T, my goal is just to have a loss. I dont care how much , I will take any amount! For the month of June, I would like to come as close as possible to my original goal for the month, which was to be at 230 by the end of June. Last week I weighed in at 248.5, so thats 18.5 lbs. Thats asking alot, so I will just work really hard and what ever I make it to, I will be happy with! :clap2: :clap2:

Who is up to going to the PG Comm College Pool on Friday after work? :)

Come on your guys I think it is $3. I use to go on Friday because there would barely be anyone there. They also have a jacuzzi.

Okay, I bought the coolest thing at the gym on Friday. I initially went in for a metabolism test. What I REALLY wanted was just to know how many calories I was burning while doing what I normally do at the gym. Anyhow, after a series of tests, my trainer told me about this thing called a BodyBugg. It's something you wear on your arm (looks like an mp3 player) and it will tell you EXACTLY how many calories you are burning each minute. It's 98% accurate. So I know now that I burn 650 calories when I do 50 minutes of Turbo Jam, and I burn 400 calories when I do 25 minutes of High Intensity Interval Training and I burn a WHOLE lot more more calories for the time afterwards with that than when I do steady state for a longer period of time. I'm finding that what the experts have said is true: You burn more calories in a 4-hour span with 20 minutes of high intensity training than you do with 45 minutes of a moderate workout.

Anyhow, I think this will be useful in determining how beneficial weight training is and also how much my metabolism has lowered since losing weight. About 50 pounds ago I had my Resting Metabolic Rate tested. This AM I did the same test, only to find that I'm burning 235 fewer calories now each day than I was 50 pounds ago. I can see how this is going to be a very motivating tool. I'll be able to actually see how the little things like taking the stairs add up. And I love numbers so I'm sure I'll be crunching them and figuring out how many flights I have to climb to burn an extra pound every month.

Anyhow, this little tool is pretty cool and you upload from the BodyBugg wirelessly, so you don't even have to take it off. The application for it is on the Internet and it has MANY useful tools, too. It'll even suggest a workout plan for ME to help me accomplish my weight loss goals (based off the food intake that I log).

This week:

M: 40 minutes ARc trainer & treadmill

T: 4 hours walking around theme park

W: 30 minutes HIIT Arc Trainer

Th: 20 minutes HIIT Arc Trainer, 15 minutes steady state treadmill

F: V02 Test at Gym for 1 hour

S: 20 minutes HIIT, 50 minutes Turbo Jam Cardio Party

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?
