Hey there, i exercise on the wii fit plus, it also has other programs like the biggest loser challege and zumba 1 and 2 which also tell you how many cals. I cant afford the gym and here its summer so you can relax with the fan on. I like it more now than when i just used to jump on it for a while. I do just over 30 mins and burn about 170 cals, if theres nothing on the telly ill jump on again!!!

I've put in a gym in my basement and I've added some minor weights, treadmill, elliptical and recumbent bike. I found some of those soft floor mats at allmat.com. Of course, that was all expensive. But the least expensive and most effective equipment I bought, was the Tony Horton 10 minute workout at Beachbody. Not too expensive and easy to use. I added some extra resistance bands, found some resistance exercises on youtube and I'm very happy with the less expensive methods of working out.

I walk outside. Bought all the necessary weather/appropriate clothes and I'm off! Also try consulting with a trainer at the gym. A good trainer can teach you how to do an exercise program with things you have around the house. If you don't have someone, PM me. I can refer you!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
