Hey Gang....I got a new pair of Nike Shox...so no more excuses!!!! I'm going to try for every other day on the treadmill....that's 15 days @ 30 minutes for 450 minutes total. I'm really impressed with Suzzie and MM!

Toni --- 450 Minutes for September!

I want to be in this challenge but I have not completed July or August Challenge. Hunter is starting school on Wednesday and I am hoping that with only having Spencer at home I will have to time to exercise or at least take a walk. I am going to sign up for this challenge at 540 minutes. I will try to walk 3 times a week for at least 30 minutes either inside on the threadmill or put Spencer in the carriage and walk outside if it is nice out.

I've decided I need my weekends off, so my goal is going to be two hours a day, Mondy thru Friday. That about covers my bike ride every morning after I drop my son off at school. My goal is 2400. I HAVE to get to ONE-derland soon, and I want to be down to at least 175 for vacation at the beginning of November.

I am going to take it down a little form last month because on the 6th I got to go down to panama for 21 days for work and I don't know how much time I will have to excercise. I am going to try 60 mins a day 7 days a week. so I guess thats going to be 1800 mins total. Good luck everyone.

I was testing different gear combinations today on my ride, and have picked up my pace, so I need to change my goal to 2000 minutes. That's 100 minutes a day, Monday thru Friday. This is the minimum I will do.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Monthly Total = 100 Minutes

Monthly Total = 220 Minutes

60 minutes elliptical

60 minutes recumbent bike (hill trainer program)

(It's raining, so no trail ride today. :))

I went to a bike shop yesterday. The manager was so nice, had me bring my bike in and he set it up properly for me. Seat height and angle, handlebar height and angle, brake lever location. They actually measure the angle of your knee when you are in the saddle pedaling....I never knew it was so precise! I got some padded underlayers to go under my shorts, so hopefull my arse won't hurt so bad now! LOL And I was also having a problem with the circulation getting cut off in my hands after about eleven miles, so I got some gloves with gel pads in them. I was anxious to ride this morning to see if all this "junk" really helps, but it's raining and will be all week. Phooey!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
