The beauty of this group is that you can do what you want. We will just be there to motivate you, encourage you, and Celebrate your successes. I report mine by hours, some report by sessions, and I think it is Becky that has a very complicated reporting, but we love her still the same! So pick what you think you can do and maybe up it just ever so slightly to challenge yourself. Welcome. This really is a fantastic group!

Alright I am in. Going for the same 25 hours this month though I really am hoping to get in a little more. However I would rather beat the goal that fall short!

Oh and I think I figured out what is causing the port pain...the stupid belly! I didn't have my Spanx type undergarment on all day yesterday or the day before and I was really active and with all the extra flab that is hanging on, it was really pulling on it, not to mention the very hard workout that I had on Sunday. So back to the sucker-inner for the day. Guess I am going to have to wear it all the time now. Probably the reason my back hurts too! AHHHHH I am falling apart. PS consult is FRIDAY!!!

Ok, I'm in, this is the first challenge I am joining. I go to the gym 4-5 days a week, and walk the others. What do I do, log that in everyday? Looking forward to joining you all to a healthier me and you!

Hi Brenda and Jeanne,

Glad you're joining us -- WELCOME :puke::smile::)!

You can log your exercise as often as you like and report it in whatever way or format you choose. Most of us set an exercise goal at the beginning of the month, as doing so seems to help us keep our focus.

Good luck -- we look forward to having you in our group!

Hubby and I played tennis last night for about an hour. I would probably burn a little more if he did not play tennis like Barry Bonds. I did however get some cardio running to the other courts to apologize to other players and retrieve our balls. I think we will stick to raquetball. At least the ball cannot leave the court there. :thumbup:

Count me in again.

I'm going to start logging the hours I spend at the barn, tossing 60lb bales of hay around and riding the wee beastie. Otherwise it looks like I'm sitting home on my arse, eating bonbons and watching TV.

I rode for an hour yesterday. Today, I walked/ran 40min/3.2 miles on the treadmill and 10min/4 miles on the bike.

Ummm...Yeah...throwing 60 pound bales of hay makes my workout routine look like a pansy! I would definetly count it!

Welcome to all the new challengers. This really is a great group of core people.

I'm on board for my usual - 20 cardio sessions and 8 weight sessions. When my parents go home (hopefully by the end of April) I'll have more time so look out come May!

      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.
