hi all just wondering if any of you have heard or tried vibration machines{no not that sort lol } they are about the same height as a treadmill and half the length, you stand on or sit on them plus other positions and is supposed to be good for circulation, metabolism and i forget what else,they are quite expensive so i don't want to get one unless i'm sure, i had asked on a site here in oz buy only 1 person replied and that was to say she wondered the same thing ,so i'm hoping it has been around longer in america and somebody may know about it ...jenny

ta well i guess that leaves me out cos theres no way even with the band i could do that : (

i was wondering what HGC is and do you know if its safe with high blood pressure, i googled it to see if i can get it here in australia but cant find any health cautions with it

hello everyone couple of names i remember, i havn't been here for a couple of years ,it was really good to get your'e e-mail as ihave been really battling to get back on track about 18 months ago i had fill taken out cos of reflux and was just starting to fill up again and my eldest boy died and i just couldnt have cared, so i've put almost all the weight back on and im too ashamed to go to my dr so thanks again for reminder that all you lovely people are here and i'l get inspiration from you x

hi all havn't posted in a while and was just catching up with everyone when i came across this, i used to love cycling many years ago and think i would really enjoy taking it up again, my query is i have a bit of arthritis in my knees would it make them worse ....jenny

was going to put this in pm but thought i would post it for any other newcomer's, did you now about oz-band site in australia you would find local people also try this one www.esv.com.au it's a local melb one but you would be made welcome not a lot of activity but a nice bunch who would i am sure love to see a guy on board, oz-band does have a few guy's on board

hi kaye please don't get discouraged everyone journey is different you are doing well, for myself it has been an incredibly long time 2 years this july and 16 kilos down my last fill has done it have best restriction ever and at last got my head into gear being one of the older bandsters i must be like the proverbial teaching the old dog new tricks but i don't care how long it takes me i NEVERwould have lost it without the band just got heavier and heavier i reckon. so keep happy slow and steady wins the race, hopefully when we have another catch up for coffee we can meet...:)jenny

lol loved it { but with tongue in cheek a bit close to real life ha ha }

in the last few years there has been an increase in them here in australia as well, i can't see why cos that is what we have cemetaries for you go there and and pay your respects after all that is where their remains are, there has been a roadside tribute near my house for at least 3 years yet in all that time i go past many times i have never seen anyone there and no-one i know has seen anyone there, if they have to do it then i feel local laws should put a time limit on them

just wondering how everyone that is using cla is going side effects and so, i'm not having any luck getting it here do you think it would be safe to order it on line from there?

please reconsider everyone's voice is important and i couldn't see anything wrong with what you said and nor it seems does the mod's hang around

hi anna havn't done much posting lately, but have been checking in havn't seen you on the boards very much are you okay?

well done for getting up and starting again some get it right first off, but so many of us struggle and remember God loves a battler and you'll get there but don't be hard on yourself if you stumble on something don't turn it into a mega feast, well that's what i have been trying and it seem's to help, good luck and don't forget to share your progress with us

hi cam thanks for reply, just got back from taking my grand-daughters to gold coast i think the melbourne weather or something must play my knee's up a bit cos i walked all round the theme parks no meds and it is the same when i stay with my son that lives in w a [ but it's a bit drastic too move and leave all my kid's behind] has pain stop got codiene in as i am allergic to it ?

well you surprised me i have taken panadol and osteo panadol since i have been operated on i don't go back to my dr till the end of jan so anyone from esv know what are doc's say on it, don't want to cause any probs with the band

hi geoff and welcome i agree with kat theres good days and bad theres no magic but it's a great to tool to help i personally have been a pretty slow loser,but i am emotional eater so it has been a long road also at my age and being female i would have got worse and worse so i am very happy with my band good luck with yours:clap2:
