November 2009 Mile Challenge



Recommended Posts

We are getting closer to the Holidays and I do not want to gain weight during this time. I have finally started to lose weight. I am not at restriction yet so I need the exercise.

I will continue to get my miles in using the stationary bike.

I'm in! I'm 7 weeks out from surgery, and I've been lazy. So, I pulled out the WII fit this morning and started running on my mini trampoline. I'm shooting for 30 miles this month.

May i join in? I'm in a slump and need to get back. My goal is 25 miles of aerobic walking in November. When I do it, i can get in 1 mile a day- but cannot every day. Do you track on Sundays?

I'm in again! Looking forward to working on meeting my goal this month. I'm finally well, and I'm settling into an easier routine at work. I can do it. 2911, congrats on moving that ol' scale! :scared2:

I'm in for 100. I've been stuck and need to bust through.

I'm scaling back a little this month as the cold weather comes in, but I'll commit to 60.

Glad to have everybody on board! Welcome Sue and Bill.

I lowered my miles to 40 this month because I am incorporating Wii Active into my routine. I came up short last month because I tried to do both.

Sue we track any day that we exercise.

Willowcat, I need your help. I made a ticker for my weight loss, but I can not access it. I click on the exercise ticker and it takes me to the site to update it, but when I click on the weight loss ticker it does nothing. Any suggestions? I've made several and have had the same problem.

I kept forgetting to come on the thread for the october challenge to log my miles, but I managed my 30 (barely). I'm stepping up this month though. I'm going to go with 40 for November.

Third's the charm. I didn't reach goal in Sept & Oct. Hoping to reach it this month. I'm keeping the same goal - 25 miles - as its getting cold here.

2911, I don't know if I can help you or not, but I'm willing to try. One thought I had is that you may have had the same problem that I originally had with the PINs. So here are the steps: When you get to your weight loss ticker page, enter your PIN, click Edit/Update Data. That opens a new screen that is labeled "Setup". You have to enter your PIN again (I didn't figure that out at first). Make sure you've chosen "Public Data" (if you want it to show up at LapBandTalk). Put in your weight and choose today's date. Click on "Next" to see your updated ticker. Hope that helps--it's so exciting to be able to update the ticker because you've lost weight! Congrats!

I never can remember what days I'm supposed to do this... haha. But 1st-8th (today), I've logged 10. A little lower than I thought but I'm on track to hit 40 at this rate, though I'd prefer to blast through it!

30 left.

      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.
