Non-exerciser has to share this

I couldn't go to a gym without being heavily medicated. Too fat, no cute clothes, I sweat, too far, no time, no gas in the car, no tolerance for skinny cute girls.

Do what I did. Do it one time. Try to go 10 minutes at a leisurely pace. If you're really dying after 10 minutes stop, pat yourself on the back for a fine 10 minutes and vow to do 12 minutes the next day. Then do it.

Or, like Carlene, just put on some sneakers, walk out the front door and keep going.

All I know is once I vowed to TRY a little each day, the scale started moving and my waistbands started getting looser.

Coincidence?

I'm really proud of you. Do you sweat yet? I love to feel myself break into a full out sweat. It's so.... satisfying.

Keep up the good work!

Nathalie,

you are a sick sick girl ... :welldone2:

i am just experiencing the sweating again ... it was there quite a bit when i first started, but now i have to really work hard on the treadmill (more than 25 mins and a pretty big incline) to start sweating ...

until today ... i made friends with Ed (elliptical) ... 5 minutes on that and it looked like it was raining outside. so i went to the treadmill for 21 mins then back on the elliptical ... i could almost wring my clothes out at the end.

      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.
