October 100 Mile Challange!



Recommended Posts

Have you guys thought of creating a beginner's thread with a 50 mile threshold? I don't know if it would be redundant or motivating? I can imagine a few people out there wouldn't want to sign up for 100 right away, but 50 is easier to contemplate for someone who hasn't been active for a long time.

Thoughts?

It's just for motivation anyway! I never thought I would seriously be able to do 100 miles last month. My average was about 1-2 miles a couple to three times a week!!!! So.....

I say, just join in - kick it into gear - and do what you can! Nobody on here cares if it's called "100 mile" challenge! We are all just doing what we can!

If you do 50, that's 50 you didn't do last month!

True! and besides, this is my new mantra these days.

I do love it . Except I don't know if it necessarily calculates my strides 100% because I'm so tall . It's nice because I have the app on my phone I can track food ' date=' fluids , my weight , set goals for myself . I don't want something where I'm going to have to document my life in it if you know what I mean.[/quote']

Yes, I do know what you mean... I log my diet and workouts thru mfp. I watched the video on fitbit and was so intrigued!

Exactly.....just set a goal and go for it. Doesn't matter how many miles it is.

Howdy and welcome. You don't need MFP for this. Just come to this thread and post your daily mileage. Keep your running total. Set your goal and go for it. We all root for each other.

Ok I've only got about 1 mile in to day but I caught somebody's stomach bug and have been sick of 2 days. But I got approved today so I'm so excited waiting for date to be set.

Just got home a little while ago. Feel fine as long as I don't move too much. Not sure how much of that is related to these pain meds but I'll take it. If this is as bad as it gets I'll be ok. Worst part is I'm already bored.

Damn....edited to say...thanks very much for asking.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
