Hey Margaret,

Since you were so good at keeping our calendar, any suggestions on the tracking of our challenge??? Do we just do individual tickers or should we try to get fancy?

I did consider a chart of sorts, but at the moment, I can't even update our May Calendar as there is some sort of problem with posting the calendar grid! So, a created chart of some sort may not even work right now.

I think that tracking individually is probably easiest. You might notice that I've added an Exercise Ticker to my signature. That's the way I plan to track my progress.

Thanks so much for kick-starting us with the Challenge. I've done some walking, but needed some sort of motivation to do that and bicycling on a regular basis. Guilt at not seeing my little runner move will really be a help!

I'm very excited, count me in, too. This is just what I need to get my but in gear. I received the dvd I ordered, hip hop abs, and tried it the other night. I think my goal will be to try to do that every night.

iPOD???

Okay, this is not directly related to the challenge but kind of...

I have an mp3 player but have been thinking of getting an iPod. I get SO BORED at the gym when I go alone. I cant decide if I should get the iPod video or the smaller iPod Nano. My friend loves her video iPod but I am still on the fence. I would love to hear from those of you with these or have researched these already!

I am so with you, I also have ticker envy. I don't know what I am doing

wrong, but there you have it. Perhaps eventually it will work for me.

Let me know if you figure it out metalband, maybe you could share?

I'll keep plugging away and see what happens too.

First day of July...first notch on the challenge completed! I wasn't sure about all that Water, but it went down good! And the exercise felt good too! If I add a Crystal Light To-Go packet into a bottle of water, does that still count as water? Hope you all are having a wonderful Sunday afternoon!

Hi Metalband. Just read your note but I see you already did it. Way to go! I just kept playing with it and eventually it worked. Now I can't get it to update. Oh well, I'll keep trying!

One day done, 19 to go. I like this challenge!

      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.
