One-on-one holiday exercise challenge, anyone?



Recommended Posts

Lets work on this one as a free-be no money involved. (just my suggestion but will go with majority rules) Lots of folks here are cash pay customers for the surgery and they need the $50.00. One thing I am comfotable with is knowing how you here are all fantastic people I know the winner would have won the honest way. But you have to understand some of us (probably only me really) will go to any means (leagally) to win money. LOL Was thinking like just before the end when everyone is down 30-40 pounds and there are just a few pounds seperating us I would post a picture of me in a pair of thong speedo's. LOL by the time you all recouperate and get out of hospital from the heart trama or pyscialogical damage I will have passed you all up. lol

I'll pass on the $50.00 bet, I just had surgery and I still have to pay for it! If y'all want to do the money thing, count me out, I'll sit back and be a cheer leader too!

Greg - You can still post that picture though! :laugh

Okay...no money and no porn. I just can't wait to get started! Oh yeah, I'm supposed to be exercising anyway. :guess I see my doctor Friday and will be able to tell him I have started a regular program now. ;)

Oh, Greg, how's the legs?

I agree, no money required -- but, Greg, go ahead and post that Speedo picture!

OK, everyone, get ready for Monday.

I'm willing to pay $50.00 to see Greg in a Speedo. And I'm a self pay (aka credit card) of TWO surgeries and still need a third!

I would love to join in. I will be travelling around a bit and moving on top of that over the silly season so I may not be able to sign in EVERY week, would anyone mind?

And as far as challenges go, here is a site that I am also involved in where challenges are set much like this, but the moderator makes a separate area for challenge discussions so the threads don't get out of hand. You guys can check it out for ideas...http://www.slimmingforlife.com.au/

Look out, Penni's headed our way. . . and Jodie, please join in. We're not sticklers for form here, so just let us know how you're doing with the challenge whenever you get a chance. You have an advantage over us Yanks: no Thanksgiving food orgies next week! I'll check your suggested web site to try to keep the thread manageable. Thanks.

(Just came back from a 1.5-hr. walk in the park on my day off. I only planned to walk 45 minutes, but the dog went nuts chasing squirrels and wouldn't come back when I was ready to leave. She's had an exercise energy boost too!)

Here's a summary, as far as I understand it. Greg and Becky, you may have different ideas. Anyone interested will weigh in on Monday, Nov. 22, & send a PM to Greg. Then we just start exercising like fiends. Check in on the thread on Mondays if you can & report your exercise for the last week. The challenge runs through Monday, Jan. 3, when we'll report our final weights, and also tell how we're feeling and any NSVs (inches lost, muscle gained, blood pressure down, construction workers whistling, etc.). I don't know if the winner should be chosen based on most exercise, most weight lost, or best description of Greg in his thong Speedo; I leave that up to wiser heads.

That's too much work for me, but I'll exercise for the sake of the challenge since we all get to see Greg in a Speedo. That's how I interprested this thread. When will he be posting it? (Funny how quiet he got.)

      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.
