OK, math iz harrd.

Hi, I am in!

CW 280
GW - less than today

Water aerobics 3-5 times a week and get started on my weights as soon as I am allowed.
Want to learn to plank - will be asking someone. If I can figure it out properly I will add the plank challenge that is posted above.
I already post daily and make sure everything that goes in my mouth is on the list - no cheating myself out of knowledge of my behaviors.

Down 10 lbs, 7 to go for surgery goal, but My plan is to totally blow that away!!!!!!!!!!!!

I started on Monday, May 26th (Memorial Day) and the last weigh-in I will have will be Monday, June 30th. I'll be on vacation over-seas for the rest of that week, including 4th of July.

GW 218

I want to continue my cardio at least 5 days a week and start incorporating weight/strength training as soon as I'm cleared (I was sleeved on 4/21 and am now just 5 weeks post-op)

Almost 20 pounds is a lot, I know. But this goal has a couple of facets. Being 218 would be mean I would be at my lowest recorded weight as an adult (also the lowest weight in 10 years) AND I'll actually be on vacation to enjoy it! I would love to go on vacation rocking my brand new body.

If I don't make it, it'll be ok. I'll still be the lowest weight I've been in almost 10 years and happy, happy, happy! But I'm going to push myself and see how I do!

Good luck everyone!!

I'm checking in! How are all of you doing on your goals?

Each and every one of us has different goals and different things to stride for, but no matter what the goal, we all just have to keep pushing together! I know the road is bumpy, and I know how much it sucks to hit a plateau, but you WILL get through it, and you WILL keep pushing! Whenever I find myself struggling I sit back and remind myself of why I started all this in the first place and why I spend every moment of every day working my butt off (literally) to accomplish my goals. That scale can be your best friend, it can be your worst enemy. Whichever it is for you, just keep your head up, stay positive and keep being a badass! You will get to your goals as long as you work for them.

Here's my original post and status (happy guy posts first update! ):

I'll give it a shot!

16 trips to the gym down, 9 to go!

I'm doing good so far. I was worried that maybe I wouldn't hit my goal (still a little) because the weight loss was SO SLOW. I have been doing a ton of hard work outside in the super high heat lately, too, and know I wasn't drinking enough water. I finally had lost some when I woke up yesterday, and all day was a relaxation day, it was cool, and even though I was only drinking a normal amount of water I was peeing all day, so I knew I was finally releasing the retained water from the days out in the sun doing heavy gardening & yard work.

Yep, another 1.1 pound drop this morning. Now I'm only 4 pounds from my goal and we have about a month. I've got this!

My 4th of July challenge is always give a little more in my workouts. For example, instead of doing running for 20 mins, I'll run for 30 minutes. I really want to push myself to do better : -)

I'll try!

Only 1.2 lbs from goal and just under a month to go!

I am in.
Currently Pre-op evaluation
Current weight 355
Goal Weight 345

lonirrt, for me, the hardest part is getting in the car to head to the gym. Once I get there, I jump on the machine (usually the elliptical) listen to some tunes and try to distract myself for the 45 minutes. I always feel good about getting done. Unfortunately, my downfall is giving in to excuses about why I don't need to go. The one day turns into a week, turns into a long time.

That's why this July challenge, I also challenged myself to get to the gym three times a week, which worked out to 25 trips. As of today, I made my 20th trip and have five more to go this month! feeling good!

Not sure if you belong to a gym, but try setting a number of trips challenge for yourself. Don't worry too much about what you do, just try to make going a habit. Who knows, you might actually start enjoying it!

Good luck!
