Exercise Buddy Program



Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone!

I have recently been doing a lot of walking, and I would like to start trying some jogging/running. I think it would be so motivating to have a dedicated exerciser to meet up with to help force me to be accountable. Anyone interested? If you want to find exercise buddies, please post your location, available times, and give an idea of your fitness level and preferred duration of exercise. This way people can contact other people on here who they want to meet up with. Hope to hear from some people soon!

Location: Philadelphia, PA

Times: around 8 am or 4 pm (I'm a student with a varied schedule, but I will make it a priority to find a consistent time)

Level: brisk walking with the goal of building up to jogging and/or running (I'm thinking that I should try spurts of jogging along with the walking); I would like to exercise for long periods of time, like 2 hours or more

Other: My quarter goes from September - December, so I want to stick to a consistent exercise plan during this time, and then my schedule will change in January. I am also a member of Sweat gym in Center City

Hi:

Wish I was near Philly, but I'm not.

It sounds like you are quite motivated to exercising. I was too. That's how I lost 125 pounds in one year. Sure, the band helps with the hunger and limiting the intake, but consistent exercise helps so much in conjunction with the reduced calories. I found good music to be my best walking company. I did some running, some walking, mostly walking. I still do some walking, some jogging, and alot of trikking. Take a look online at www.trikketampa.com to see what a trikke is. I started a new, healthy addiction with trikking.

I hope you find a buddy, or a program that works for you!

I love my band and my new flat tummy.

Sue

      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.
