Canadian Challange



Recommended Posts

Ya, I'm one of those people that there bodies react well to stuff. Like when I eat garbage I can gain really quickly. However, it works the other way too, so I'm hoping when I add the exercise in and really challenge myself it will pay off. Hey it's worth a try. My birthday is in September, and I really want to feel great, not that I don't already, I want to feel greater!!:Banane56:

my surgeon wanted me doing 30 mins every day starting during my pre-op, and starting the day after surgery, as much as I could till I got back up to 30 minutes again. Wellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll, I kinda haven't started yet:guess .

So I have a swimming pool and a treadmill. Im going to try to do 22, 30 minute walks on the treadmill, and swim just whenever I can, which isnt really hard considering where in this heatwave right now.:bananapartyhat:

You have a swimming pool? Oooh, I'm jealous. I'd swim if I didn't have to do it in public!

Kim, if you search google for "BMI calculator' you'll find lots of places where you can just type in your height and weight, and it'll tell you what you are. You said you were 5'9" and 320, I think... right? I'll check it out for you right now.........

47.3 is what I got for ya. I went here: http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/

I'm all for a good challenge. I've been terribly unmotivated lately...I need a kick in the pants.

Not interested in the aforementioned "sexercise" idea, though. I don't find it burns many calories to stare at the ceiling looking bored.;)

...but I guess, I couldn't reach the fridge...so maybe. LOL

Is anyone joining the Gone for Good Club this month? We are focusing on trying to get our BMI's down some. Love to see you there, too!

Have you decided what this challenge would be yet?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
