September exercise challenge?



Recommended Posts

I like the Orange team - Heba is a fighter, and she has a great attitude...she made me cry talking about her dad. Makes me miss my Dad - though he passed away when I was 9 - we were very close. ;)

my husband thinks heba is going to be a knockout once she loses a bit more - he already thinks she is so pretty & great personality.

i like both orange & red. the red team just seem like SUCH great parents and a loving couple. was neat seeing the "red" dad get pissed because he wanted that camper for his boys - i would have been pissed if the orange team didn't win & someone else did other than red.

so gadget hubby is just as addicted to BL as i am, and while he's traveling he goes to itunes and purchases the episode to download onto his laptop to view - knowing i can't hold out 2wks till he gets home to watch....

oh and the wires - he has an obsession, i mean an OBSESSION w/no wires exposed ... it's quite maddening.

sorry you lost you dad so young ebony.:cool2: i'm enjoying my dad now for the first time in my life - he's beyond type A, was strict, demanding & offered too many opinions unsolicited. being a grandp has mellowed him out & that's a good thing....specially for mom:tongue:

Every time they do a BL Couples or Family show, I've been tempted to do a tape for me and DD so we could do the show together - I'd want Jillian as my trainer, cause she's such a drill sergeant:wub:

The opportunity to have band surgery took that off the table - now I watch the show for inspiration and to see some of what they do in their workouts. They do a AWFUL lot of aerobics - more than I have time for - but they are inspirational because I also haven't seen them need plastic surgery afterwards...

All that butt-kicking activity must help them with the loose skin issues...plus, I think they are younger than I am...

Day off at the gym yesterday, but I did get my walks in. No gym tonight - have a work-related social activity, but I'll walk at lunchtime and again tomorrow. I'll be back in the gym tomorrow and will post the soreness-inducing results here (or in the October exercise challenge thread, when I find it) :cool2:

I wanted to submit me and DH too - like you LB thew that out the window. They lose so much weight so quickly...I can't imagine the emotional affects it has. We lose slowly - and I know at times mentally there is an adjustment for me. My hormones get out of wack and my mind has to catch up with my body. I still think I should shop in the women's section...Imagine losing 80 pounds in two-three months....wow!

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
