Fling into Spring

Posts: 1,430 Member
Hey gang,
I'm starting a four week challenge in MOBO MOTO, our challenge group for the morbidly obese. Basically, the challenge is to list goals for weight loss, nutrition, and fitness and to do your best to meet those goals from now until the first day of spring in about four weeks.
If you'd like to join MOBO MOTO, I've opened up the group (switched from private to public) temporarily. We do have a few "rules"--explained in the group description--that mostly deal with whining and negative energy. Everyone is welcome, but if you join, you'll be expected to participate in the challenges. Not perfection--nobody's perfect!!!--but progress.
If you'd prefer a more laid-back group, why not start the Fling into Spring in here? If you'd like, I'll post my goals in here as an example.
Actually, I might as well just post them. Please note that my weight goals are based on bariatric surgery goals (I had a sleeve gastrectomy in December).
Fitness goals:
Mon Morning: Aqua Tai Chi and Weight Training at Casco Bay
Tues & Thurs Evening: Aqua Toning class and Harness Swimming at Pineland
Weds Morning: Weight Training at Casco Bay
Fri Evening: Laps at Casco Bay
Sat Morning: Aqua Zumba and Weight Training at Casco Bay
Sun: Day of Rest, or laps if I feel like it
Nutrition Goals:
Record daily food in MFP
Record Water intake
Follow Bariatric Program Instructions for meals and water
Take vitamins, supplements, and meds as instructed
Weight Goals:
Weigh In Weekly
2/22
3/1
3/8

Reasonable goal: 410 by 3/22
Dream goal: 399 by 3/22
Super Special Dream goal: 394 by 3/22 (that's my 100 lb mark)

Not sure what is up with my weight. I did change things up a little in my exercise routine but hmm hopefully it will go down again soon since I did stay under me calories all week. Maybe after the big loss over a year it just needs some time to recover and is holding onto it until its good and ready to let some more go.

Didn't think to add this before, weigh in on 3/1 was 247. I'm yo-yoing like you wouldn't believe right now as my body adjusts to keto.
Also, squats and planks are out for the time being - knee aggravation again. Walks are down for now, due to keto adjustment - the littlest things wear me out until fully keto-adapted...0 -

3.5lb off. Carly have you tried kineseology tape
0 -
No, ma'am I have not. I don't know if that is an exercise video or something you measure yourself with! LOL0
-
Its for taping injuries. I use it on my knees and right achilles, its gentler than a neoprene support but pretty effective. You make I laugh!0
-
Duh, should have been able to figure that out. I've had tendon problems off and on in that knee. It is the part that wraps around from the back to the knee cap. Any torquing at all sets it off. I wore my brace all week. I have no cartilage left in that knee. If I move it, you can hear/feel clicking. Too many years of volleyball. Ortho told me nothing weight bearing. I told him, hello, I'm fat. Existing/walking is weight bearing. He told me recumbent bike only. I asked if he was going to buy me one. I can't sit around and do nothing, yet I can't do strengthening stuff, but I can't work out either. The whole situation frustrates me to no end. Walking does okay, but I couldn't do that for a bit while keto adjusting. I miss my fat-girl shuffle-jog, but that ended up causing knee problems, too. Nothing I can do for now except try to do joint support supplements/food, and lose weight by diet. This has been two different orthos told me this over almost a decade. I am too stubborn to listen and probably contribute quite often to my own problems...0

I bought a great recumbent bike at Amazon for Christmas and it was only $150. It has magnetic resistance and is super quiet. I bike while watching tv. http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B005OU4E1M/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Looks like it's gone up but prices on Amazon fluctuate so if you keep checking it may go down again. This is a great bike and the reviews were better than bikes in the $500-600 range.

Nice! Thanks, @altogirl2 I'll add it to my wish list and check back...0

Yo-Yoing weight again. Where I'll land, no one knows. I'll check measurements again by the end date, if I can...

forgot to post my weight.
They closed down the single track where I ride to prevent damage while it is so wet from snow melting. I am having a hard time dealing with it
. I am so looking forward to getting back on the mountain bike and hopefully that will kick in the weight loss again.
