A friend of mine tried to get me to do it! Google it and u will find some videos. Giant party atmosphere- u get horny (a la Viking hat) and a free beer when ur done. It's a 5k with obstacles- jumping over fire, climbing over a wall, mud pit... The obstacles vary per location.

There was a wall (straight up verticle) that you could climb or use the rope. I tried both and it was really difficult due to all of the muddy competitors that had been there before me. The mud made it insanely wet and slippery. But maybe others were fine with it, especially the ones who ran earlier in the day while the wall/rope was dry. :P

Isn't that wall supposed to bring the competitors together? They help each other in the videos and say stuff like, "We were strangers and competing against each other but we helped each other over the wall, we became family... blah blah blah"

Yeah, when some got to the top, they straddled it and gave a hand to their friend (or stranger) below. Some still couldn't get over it even with help. I saw a few people just run around it and keep going. :P But I think they should at least try getting over the wall and not just give up before they start....but that's just me I guess.

I'm looking at doing this also, the next time it comes to Houston. Can't wait to try it! Gotta get working on my upper body.

A few guys at my job did it on Sunday and they are still not back at work. I'd wait like a year after surgery before trying it.

I think you'll love it! I thought it was very fun and for someone that doesn't like to run like me, that's saying something. Just maybe wear stuff that you are ok with ruining. Most of my clothes washed up pretty well, but it will be wet and muddy. I made sure of it by doing a head first slide (like in baseball) across the finish line. :)

I did warrior dash this weekend in NorCal.

It was a freakin BLAST! Hands down the funnest 5K I've ever done- worth the $65 entry fee.

I HIGHLY reccomend it if you are into fun, crazy costumes and having a fun workout. I had no problem with the obstacles and the ones that were "hard" you could take your time and some peeps helped. If you really couldn't do it, you could just go around.

Prepare for mud, mud and mud and tie your shoes really TIGHT!

P.s. the attached pic- the t-shirt WAS white and the leggings were light grey- lol!

        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.

      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
