I'm seeing everyone posting these goals and I'm getting anxious. Can I still join even if I only think I can do 40 miles? Or do I need to sit at a kids table somewhere? The one labelled with a P for wussy?

I think the point is to just do what you can. I'm hesitant to set a goal because I can go a crazy number of miles on my little stationary bike. Just yesterday I pedaled for 42 miles, so I'm not going to set a goal here aside from moving every day.

Hey everyone! Great job on your totals for September and a huge thank you to Butterthebean for starting that post and challenging us all to challenge ourselves. We all wish BTB great success and a speedy recovery from his surgery. We know you will be watching and cheering us on. October is among us and with that comes a new challenge. 100 miles in 31 days! Walk, run, bike, whatever you do, log those miles and drink that water! Anyone who has been lurking in the shadows and watching last months challenge, now is your time to join us! It doesn't matter if you do 1 mile a day or 20, just go at your pace and have fun! For those of us who participated in last months challenge, I want to issue a personal challenge to add another 15 miles to what you did last month. After all, there is 1 more day in this month.

On a side note, this group has become very motivational for me as well as others. If you don't mind, let's let everyone know your real first name. If you would rather not and just want to go with your username that is perfectly fine. I will kick it off...my name is Ted. Good luck everyone and log those miles!!

Thank you, Ted for starting the thread. I will commit to 125 miles this month. I plan to log in at least once per week with my numbers. I'm planning on at least 32 miles per week. I love these challenges and it really helped make a difference for me this month. My name is Roxana and I'm so glad to have you all as an inspiration to me... I wish Butter a speedy recovery and can't wait to have him back in the challenge! Good luck everyone...we can do this!

Hey folks. I survived thanks to some really good drugs. They are working wonders at the moment.

Thanks for offering to do my miles but Mrs Butter wants to do them for me and I'll log her progress here.....if y'all are good with a non sleever participating.

Thanks for all the well wishes.

Glad you're doing well! Take care of yourself and I'm glad your wife is joining in the fun!

I'm glad those drugs are working out for you (ahem...if you have any extra...). I hope you have a speedy recovery and we hope to see you poking your nose in here often. :D

Ted...how did your wife's surgery go?

Sent from my iPhone using VST

Sorry it took so long to respond but everything went great! She has had very little pain and I just got home from the hospital where she was asleep like a cute little baby! There was a delay getting her into surgery for some reason so she didn't even go back til 11:30am. The Dr. was very happy with her surgery and her progress so far. I have no doubt she will be up and at it as soon as possible. Thanks for asking.

Ok I'm in - never thought I would do that. Not sure if I can manage 100 but will promise to do my best. I'm going on holiday 26th so it might be a short month. I will be using my elliptical.

No need to take a guess on the name -Cathy.

      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.
