My name is Jenai. I was banded on 5/22/09 and back in the hospital 6/5/09 with complications. Things are heading in the right direction now and I'm at the gym at least 6 days a week on the elliptical.

I would love to join you all on the mileage challenge to keep things going in the right direction!

Thanks,

jenai

Welcome everyone. Willow and Plans thank you all for your help with the ticker. It's been over a year and I never had one. I was disappointed with my weight loss until I actually saw it in black and white on the ticker. I was very proud of my progress.

Plans I was able to get three tickers. I don't need the third but let it stay so that you can see that the site will allow it in at least some cases.

Everyone, have a great week!:tongue_smilie:

Hi Jenai. I'm so glad to know you are doing well. Welcome to our group. Hopefully we can continue with new challenges month after month. This site has been so great on bringing so many of us together. I am happy to be on this journey with people who understand what I am going through.

Wow Godshelp! Your weight loss is aewsome. Over 70 lbs in a year should be celebrated. Congratulations.

Thanks for letting me know about the tickers. I will try again to make a third one. As of now, I am keeping track of my miles on a daily calendar.

I am posting this as a TEST. I attempted to make a third ticker. Hope this time worked.

This is a great idea!!! I'm just getting back to exercise and my surgery is 7/21, so I'm giving myself a conservative first goal. I'd like to join in if y'all will have me!!!:biggrin:

Week one accomplished. 12 miles completed. I signed up for this challenge a few days into the month. Next week will show some better numbers.

Good job everybody!

This challenge really helps me to get it done. Today was my birthday and I wasn't really wanting to go to the gym after work. But I did and this challenge helped inspire me to see it through. Better health is my birthday present to myself.

Thanks!

Happy Belated Birthday Jenai!
