but you are so right...no other exercise works better than to clean up a mess you didn't want to do in the first place...hope everything is ok and nothing was damaged.

Guess that clothes hanger (oops I mean treadmill:lol:) is going to get dusted off.

Has anyone been to Fitday.com? I signed up yesterday it lets you track your weight, your daily food journal, excercise, goals, etc. etc. Plus it's free. I'm a numbers person so it helps me to see my progress in nice little charts.

Excellent....

Megan I have visited fitday.com......I sort of like it..but I think I will stay with sparkpeople.com.

Today I got on the treadmill did 35:25 (1.67 miles I think). Was a bit in pain on some of the incisions today don't know why...so I took it a bit slow. But got 'er done!

I have not posted since my initial challenge goal.

My goal was 15 min 4x a week and that was Friday???I think. So here it is:

Friday 25 min

Saturday 45 min to and from the park (plus played with kids at park)

Sunday 1 hour of yard work

Monday nothing...well cleaned....does that count??

Tuesday 20 min walk

BTW when I walk I push a 20 lb stroller with 2 BIG babies in it (30 lbs each)

I feel GREAT !!! I am down 10.6 lbs since my initial consult and 7.4 lbs since surgery almost 2 weeks ago.

I can't wait to get into pilates, yoga and kickboxing!!

Lets keep it up victorious valentines!!!!

CAN"T FIGURE OUT THE TICKER THING!!!! I can create it but when I cut and paste the link it does not work....any ideas?

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
