Recommended Posts

I am dying here!!! You guys crack me up!!!

Leatha- so glad you were able to get to Curves with the rain and all. Now, that is commitment. I always feel great when I am there. It's a blast. I am trying to make myself go at least 5 times a week.

OOPS, I need to moderate my own post! I was only talking about flabby upper arms and what type of exercise will tone them! I promise, no sexual innuendos! And the only rocks I have are in my head!

I go to bed early and y'all have a party! I just can't win! lol

Laurie - I have lost 20 pounds, but will probably gain a little back when I get put on more food, hopefully TODAY! Thanks for asking.

I think I need some movies of all this stuff y'all are talking about!

Betty, Would that count as exercise? You know watching those kind of movies. If so that MIGHT be something I can do! :laugh

Well, now that you mention it, I have heard if you imagine doing the exercises your brain thinks you did and you gain the benefits! Now, I bet we could all come up with some good images of that! Yup, I think a GOOD movie might just do the trick! :)

Hello everyone,

Yesterday I ran 3 laps in the gym with the kids. I did snake drills which dealt with running. We also did line drills which we ran from one end of the gym to the next. I did 20 situps, 10 juming jacks, alot of different types of stretches and some pilates.

Cut it out, Selecia, you're making me tired! What are snake drills? They sound like something the Crocodile Hunter keeps in the shed.

Marie, if I can stop laughing long enough to find a photo of that triceps exercise somewhere, I'll try to post it . . .

I missed exercising yesterday because we were canning tuna. :guess It seems I always have an excuse. :) But tightening all those jar lids should help with the bat wings under my arms.

I bought bat wings for my halloween costume -- really -- I should have just used the ones I have. :laugh I actually am looking forward to dressing up -- showing off I guess, which is so NOT like me. I am the stereotypical shrinking violet in a crowd, trying to find a job to do so no one will give me undue attention. That is certainly changing!

I did a double lap around the park during yesterday morning's walk. This challenge requires me to exercise Monday, Wednesday and Friday. So far, so good. I don't worry about weekends since I'm so active cleaning & riding my motorcycle... as long as I keep moving.

Wow, Becky, 69 pounds! That is amazing! Canning is a lot of work and definitely counts as exercise! I'm with you on that "shrinking violet" thing. (Take a zero, instead of giving an oral report.) But this forum is bringing me out of it. Kind of scary, isn't it?

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
