Plumlove, Welcome to the challenge. I am not doing the PIYO but you still can be apart of the challenge. Just measure the miles you walk while doing it. You got this and you are going to be successful at it. On your lazy days just shot an email and helpfully someone here can encourage you to get up and do it.

Good morning team!

I hope everyone is doing well and feeling empowered. Thanks for this challenge. Ive just started doing the Beach body PIYO program and I do like. However, my natural tendency is to be lazy at exercise and never complete or be consistent. This weekend was a sad/emotional weekend and I found myself taking bites of cake and chips etc. Thank God for the sleeve… I was able to stop and no downward spiral. Id like to commit to doing PIYO 5-6 times per week. Anyone else out here doing PIYO????

Target: PIYO 5-6 times per week
CW: 207
GW: 187

My first question/concern is when did everyone start going to the gym...my surgeon said do it as long as it doesn't hurt but that was only at two weeks soooooooo...hmmmm

I was cleared for non-impact cardio a week after my surgery. So I joined the gym and just did the treadmill/ellipitical/bike until I was cleared for everything six weeks out. Then I started lifting weights and swimming as well.

Good morning Challengers! In an effort to hold myself accountable during this challenge, I decided I am going to post this morning. So, I am not a partier but this weekend I partied to much. So much so, that I am too tired to even think about the gym tonight. I went to a bachoretta party on Friday and got home at 3am and then I turned around and went to my cousin's party and got home at 4am Sunday morning. My body is tired this morning. I know for this challenge and for the fact that I start with my training tomorrow - I need to be at the gym doing my cardio tonight.

I went to the gym after all. 30 minutes on the stair master and 15 on the precor.

Today was my 1st day with a trainer. Man O' man was it hard... I absolutely sucked. I've paid for two weeks already so I'm going to see. And this was the basics.

Good afternoon friends! After 9 days of nothing, I lost 2 lbs. Yay! I have my 3 month post op visit this month (more like 3 months and three weeks actually). My goal is to be in the 240s for this visit. I'm now at 250 even. My post op is on the 19th. 242 is a stretch for that visit, but if I hit it, that will have me down 70lbs since my surgery and 93 from my all time high!

        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
