I need your help so I can walk...



Recommended Posts

Hi there everyone...back in January I registered for the 3-Day Breast Cancer walk. When you register, you commit to raising $2,200. Well, the walk is in two weeks and I'm not at that amount yet. I really want to do this walk very badly. I have always wanted to do it but I was too heavy and out of shape. If any of you guys would be interested in helping me get to my goal so I can walk, I would greatly appreciate it. I'm not giving up...I am determined to get enough donations so I can walk with the other thousands of individuals for sixty miles. Don't forget, this is for a very worthy cause, as well. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!! You can get to my link to donate at: Welcome to the Washington DC Breast Cancer 3-Day:

Odd that they won't let you walk unless you've already made a certain amount of money. But anyway... you sure you want this in the RnR forum and not Lounge? I'd be happy to move it for you...

My two sisters did the walk last year in Dallas. One was having a hard time getting donations, so we had a garage sale. We both contributed stuff, plus asked friends and co-workers to contribute items. It was really successful.

That's a great idea. I have some things that I really need to get rid of too. I have until four weeks after the event to completely finish raising the money but if I don't have to $2,200 by the time of the walk, I have to give my credit card number and at the end of four weeks, they will charge it. So...I will donate a couple hundred but I can't do much more than that. Thanks!

I wasn't sure where to post this...if you think I'll get a better response in the lounge, by all means, feel free to move it. Thanks!

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
