January Exercise Challenge



Recommended Posts

Hi there I thought I would start a thread for us February bandsters.

List you exercise goals for the month of January and update us daily or weekly.

I will start.....

My goal for January is to work out at the Y 2x a week.

Great idea! I need to get a little kick in the butt too. I have not done too well this month, so next month it is back on that wagon.

In January I propose I will do 1860 minutes of exercise. That equals one hour a day for all 31 days. If I miss a day, well then I have some make-up to do, haha!! No problem, I built my body up to handle that - so no excuses.

Good luck all!

I just joined LA Fitness and my goal is to workout M-W-F & 1 day over the weekend. My husband has joined with me and is a great motivator. So far, got 1 workout in-I'm about 3 behind, but hey it was a busy 4 days. I will get back on track this week. I usually like to do 2 miles on the treadmill & a rep of weights mostly focusing on my "thunder thighs"!

I'm definitely in for the exercise challenge!! I actually completed a marathon in October and haven't done a thing since!! I need to get back walking/trotting and REALLY want to go to Bikram yoga.....the kind where they heat up the room and sweat gallons. Total @ss kicker!! I'm one month away from surgery....so I better get crackin'!!. Look forward to the support from all of you!!

OMG!! I totally forgot about this! I have only been doing about 30 minutes a day. A couple days a week I did an hour.

I guess I'll update my sig line... :)

Ok, these are really weak goals but it's definitely better than couch potato status. I pledge to do fifteen minutes a day of SOMETHING every day left in January. Baby steps!

      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.
