That's great to hear. Sounds like everything is coming along nicely. Are you having to get up and ambulate every so often? If so, how far can you walk?

Can't you and I just blame it on being ....sigh....men? That's usually the reason right?

This just in....a new study correlates rapid weight loss and the lack of ghrelin with being a giant d*** bag. Who knew?

No tape yet. There's still too much swelling and throbbing... Don't get excited.

I lost a NY Yankees center fielder.

LV.... Barney did not like sleeping under the covers this morning. And he REALLY didn't like walking around in steel toe boots at work last night. And he f**king hated it when my dog stepped on him this morning when I got home.... In her attempt to greet me with her usual enthusiasm. I'd take off work but these next 3 nights are my last workdays till after I recover from surgery.... It wouldn't look good if I took them off.

Thanks for asking fiddle. He basically told me to give it 6 weeks. I told him I would, starting September 30th.... the day I have my TT. It will get plenty of rest then. This isn't my first broken toe. My only problem right now is getting my shoes on. I'm going to give it till Monday or Tuesday and see how it feels. Hopefully by then it will be bearable enough to finish out the month.

I do not miss....living in a "one size fits all" world...but that size doesn't fit me.

Holy smokes I think you're gonna make it. Keep it up.

Jeez I can't believe I posted a pic of my dirty foot.

Nope...went to the urgent care clinic....broken.

Terrific....you're definitely a runner. Great job..... Great job everyone. Uh BTW.....if you can avoid it....don't break a toe while trail running. It sucks...don't ask me how I know.

Alright...so the good news is....as of day 15 for me....72.1 miles total. The bad news....looks like I broke a toe today. Stubbed it on a small stump while trail running. It's not pretty. I can barely walk right now. Not sure how this is going to play out but I'll give it the weekend at least to rest and let the swelling go down. Then see how it is by monday. I'm not giving up...gonna make my goal no matter what. I've got crutches somewhere. But damn....I was on a good roll. Hang in there everyone. I'm thrilled with how many of you have jumped on board this crazy challenge. I thought it was just going to be me and LV. Thanks to all of y'all.

So one last hijack...I think I'm allowed right? You and I have very similar starting numbers...age...size...very similar. For me, even 64oz was no where near enough. I was having cramps and dizziness at 64oz. At 80-90 I started feeling much better. That was about 6 weeks out. Nowadays I shoot for 128oz and I usually get more. I work in the heat plus all of my exercise is outside so I sweat alot. But even if I wasn't, I just could not operate on 64oz. So...agree with everyone else...shoot for more if possible. What helped me was adding propel to my water...helped with the taste and gave me more sodium and potassium to prevent cramps and dizziness.

Terrific. My date is 9/30. How are you recovering? How's your pain and mobility?

They work on the main site.....but not on on the mobile apps. I have iPhone, iPad and an android device and they are all doing the same thing. After 2 or 3 PMs, I can't access the conversation anymore.

I don't know about that. My psych eval was pretty weak. He wanted to make sure I didnt have a severe eating disorder. But as far being prepared for what was coming....nothing he said scratched the surface. There are going to be issues. Some people deal with them just fine. But everyday there are posts here by people who are freaking out because they can't eat a cheeseburger or they're remorseful about having surgery at all because it's hard and they can't dull the emotional pain with a load of food. Not to mention the heaps of panic attacks posted everyday by people who aren't losing weight as fast as they should. I'm just saying that the psych eval doesn't mean much.

Damn did I say that with my out loud voice?

I wish.

You guys killed it yesterday. Nice job everybody.
