I did 4 miles today , except my fitbit said I did 8.5 ( I added my activities on there and it calculated my steps to be 8.5 miles ) . I guess I should be good and only accept the 4 miles :) lol

Does driving to work with your bike on the back of your count as riding? I had good intentions to go tonight, but got out of work late.

I did walk 2 miles today.

I'm in! My name is Parker. For day one I walked 8 miles. I walked an even 200 miles last month (thanks to Georgia!), not sure I'll be able to top that, but I'm going to give it my best shot.

Butter so glad you're doing well.....woohoo to the missus.

Ted, glad your wife' surgery went well.

Wow! Lots of new faces! Glad to meet everyone. Here's to lots of miles this month!

1.3 miles today - not a great start, but at least I got off the couch! And I joined the Squatober challenge my trainer put me up to - 100 squats today. Add to that my 45 strength training workout & I'm feeling smiley :)

That's 3+ pounds since Sunday! I'll take it. maybe this exercise thing does work. :)

So excited! My trainer has decided to match my 100 miles!! She's awesome, this will totally help keep me going. And Laura-Ven inspired me to get a bike (for now I'm going to borrow one). I haven't ridden a bike in 33 years!!!

I'm starting to think I might actually be able to get to 100!!

So I started off Oct. with a bang, and did a double workout yesterday. I just started last week with a new fitness class called Women and Weights. I go to a gym regularly and take classes, at least 3 a week. But my own personal preference is cardio...I like the exercise high I get from it. But I was only doing a small amount of weights, so I decided to take a class gear towards weight lifting ...and liked the idea of women only. There are 7 of us in the class (so nice small group) and the instructor changes things up everyday.

So I Tues and Thurs I do 1 hour of weight lifting and then go directly to do an hour of spin. Now yesterday for weight lifting, she decided to warm us up by having us do cardio. I did a mix of the stairclimber (first time trying this machine and must say I'm not a fan...the moving stairs are a bit dizzying and the only way I could manage it was to make it super-fast otherwise my toes kept hitting the stairs as the unfolded from the machine...) and the treadmill. So I added those numbers into my total so far.

18.2 is my kickoff number!

I'm Chris,

The thread last month was a HUGE motivator for me too, so glad you started this up for October! I got started late in September so I didnt' get to 100, but 60 in 17 days I was happy with.

I got 5.2 miles in last night.

Good luck everyone!

4 miles yesterday, walking and sprinting. I have an injury with my hip that I am trying to resolve. It has seriously slowed down my workouts and it's driving me crazy!

      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.
