I made a trip to the Dr. today for my 1 week followup. 20 pounds down and the Dr. says that everything is going great! I am going to start hitting the treadmill tomorrow and start to get these bones moving more.

Great news MDGibbs - keep up the good work and make the treadmill a regular part of your day -- if that isn't fun, find some exercise that is! Keep us posted on your progress.

I am glad to hear you are doing so well. Listen to an iPod or watch a good tv show or something while doing the treadmill, it makes the time go by a lot faster. I found if I just do the treadmill and have nothing to keep me entertained, I get a bit bored.

Gibbs, I am so happy for you!! Start slow, a little at a time, and music/tv helps pass the time.

Susan, that is my problem now, the treadmill is getting boring, even with my music..instead of 1 hr, it's 30 min now, and I missed yesterday. Dang, I should go right now!

Steph, I tried reading while on the treadmill, as I have heard of a lot of people doing that, but it literally made me sick to my stomach. So, instead, I plan on doing it when I know my favorite shows are on tv, as they keep me entertained.

Yup, isn't that the truth, I rush to gym just to make sure i get a tv treadmill, if i'm out of luck i go to the ordinary ones and let me tell you, trying to lip read from the overhead tv's isn't much fun especially when you look down and realize you've ONLY been on it 3 minutes out of 45! Ugh:confused:

My gym has tvs in front of all the cardio equipment. There are other gyms that would cost me less, but I have to have those tvs. Sometimes I plan my gym time

according to what I want to watch on tv.
