You might be surprised in the next couple of weeks how your body responds. I say stick with both.

I'm sticking with both, Butter. Chugging along! I hope I start to see some changes in myself. Specifically, I'd like my butt to be in the general area in which it should be!

What is the squatober challenge? I'm intrigued..is it 200 squats/day? I need to do something like that!

My trainer put me up to it; someone started a page on Facebook called 'Squatober', and

The challenge is:

4,000 Squats (Beginner) (~130 Squats/Day)

7,000 Squats (Intermediate) (~225 Squats/Day)

10,000 Squats (Advanced) (~323 Squats/Day)

I'm aiming for 100 per day; so far, so good! Check it out, I think anyone can join.

My stats:

Today - 2.2 miles, 105 squats

Total to date: 4.6 miles, 305 squats

This comment might be in way left field but I need to ask... do any of you use compression garments for stomach arms or legs? Like the runners sleeves or runner compression pants...spanks anything.... do they help?

I use something called Flexees ...it's a tank and I wear one every single day (and for workouts also.) They really do help keep everything tight and in place, except for I'm larger chested. No matter how tight my exercise bra is I'm still just not a fan of jumping jacks. <_<

Awesome job on the squats. I don't keep track of mine (maybe I should?) but I've done enough this week to feel the burn during and the pain after! :P

Great job, keep it up!

Current numbers: 35.8 (collectively from spin, treadmill, stairclimber, and running around the gym track.) My next big plan is to take it easy this weekend...

Hi all! I love reading everyone's progress...even if I don't comment on everyone's posts, please know that I'm reading and smiling at everyone's awesomeness! So..yesterday I got in only a 2 mile walk. This brings my total to: 14.13 miles. I have walked 6.3 miles in 3 days. The rest has been on my bike. I wish I could do more walking and running (can't run for my life!) but I simply don't have the time to do this challenge by just walking. I love my bike for this reason. Plus, I can really ramp up my intensity on my bike. But, now that the weekend is upon us, I plan on doing a fairly intense hike (for me)...the hike has a 314 ft gain from the lowest point. I start at 280 ft and max at 544 ft. I love this workout! I hope the weather holds up....good luck to everyone! Let's get the most out of our weekend workouts!

      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.
