Any One Up For an Exercise Challenge?



Recommended Posts

Marie, OMG! I took a zero on an oral report from my favorite teacher! I worked really hard on my shyness "problem" after that, but losing this weight has been a real boon. I feel better about myself now than I felt when I weighed the same for several years -- of course, that was going up the scale and now I am going down. :)

Thank you for the kind words (and the generous offer of the bat-wing gift, Betty :laugh.) I really needed that today. GULP...I did my official weigh-in (for my records) today and I lost nothing, due to gaining a pound or two since Monday...I'm sure it is "water weight" and not the halloween candy I ate. :straight

Well, buckle up and back on track. And I agree, Betty deserves the Best Bandster of the Week award. :)

It's amazing what a little hope can do for us! Losing weight has helped us focus on other things and get on with living life. Congratulations to all of us "Bunch of Losers"!

Thanks again Becky! You made me smile again!

Walked about 40 minutes at the store today.

I was planning on getting on the treadmill to, but had company when I got home.

I met the excersize challenge for the week. Walked around the park and did an extra lap to make up for bad eating. I'm going to start a new junk food trend now, since I've been overindulging so I'm not losing.

I figured working out with the kids at my part time job is a way to keep exercising and not feel guilty if I don't go to the gym. I have a lot of workout tapes plus membership to a gym. Today when I get home I will also do walk away the pounds. Do you all think I am over doing it with the situps nd jumping jacks seeing that I'm in my 4th week post-op. I don't hurt and I only do 10-20 of each and 1 rep. But I know the running is good my legs are sore from the stretching.

I did 25 minutes on the treadmill yesterday, went shopping and did a lot of walking, cleaned house.

I did 25 minutes on the treadmill today, did some laundry, and sat on my butt!

My exercise yesterday -- dancing! My husband is happy that I will at least consider dancing again. :) Had a fun time at 2 parties, one a dance, one not. I didn't do too bad with the eating, although I don't expect a loss this week. One more day for this candy-laden holiday!

Holy smoke am I beat up! I rode my motorcycle in the mad wind today for hours and hours on the highway, then played tackle football (well, I went shopping at Sam's, Walmart, and Petco, which is actually worse than football.) I know I burned a zillion calories cuz my feet are killing me and my hands are shaking and my my muscles are exhausted. And I'm just sitting down for a couple minutes, because company is on the way. I have to do all my floors right now, then I promised the neighbor kids to go trick or treating. I'm gonna fall over! So I earned the candy that I ate and will most likely eat later! I'm a liar and I'm trying to justify screwing up the junk food challenge again.

I don't love this thread. It reminds me of what all I could/should be doing. I was happy with my ostrich theory. I've had my head in the sand so long my body dos'nt want to exercise BUT I did manage to walk on the TM for 20 min. yesterday AND did a lot of walking with the kids for Halloween so I feel better already!

      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. 🤞
