Check OP for UPDATES - Weight Loss Goals, Challenges, and Support

Good point. I don't sign contracts nor go where there are start/end fees. Bad assumption on my part that everyone knows to watch for those.

 

Weight is just a # how you feel and function is the ultimate end result. It's taken me 170# to understand that but I don't even care about the weight anymore. Mines a physique goal

 

You need to change your mindset that a number is not the most important goal, it's just a point in time measure.

 

Stop thinking and typing faster than me! I'm guessing that may stop for a few days now though. At least the typing part...

 

After 4 months of eating better, hiking and working out I am starting to feel a lot better. I haven't hiked more than 10 miles in 4 years- we did 13 on Sunday. If I don't reach my weight goal in 6 months I know I've still accomplished something.

It'll all come along. It's really changing the way I live for the better.

 

Too soon lol too soon

 

Just giving you a bit of grief. I've been through a couple of rotator cuff surguries, so I do feel for what you have coming up.

 

@Newlife Thinking of you today... Good luck with the surgery!

 

Nothing wrong with Planet Fitness as long as you are there to workout and not eat pizza. My issue with them is for them kicking me out because my tattoos are considered offensive...

I have a cross on my arm and a word on my ribs but the only thing on my ribs you can see is the first "P"

 

Oh I know. It's gonna suck

 

Worst part for me was just having to wear that damn brace for 6 weeks in summer.

 

Awesome thread! I'm tempted to join in. But usually I'm like "workout? Or work on truck?" Haha.

But I did lose a little weight this previous month since I had the Co-driver challenge, Hotel Tacoma, and Rock Therapy. Lol

 

That's what I'm not looking forward to. Trying to make it into some sort of game. I put on my white board at the house 42 days. And just keep counting it down daily.

 

Same thing they told me and I have a sleeve

 

Thanks heather. Hoping for a very speedy recovery. I've got things to do lol.

 

One week of pretty good eating habits. I exercise quite a bit from riding a mountain bike about 60+plus miles a week but never really eat well. This maybe mostly water weight but I was at 182 two weeks ago. Trying to keep this up but its hard!

 

Out of surgery took longer than expected. Evidently m a bleeder

 

Down an even 7 lbs. maybe just maybe I can make it ten lbs by next week.

 

206.8 this morning. That's 3.2 lbs down since last weigh week.

 

Looks like everyone got updated last night. So just letting you know surgery went well minus a little blood flow issue. Evidently when you're about to have surgery the worst thing you can do is go workout the morning of surgery. Dialates the blood vessels and all that crazy stuff. So needless to say bonehead move on my part. I've gotta go in Monday and get the packing and bandages removed and the Ortho wants to check and make sure things are good to go.

Had a huge huge time getting me in a position that he could work with. Said I have the third widest shoulders he's ever worked on. But overall 6 weeks in the sling and then pt. unless at my 3rd week checkup I am doing better than I should. He did tell me he did two extra passes with the rope for added strength. So that was a plus. Also trying to do this with a limited pain meds as possible. (Scared of addiction) so last night they crushed up 2 Percocet in some apple sauce before I left the surgery center. Then Stacey gave me one as I drifted off to sleep. So far seems to be bearable but we will see
