I know how you feel Laura-ven I got a road bike last weekend but threw my back out before I could ride it ( other than a test ride ) so I can only stare at it. I go back Monday to see if I can be released to ride again....can't wait :D

Hope you get cleared! Nothing like having a new toy and not being able to use it..

New bikes are exciting. Get a good pair of riding shorts to go along with your new ride

I keep adding things to my bike. Next year I plan on getting custom wheels.

Hey folks. Did my fastest ever 10k this morning... 63 minutes. Plus I ran an additional 2.5 miles back and forth to the car.... That's how far away I had to park.

So day 23 is 8.7 miles.... Which is 102 total. Thrilled to have made my goal with a week to keep adding to it.

Thanks to all of y'all that joined in and inspired me. Keep pushing. We are all gonna make it.

Great job! Love the photo the medal, everything.

I'm starting a new weight-lifting class next week ...2x a week 1 hour each session, called "women and weights" and my plan is to go directly from WAW (from 10am-11am) to spin (11am-12noon) Anyway, that is the plan but we shall see, my cardio might suffer by me doing more weights (noooooooo! ==clings to cardio==)

Anyway, great job BTB for not only reaching your goal but obviously you are going to surpass it. YAY!

Another 5 on the elliptical last night, just finished 5 on the track this morning. I'll do another 5 tonight on the elliptical, so that'll put me at 69 miles, with 31 to go.

You guys are doing great today. I'm a little sore from all that bridge climbing h yesterday but I woke up to clear skies and what feels like the first break from summer heat we've had all year... So I couldn't pass up the opportunity for a trail run with the dogs. We did 5.5 easy miles for a total of 107.5.

What could she possibly criticize you for?!? But if she does, maybe you can get in a few miles by running away from HER!

That is really great to get into the strength training next week. I known once you start seeing the many benefits from lifting from lost inches to improved endurance / stamina / power (your spin will get easier) to improved bone density to improved weight management (easier to eat more or just some treats without being punished), you will love it. Trust me on that one. I was a non believer in weight training until earlier this year and loved my cardio. Now the tables have turned, but I still manage to do the cardio, just in a more intense manner. Let us know what you think about the lifting after the first week. I am sure you will feel it. <evil grin> cheers! :)

        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!

      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
