Walked 7.2 miles yesterday. Down almost 70 pounds.



Recommended Posts

I have been walking everyday for the past 3 weeks. I have the pedometer + app on the iPhone. Its been a constant push to beat my last score ( I consider it a game). Yesterday I decided after work I would walk to my brothers for the first time. He lives 1.3 miles away. I walked there and then decided ok I can easily walk back. Once I got home I decided to keep going. At a certain point a realized I was approaching a 10K and then kept going.

These last 4.5 months have been an adventure. Honestly I am having the time of my life. Still have plenty of weight to lose but am completely determined. Its no longer about the weight but about getting in the best shape possible.

Have a great weekend everyone!!!!

Wow, 7.2 miles is awesome! I'm up the 3.5 miles on treadmill at the gym for the 60 minute dally routine.... I used to walk three miles through the woods with my old lab. Too many ticks and the paths aren't maintained these days.

Keep it up. I've always felt walking was the best exercise and something that everyone can do. I lost a lot of weight several years by just walking, but it always came back. The band made the difference.

Keep it up!

      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.
