and if I could afford it I'd have the calorie in out arm band that measures everything.

They aren't as accurate as a Heart Rate Monitor and you can get a really good HRM for about $100, way cheaper than a BodyBug.

I tried out 24 hours and couldn't stand the ads all over the walls (ads for bread where you work out??). And too many people. I'll stick with my small gym for women. Although I do miss working out with me:wink:

I don't like 24 Fitness either. Luckily we have a free gym at work. No spin classes or pool but most of the classes at 24 Fitness were not at convenient times anyway.

i'm not such a fan of 24hr fitness, but since i moved to the country - that's all there is for me.

i use to belong to lifestyle fitness (not sure if it's national) and it was fantastic....

as far as the ads on the walls - mine are covered w/past BL winners. i feel like i've walked onto set everytime i walk in..LOL

I wanted to try out 24 hour fitness for their classes. I'm only about a mile away from my current place just not very happy with the classes there. Saturday I'm going to try out kick boxing classes at my kids karate place. LOVE kick boxing!

I just got this yesterday from Overstock:

Body By Jake EKHO Heart Rate Monitor from Overstock.com

Hoping it works out well. Still need to read the instructions because I didn't know what the hell I was doing with it last night! :frown:

Let me know how accurate it is please, I had one in about the same price range only it was always way off. My heart rate was always much higher than it read so I'm a bit leary trusting one. Even my elyptical is pretty inaccurate until my rate is way beyond aerobic

I always assumed it was just a "me" thing since my gf and I were working on a treadmill once and she said her chest hurt, I whipped it off put it on her and her rate was way high. When I was thin many moons ago my veins gave easily, now they can't hardly be found under all the padding so I figured the one I had was probably having similar problems. I should add that I just seem to be one of those people who things are always whacky with. I figure it will work fine for you especially seeing its bye "Jake: LOL:lol:

Well I did say "really good" and "$100". I think the cheaper ones can be okay, but the ones I'm looking at that get the rave reviews are all at least $100.

Which is why I don't have one. :frown:

Yes, you did say that! :thumbup:

I guess I'll find out. Then again, I have such a hard time finding my pulse that if it was wrong, I don't know that I'd know. :rose:

anyone watching?

Me!

I just watched the pink team not make the goal they needed of 10 pounds. They got the benefit of the gym, but apparently that didn't really help them. Guess they should have worked harder instead of making banners and making a "lounge." :thumbup:

      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.
