So What Is Your Resolution?



Recommended Posts

Hahahah, used to be i'd say "loose weight" well now its, get back into the gym at least 3 x per week. I totally have to do this cause I'm so out of shape. I did a stress test last week by treadmill and even though i completed 10 minutes of very strenous walking, I was huffing and puffing like an obese person again! Couldn't believe it! So it's off to the gym for me! How about you???

for me, surprise surprise surprise i want to lose my excess weight. i'm 4 days post op - and have't loss an ounce. so i'm very upset.

my other resolution is to walk more. i have been walking in the house back and forth, for about 5 minutes, then continue to walk some more every few minutes.

not going to gym yet - but this little walking is a startsmile.gif will do more exercise eventually, one day at a time.

i also would like to go and do some volunteer work at for example a hospital. i took an early retirement at 53, now i'm 58. don't go out of the house often cuz i'm ashamed of my appearance, so working on my weight will help my self esteem and confidence. Anyone else feel like that?

My first resolution is to achieve my goal weight by my 1 year anniversary of 2/22/12. My second resolution is to stay within a +/- 3 pound range of my goal weight for the rest of the year. My third resolution is to exercise more - 3 times per week.

No surprise here... but mine is to reach my surgeon's goal!! Any more lost will be a bonus. On top of that I want to maintain my fitness, if not improve it! =]

My first resolution is to work out more and do more strenuous excercises.

My second is to be open minded so I can "see" when I am headed dowm the wrong path and change directions.

My last one is to be happy about my weight loss regardless of how slow or fast it is occurring.

My resolution is to just stay right here where I am, physically and mentally. I'm quite satisfied with it all, and I'm hopeful for the same in the near future. In one year from now I will be a finished product as far as healing goes from my Plastics so I do have that to look forward to.

Set your actions in motion!!!

For me, it's to hit the gym and finally complete a triathlon. I'm 8 months post op and would like to reach my goal of 150lbs. I'm a very slow loser as i've only lost 58lbs in the 8 months. I hope to lose 42 by the end of 2012.

Start using my Kinect Fitness game 3 mornings a week and hit the weights at the gym afterwork to tone up.

I am really into kettlebells now. I'm using a 15 lb. kettlebell to do my daily workouts (I alternate low impact aerobics w/kettlebell exercises -- 30 minutes altogether, 1/2 is aerobics and 1/2 is kettlebell which combines aerobics with strength training). By February I want to be able to comfortably use a 20 lb. kettlebell (I have one and have tried it a time or two, but it really is a bit too much for me to handle w/o tweaking my lower back). I started out with a 10 lb. kettlebell in November so I am definitely making progress, and this is an achievable goal for me!

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
