OOooooooo

Are you ..stripping? Or are you just going to dance... or are you seducing? I can't tell which one you are incenuating.:guess

Julie, that's great girlie. Keep up the cardio and focus on the muscle groups. Really take your time with the weight training. Don't rush it. Feel each muscle working as you lift. Concentrate on those biceps :eek: I hope you show us one day some crazy Arnold Schwartzneggar pecs and biceps! LOL

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!

You go get em BPM!!!!:clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

*Stands over BPM and frowns* "Get up SOLDIER!!! NOW DO 100 MORE MILES!"

Yes Drill Sergeant!

(Picture Bill Murray in Stripes)

My goal is to be riding 100 miles a week within about 90 days.

I am riding on pavement now so my Mtn Bike isn't the greatest choice as the tires are set up for off road and have a lot of drag but that just means I am working that much harder.

:heh:

Yeah, that's awesome! That just means you would do 20 miles a day for 5 days. That's not bad! You'll hit goal in no time at that rate.

Greatdame,

You have a whole new fitness center in your home. That's great! You should start there. Also, to switch things up a bit, if you want to walk outside for a few miles then that would be a great change of pace. A bike works the same way. I started my weight loss with my bike. It's all in my journal.. (biking 6.5 miles, working up to 16.5miles, then 31.2 to 35 miles) Lost lots of weight doing it but you can lose just as much with exercise equipment.

What I personally like about the bike is that it is low impact and you can stay in "the zone" for a long time so you will be burning fat rather than muscle.

Plus it's great fun...at least once your in shape enough to enjoy it. :heh:

Whoohoo, this morning I ran 5km in 30 minutes! I'm training for an 8km fun run in September so I need to work on both speed and distance. That's my best performance to date.

Another 10 miles today. We (wife and I) rode the same route.

I did it much faster but it hurt more. My seat makes my entire crotch go numb and lose feeling. My butt is ok....it's the other that can't take it. My bike has a racing seat on it and it's very small and points upwards where it seems like it shouldn't.

I am going to try buying a new seat today and see how that goes.

Oh yeah...... :faint:

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
