Hi Guys! Well its been an interesting week for me. We have been dumped on with snow. Like 14 inches. It's crazy. I did make it to the gym last night thought for spin class. We had a different instructor which blah...I really like my instructor. She was okay I guess just doesn't push us as hard. I do count snowblowing and shoveling as exercise though. I mean it was so deep I had to shovel it around first before i could snow blow some of it. Anyways my upper back is killing me. By my shoulder blades. I've been really bad to about my nutrition. I like went a bit nutty while getting food while trapped in the house. Ohhh I have good news. I'm going on a trip in may to Panama with my g/f. Her work is paying for it all! So I have a new incentive to loose some more weight. Weee

Hi Guys, Sorry I was slacking posting here. I have been sick alot this month. It's not been good. First I was sick with bronchitis, then i got better then the kid got the croup. Then I came down with another head cold. I think..think..I am finally a healthy household. Haven't done a whole lot in January. Yesterday went to the Y and just did some leg lifts and crunches. Also did the treadmill for 25 minutes. I've been leary of it since I came down with tendonitis in my ankle. But it felt just fine being on there. Even did some good running on it. It's amazing how good I felt. I could go for so much longer without feeling like I was dying. Anyways..the leg lifts were important to me. I never get through them in my saturday strength class. So I committed to working on them more so I can get through them at the class. I have spin class tonight. Still loveeee this class! Hey daddy! It's great when you see yourself progress in the spin class. All of a sudden it doesn't feel like your gonna completely die in that class. One day it'll be nice not to be the biggest one in the class too (talking about me here..lol) Man those people are fit. All the girls have "chicken" legs too I call them. They look soooo good! I want that!

A fricken Men! I would say half the guys are just looking for easy sex so please watch yourself if your actually looking for more than just that.

Since I've had this band for quite awhile know there is nothing I fear more then vomiting with the band. I do not have the anti nausea stuff that others seem to have so if you can get that I would. But I have lived through the puking. But honest its the scariest thing ever. The band just doesn't want it to come up (sorry to be graphic here). So it lasts so much longer than a normal vomiting episode would be. I'm soo scared its gonna slip the band but nothing I can do you know.. body just takes over. Anyways happy to report this band can take a beating. No slippage in 5 years. So I wouldn't worry too much with being sick. But yeah..it sucks!

Well if its working for you thats all that matters. It's probably just a matter of where your fitness level is. For me a half an hour wouldn't be enough. But for a beginning 30 minutes would give you great results. So if its working for you, keep with it. Maybe down the road you might have to reevaluate. Happy exercising :frown:

I dunno guys having a bad week. My friends son passed away it's been really hard. He was only 26. Had the wake last night. Just been a rough week with kid still ill too. This weather is bringing me down. Ankle still hurts..and wearing this wrist brace sucks. Just taking a week off I think. Decided I will go to the Saturday class for sure and start over again. Hoping by then it warms up a little. Just seems so dangerous being out in this right now. I don't have a great car either. I'm also going to do some leg lifts and stuff at home tonight. Hope everyone is doing well.

I was too busy doing the pre-op liquid diet to do any last meal stuff. Glad I didn't cause it's really silly. There is nothing "off limits" to me and my band. But it's usually a huge waste of money because I don't eat much of it anyways. Just everyone please relax and not go into a panic that you are not going to eat your favorite food ever again. I just don't think that's true. It's really not worth the extra weight gain that your going to have to do either. Take care..happy losing. Di

Hi Guys! Well sorry haven't been around much. I did workout out Saturday, strength class, Sunday, weights, crunches and 20 minute bike (5 miles). I've had to take a few days off now cause of my little one being ill. Can't take her to the Y. I am now using my brace for my carpal tunnel. I bought one for my ankle but it made my foot fall asleep. LOL. Not gonna work. I'm gonna buy the shoe inserts like the doctor suggested. Ugh I feel like my body is letting me down. Heyy Daddy thats sooo cool about that article. Your famous :rolleyes2:

Hi guys..wow they changed the way the site looks.. Anyways went to spin class last night. It's always harder on thursday since I went on tuesday and I'm still sore..lol. Anyways I survived had a great time. Didn't get the crunches in though cause I was running late to class. Hey Jess30. Don't be too hard on yourself. Really this isn't a race. Your body will change if you stick to exercising overall. Everyone has skipped a few days..or a few weeks even and its okay. If you stay focused on your overall goal your going to get there. Just remember that you can't expect to get there without exercise in your life. Hope you get some gym time in soon.

Personally I would be honest about him about your weight before you go. Nothing is worse then seeing a disappointed face at a first date. This way again if he's that shallow then you haven't wasted your time. I know its hard but you should do it. Also tell him what your doing now so that he knows that your in a "transformation" stage. That works well for me.

Now I do agree that it's bad to just go out with someone a second time to just use them for their pocket book. Your also wasting yours and your dates valuable time. But to just go out on a date to meet someone and it doesn't work out I think it's okay to say..hey I got a free meal at least. You know why? Cause of all the other hell in life we women have to go through that you men will never ever have to experience. So there..LOL.

Leena how do you know its mercury free? oh nm i see on the bottom of the label it says it on this GNC brand.

Okay had some trouble with this site but it looks like its working again for me. Okay Monday night just did the circuit training stuff..lots of crunches..and 20 minutes on the bike did about 5 miles i think. I keep on treating these bikes like spin bikes and they so can't take it. LOL Last night I went to spin class. Can I just say once again I fricken LOVE this class. Ankle was bothering me though a bit. I just wanna exercise without having to think of something hurting..it's annoying
