    Leaks

    A friend of mine has a leak now, at 6 months out. It is a small risk the further out you are, but still a risk.

    Shoveling As Exercise

    Well I wouldn't say it was "fun" but you see how really in shape you are (or aren't) when you do manual labor. I work out 6 hours a week and was feeling pretty good about myself, till I mowed the grass and thought I would die. It's a completely different work out! Now I do most of the grass cutting for some cardio.

    First Step Class In 3 Years

    I love step class! We do it in aerobics every other week. It is fun and time goes by fast. You do burn 600 calories!
  4. Nothing is going to help untill you get some help for your eating issues. Maybe some counseling? Something is making you still want to eat. The sleeve is just a physical tool. If there are some emotional issues as to why you eat they aren't going to go away overnight. Good luck on this journey. And a wise woman once told me, take out the ONLY. I have lost 52 pounds in 5 months! That is still 10 pounds a month! A huge accomplishment!

    Sugar Is Fresh Fruit

    You need some fresh fruits in your diet! If you are worried about carbs get fruit from the low end of the glycemic index! Blackberries, cranberries are low. Strawberries, watermelon, cantaloupe, peaches, honeydo, apples are all mediums. But really. As long as you are eating fresh foods I wouldn't worry so much about sugars. It's when you start eating Cookies, donuts all the "bad" foods would I worry about sugars!

    Fingernails

    I use the gel perfect kind, i get it at Walgreens for 10.00. it's just like polish and it usually stays till I remove it. It's a good alternative to going to the salon, I spend my extra money on clothes these days :-) but when your healing, taking your vitamins every day your nails will go like crazy!! I love my nails now. They used to crack and peel pretty badly!

    Carbs, Carbs, Carbs!

    I am 9 months out. I could eat a lot more carbs at the beginning than I can now. I'm with butterthebean. I would take the first 6 months and let your body adjust and eat les carbs, then start adding more in the closer you get to goal. I really think you lose more weight with carbs lower on the glycemic index. Fruits veggies whole wheats.

    Anyone Use The Wii?

    I would go with the Xbox Kinect. I enjoy it better and actually feel I get a workout. My daughter and I do the wii just for fun. Most places actually have a special now 250 for the Xbox and Kinect. (Started my Christmas shopping noticed all the good deals :-) )

    Calories

    My trainer said 100 calories per mile or 20 minutes of workout that's for a 150 pound person. So you would have to just accordingly. My fitness pal just does an average for your height and weight. Your best investment is a heart rate monitor! Mine was 63.00 on Amazon, polar FT4 it is awesome!! I wear it a lot even when I'm just cleaning and walking the dog, it's nice to know your heart rate.

    Workout Dvds

    No problem! I do them when I can't get to the gym for any reason or another.
  15. One question? How's your butt?? 55 miles is amazing!

    Workout Dvds

    Do you have cable? They have tons of free workout MoVies on demand! I used to do Sweatin to the Oldies with my mom. It was fun If I was going to invest in some DVDs I would do Power 90. It is the first DVD set in the beach body series (creators of P90X) everyone I have ever talked about them say you get a great burn and see results.

    Loose Skin

    Did I do it right? If not I will try again. I have the starting of a second muscle bump lol the second pic that is all muscle on top. I've come a long way.
  18. Do you get PMS? Maybe because of what your eating during the time, your body might need more calories? Water? I dunno. Whatever it is, too bad you don't get more periods your stalls would be broken more often :-D

    Circuit Training Workout

    I would wait until you are completely healed to do circuit training, maybe 3 weeks a month? It is a lot of strew on the tummy. There is no real time, just whenever your body feels ready.

    Circuit Training Workout

    I do that workout every Sunday. I think it's helping my muscle tone And my leg strength. It takes about 15 minutes but I'm sweating hard core when I'm done. I started at 50 but made it up to 100 after a few weeks.

    Holy Cow! I Did It!

    Awesome!! It was hard when I started. Little tidbit, crunches only target a small area of the tummy. Google ab exercises. Bicycles, planks, bridge lifts are all great for your abs and you won't have to do hundreds to get results.
