I've done a looooong slow run on the treadmill this morning - I had two lectures to listen to that were podcast and I decided to walk and listen to them, but walking got too boring, lol. So a very slow easy run, but I covered 7kms - YAY, I'm trying to build up to 8 to do a fun run in september. Man, it feels SO good to see that you've burned 750 calories!

I'm not even tired, before I even got on the treadie I'd hung out two loads of bed linen I washed and vacuumed and mopped the kitchen and family room floor, not to mention all the making of lunches and breakfasts and dropping the kidlets to school

I'm making a concerted effort to spend less time on the computer and burn more calories by doing more around the house, its a pigsty and incidental exercise is a big determiner of how fat or thin you are. Gonna wash some windows later this arvo.

Niche,

Good idea on yoga. I want to do a yoga class someday. I've never done one before, only DVD's. I hear that the stars do yoga to elongate their abdomen. That would be a great thing.

I've just been to the gym - a change is as good as a holiday. Having a treadmill at home has made ALL the difference to exercising regularly but its nice to have a change of environment. I did a 4km run on their treadmill chatting to the girl next to me, the time flew.

Then I went into the new circuit room - one of those ones with the flashing light and the hydraulic equipment and did a solid 30 minutes in there. It was great, I think I'm going to go back to being a regular at the gym - I wont cancel my membership afterall.

I love circuit, I find lifting weights pretty boring and mundane, and it makes it fun. I guess you're stuck with a high repetitions low weight routine though.

200 laps around my house chasing kids! Had someone working on my house all day and very frustrated that I couldn't make it to the gym. Had 3 hour practice for club team (we leave for Nationals on Saturday) in 110 degrees weather. Hopefully I sweated off some calories! Tomorrow I will be in Hollywood all day, dancing and walking. Plan on hitting the gym about 9pm tomorrow night when I get back to town! Let's see if I stick to that!!

Has anyone tried the Cardio chair by Body by Jake? My mom gave me one and..DAMN its like running...but your sitting down!! It is a real work out...I didnt belive it would be...but it had become my favorite machine to work out on. I also just got the Core Secrets program..ya know..the big ball you work out with? I love it...its different..and I can tell the difference already!

Im still not weighing in..I just cant do it..I know what will happen..and I will get pissy if I havent lost. I go to the DR again on Aug 14th for a second fill ( since the first one didnt do a thing!) and I will report the weight loss..or gain ( NO FREAKIN WAY!) then.

Thanks! Everyone!

great dame, i hear you on the no scale thing. it ends up being a de-motivator for me when i lose cuz then i feel like i can eat and eat. but when i realize that i haven't lost, i feel super motivated (like right now). so i guess i just have to use the scale sparingly. i've been eating well for 2 weeks, but i don't want to get on a scale b/c i'm afraid i'll regress. so i'm staying off of the scale... for now.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
