Well I thought the 5k precor said max 335 lbs but that was the weight of the unit. Woah.

But none of them say that!!! Maybe none of the folding treadmills can stand that much? Hm. Highest Ive seen is 350

hahaha I get that a lot! and "boy, you've got your hands full!" and "you do know what causes that, dont you?" my reply to that one is "yes, and we like it." darn it, i attached a photo of the kids from my phone but its not showing up on my pc.. hrm.. no biggie...

ohhh there is an app, and a website for c25k. Just google it??

Dean, I have 6. 11,9,7,6,3,&1. It feels like a billion, and I feel like a broken record when I type that "I've got 6 kids" and any variation of that, so I mix it up a little. I also get bored easily.... Clk, That's what I'm saying(high five?) lol just jump on in my rags, get all sweaty and stuff where noone can see me, get a shower when I can, and go on. I'm a big homebody so I think it'd work.

Butterthebean, not in the winter and middle of humid summer in Missouri, and with 24 mouths to feed and wipe. (Exaggeration) this mamas gotta do the best she can.

Edited-- I don't know what I want! Lol

Hello, I am a binge eater at times. I'm not a grazer, I just have a problem with portion control. One cookie is too many and 100 Cookies is never enough, ya know? I'd love to hear from former binge eaters. How are you now? What were your biggest hurdles? Do you feel free from it?

Actually, I hadn't checked that surgeon yet this year. He really DOESNT have a lot of reviews. Hm. Feels like I'm back at square one, kindof. Should I go to the doc w the most reviews? Guess I'll take this question to another forum. I'll miss being a part of the mexi gang.

((((Deleted because my opinion has changed)))

Weird. I'm the queen of "something's not right" And nothing seems fishy about this to me. How would this nurse benefit? They are ridiculously thorough, they really know what they're doing. . I really have faith that this is going to work out. I really don't see why it wouldn't. I only have to gain 7 lbs. that's like 2weeks of eating what I want in large quantities, a large Chinese meal and 2 tall glasses of Water to hold in my bladder for my weigh in. I dont like it. It actually feels really gross, but It will come off in 2 weeks on the Atkins diet. I think I'm willing to take one for the team. Seems minor compared to 6,000.00 and 6 days thousands of miles away from my family. (Shrug) For clarification; I'm not choosing this route because I'm scared that no dr will touch me with a 10 foot pole. It's because of the financial reasons, and sticking close to home. It honestly just feels right. And I'm 99% skeptic.

I agree enell. Honestly, this is the only bra I wear, period. I'm not afraid of a little uni boob.

Happy to amuse. True. Maybe I'll just come over an borrow you wife's when she's done ironing!

Oh dean! It's like 14 degrees outside right now and I'm a big time introvert. I also have a billion kids. I thought this might be a good way to get a run in, while the kids are napping, bit k do fear that I'm going to drop big bucks (to us) on something that's going to sit. And take up space. Our house isn't big and I dislike clutter as much as I dislike group settings. Lol Sigh. Maybe I'll just get a new dishwasher. Haha

Thanks. Those do look nice. I was actually just looking at that brand on the sears site. I tend to research the crap outoif any and everything in life. I like that google maps thing, that's a neat "bell. "

What models do u have? What specs do I need to make sure I get?

I appreciate your view. It's a 6 month diet, not a 6 month prison sentence to my fat suit, silly. I can lose weight in this time, I don't have to stay where I am. Sure I won't lose as fast but that's fine. I don't have any co morbidities, so it's not like my obesity is killing me in my sleep. Although its not doing me any favors either. I'm not sure how many appts there are before the 6 months is up. I imagine it won't be over $500, and it's small amounts here and there, instead of one big was of cash that REALLY should go toward our credit card debt that IS smothering us. Even if the surgery ends up costing $5,000.00 after jnsurance, I can pay that in small payments too.

Will i get service at these places, or will I have to purchase the overpriced ATTmx package?

Lol Can you explain "they took me"? The requirements is a bmi of 40 or 30+ with at least 2 co morbidities. I asked her today"so I need to gain?" And she said "yes, Unfortunately, we do sometimes suggest that patients gain a few pounds to qualify." Sigh

I see your point. They must be really good at what they do. Honestly, and I don't judge anyone that does, but I'm a terrible liar and couldn't do the weights. Maybe if I eat a LOT of Chinese before I go to my weigh in, with lots of junk the week before, maybe I'll gain enough and can hurry up and lose it. I want to gain Water weight more than actual fat though. Sigh. What a weird place to be in, NEEDING to gain. Feels gross. Other good news, dh says I can get a treadmill. Any suggestions?

She said that they've NEVER had a denial. (Hm) Think she's spoon feeding me?
