I want to do Pilates so bad!! I haven't been able to find a class yet. There is a belly dancing class around me though. It doesn't start until May, think I'm gonna have to try it!!

Found it off my surgeons website. I am so sick of the support groups, phony personalities, if you get my drift. Also, supposed to be for those of us banded less than a year, and its alot of people with the band over that. Just not the "support" I was looking for.

So, on the site there is exercise classes recommended, and I really wanted the yoga, but the dates started before my vacation, so opted for the Pilates.

Thats sooo funny, there are a million yoga classes around me and no Pilates. I really wanted to try Pilates!!! I'm actually really flexible for a fat chick:biggrin2:.

I'm afraid to take a yoga class, I think I would be laughing the whole time! I'm not very good at relaxing like you are supposed to for that. I think I'm going to try the couch to 5K thing. It might mess up my minutes for the March challenge though... I don't know, I'm just gona shake my booty.:smile2:

I am very flexible for a fat chick too. Really flexible, but I liked the idea of the yoga relaxing me. These classes are for the larger sized women, that is why they appealed to me. Even though I do/did the cardio classes at the gym, and dressed well enough to not have anything hanging out, I didn't feel very comfortable.

Here's the link. Rochelle Rice

What do we get if we finish or exceed? Lets write Oprah and ask for exercise equipment. Or better still, how about the winner gets Bob Greene for a month:) and one of her personal chefs, and that Nate Guy. All good eye candy! Diane

Hey Guys! I'm not on here as much anymore these days cause I don't have access to a computer during the day at my new job. I'm joining the March challenge!! During the week, by the time I get home at 10pm, I'm too tired to do the elliptical. But, I try my best to do an hour Fri - Sun. I'll start clocking my minutes on the walk home from school (it's about a mile) so surely I can reach 600 minutes by the end of the month. Good luck everyone!!

Ugh, I hope hope hope I can get my 600 minutes in this month. This week is a bad week for me because it's all wrapped around my moving and I won't have time to get to the gym- think I can count packing and moving day as exercise? LOL

I am in, too!! I have got to lose 50 pounds by the end of June (well, I don't have to, but that is when I will see my ex-hubby and would love to show it off!!) He has no idea that I had this done so I want to shock him as much as I can...600 minutes here I come!!! Woo Hoo!!

Ang1982: Since you began the thread, I think you are the only one who can change the thread title. Wanna change it to 600 Minute March? You don't have to...but it's cute. :rolleyes2: Or, I'll go ahead and begin a new thread if you'd like me to. That's no problem. Just let me know!

      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.
