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:

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
