Ok. I'm late, which you will learn is very normal for me. But I'm in. I'm going to strive for 100, today I worked out with my trainer for a solid

50 min but didn't have a pedometer on. So I'll get out and walk.

Right now I'm home cleaning all of my clothes out of my closet and waiting for Comcast to fix my football channels. (sorry that's totally off topic and could turn this amazing thread very negative).

I'm Carolyn, I live in the North Denver suburbs. It's snowing a little today, but we have a few months of good riding in Oct and Nov, so I'll be out on my new bike. I have Plantar Fascitis that I thought would resolve after surgery, but it's still troublesome.

I work in Austin and it's getting cool enough there to get outside and walk.

Great thread and I'm thrilled to find such an upbeat and supportive topic!

Butter, hope you heal up quickly. I'm glad your wife is participating. Getting the family healthy is an amazing biproduct of having surgery.

Well I had initially said I would sit at the table marked P for wussy but I don't think anyone else found it as funny as I did :P Skin of my teeth baby!

You, Meliss000 and I are all in Colorado. What do you mean your work in Austin? As in Austin, TX? You "commute" from Denver to Austin?

Welcome to the challenge, yeah that snow was a tad early for my taste, but meh, with the way our weather has been I wasn't too surprised by it. Maybe it will freeze some of the mud. ;)

I did 5 miles before work this morning, which I think brings me to 18 for the month.

I'm 2.4 weeks sleeved, and have done 12 blocks at a time around my neighborhood. I've had some problems with weakness but I'm in, although late and not sure i can hit 100 I will try :) Needing to keep motivated, my 1 yr goal is a half marathon, my short term is a 2 mile fun run on Thanksgiving.

Most people call me Phay or Phae, short for my name Phaedra.

      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.
