CONFESSION TIME.... I haven't joined the gym yet . I was thinking of joining our local YMCA. It is really close to my work so it is conveniant...but expensive.. I am using my tread mill right now wich is a plus...it is no longer a clothes rack... but I think the gym is what will really help me tone up and I deffinatly need some toning!!! But for know at least I'm excersing some!!! Way to to all of you that are out there working those pounds off!

I went to funk class tonight at Bally's - it was soooooo much fun, definitely a workout. A couple of girls there go to this other class at a different place - pole dancing! they want me to come, but I don't know...they said it's a total workout, and it's funny. We'll see.....

You go Carrie, swinggggggggg:faint:oopppps get back up Carrie. LOL So were you doing this in funk class?:) That should have burned some serious calories.

J & L I pulled my stationary bike out the corner yesterday. I am going to put it back in the living room so I can ride when I am just watching tv. Stay on the treadmill because that is a no excuse workout. I am motivated now.

LSasha, Kee, Connie, Karen, Carrie, Stocy, :grouphug:thank you guys for the inspiration to move and do better. I got a good work out this weekend raking leaves. I didn't feel it Saturday until but feel more worked muscles Sunday and even more today. I like that feeling, it let's me know I actually used some muscles.

I'm still doing my crunch's. I know I have a lot of belly fat but muscle is muscle, hopefully those muscles will help to burn :flame:some of the fat around them.

:) It's a new day isn't it.... well I weighed in last night and I am :xena_banana:.....I was totally :omg: when I saw the scale numbers. I gained, not only did I gain it might as well been a newborn baby....7pounds. I don't get it:confused:. I have been eating more vegetables, exercising without anyone whipping me. I am now back up to 418:faint:. I am totally disgusted but I am going to try not to let this throw me off because right now I just want to quit. I didn't exercise this morning, I haven't eaten Breakfast yet because I don't know what to eat. Maybe I'll just wait until I get hunger pains or just drink plain tea, Water and have a slimfast for lunch. I don't know what the hell to do right now.

I'm still upset :think

HELLO??!!! If you are working out and eating veggies, maybe you are gaining muscle. Which is better, because it burns more fat. There's a little back & forth for a while, but then you'll be steadily losing if you keep it up! Do you have any access to a body fat % machine? Because that will help you see that even if you are gaining a little weight, your body fat is going down. This is a struggle for us all! I went back up to 202 after I was so excited to be 198. But I got a personal trainer package from Bally's to kick my butt into gear for this month until I can get my much needed fill on Feb 22!!!

That's exactly whats happening..the more I hit the gym the more I gain, so I will go w/your assessment:nervous

My scale does calculate body fat. I got it for xmas and havent even set up my profile on the thing. I will do that so I can keep track of my body fat.

Hello Everyone...

Today I walked around the lake at Allen Pond Park. It only took me 15 minutes. Next time I will walk around it two times. At home I walked in place and danced for another 15 minutes.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
