Does anyone else have the Nike+ ipod that they use? I started using this in feburary and it's great. you can create running clubs and it tracks all you progress for you in miles, time and even calories! My nike plus id is WBIV and it's attached to email brownw01@hotmail.com . so if anyone else has it, let me know and we can start a lapband running club to track all of our progress!

Funny - i was literally just coming on the fitness and exercise forum to post a thread asking if anyone had any experience with using this item?

Do you use the nike + shoes or a pouch with others? I'm going to try it with a pouch first - nike shoes don't usually fit me right.

I'm a walker though - not much running but am training to walk a marathon this fall so tracking will be helpful.

kcmagu- what do mean by using a pouch? I bought a pair of Nike shoes so I could use the Nike + Ipod. However, I don't really care for them. There's a way to use the system without the shoes?

KC~ Love my Nike+! I use it in my Nike's and I also use a pouch on my trail shoes, since they are Mizunos.

I have not had any problems with the pouch that I bought. It is secure on my shoes, does not move around and the sensor is also secure inside.

I think it would be fun to start a group and get some challenges up and going again. We were doing some in the C25K, but it has been pretty quiet there since summer began.

Did you start a group yet? I have not done anything like that before, but I would love to join in - it is great motivation! My Nike id is: krtork.

I should have posted over here. I was looking for a thread for the Nike+ system. I got a pouch from BestBuy because I couldnt find the Nike+ shoes that fit properly (and I really didnt want to put out that much money in the beginning).

As soon as I get set up, I will post my ID. How is everyone liking their system?

I use Nike + and love it. I came on the forum to see if anyone wanted to join a challenge. If one hasn't been started yet I could create one. Also, is anyone running the Nike human race. I will be participating in the race at USC.

Also, the pouch is good to start with but not as accurate as having the sensor in your shoe. I've heard a lot of people run 5 and 10ks and after the run their ipod shows a different distance.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
