Does anyone else have the Nike+ ipod that they use? I started using this in feburary and it's great. you can create running clubs and it tracks all you progress for you in miles, time and even calories! My nike plus id is WBIV and it's attached to email brownw01@hotmail.com . so if anyone else has it, let me know and we can start a lapband running club to track all of our progress!

Funny - i was literally just coming on the fitness and exercise forum to post a thread asking if anyone had any experience with using this item?

Do you use the nike + shoes or a pouch with others? I'm going to try it with a pouch first - nike shoes don't usually fit me right.

I'm a walker though - not much running but am training to walk a marathon this fall so tracking will be helpful.

kcmagu- what do mean by using a pouch? I bought a pair of Nike shoes so I could use the Nike + Ipod. However, I don't really care for them. There's a way to use the system without the shoes?

KC~ Love my Nike+! I use it in my Nike's and I also use a pouch on my trail shoes, since they are Mizunos.

I have not had any problems with the pouch that I bought. It is secure on my shoes, does not move around and the sensor is also secure inside.

I think it would be fun to start a group and get some challenges up and going again. We were doing some in the C25K, but it has been pretty quiet there since summer began.

Did you start a group yet? I have not done anything like that before, but I would love to join in - it is great motivation! My Nike id is: krtork.

I should have posted over here. I was looking for a thread for the Nike+ system. I got a pouch from BestBuy because I couldnt find the Nike+ shoes that fit properly (and I really didnt want to put out that much money in the beginning).

As soon as I get set up, I will post my ID. How is everyone liking their system?

I use Nike + and love it. I came on the forum to see if anyone wanted to join a challenge. If one hasn't been started yet I could create one. Also, is anyone running the Nike human race. I will be participating in the race at USC.

Also, the pouch is good to start with but not as accurate as having the sensor in your shoe. I've heard a lot of people run 5 and 10ks and after the run their ipod shows a different distance.

      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.
