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!

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
