Thanks hon! I just wish he'd quit wasting my time. I don't get it really. Why even bother if your just gonna ignore the person again the next day? It's not like I even demand a phone call..just a text.."hey hope your having a great day...i'm busy today sorry call ya tomorrow". Wow is that so fricken hard?..LOL. Apparently so. Let's all bet on when he's gonna text me again. Today..Tomorrow? With the same..I'm an idiot..I'm sorry..blah blah..and somehow make me feel like im too demading or something and it's all my fault why he didn't contact me..LOL. MEN!

Glad you feel better JM! Last did 25 minutes on treadmill at a 4.0 incline..woot Then I did the circuit machines...and then 50 crunches on the floor Also went for a brisk walk during lunch..was about 15-20 minutes..I think i got a mile in. Today is my day off...also can't walk at lunch gotta go to the bank ><

Heck yeah they are! You gotta weed out the dogs. I mean if he was really interested he would call right?

Also if you have cable we have a really good feature called OnDemand. It's got a whole lot of free excercise videos on there. Remember too its not whole long you go. You can break it up throughout the day..10 minutes here..15 minutes there..it all adds up. The important thing is to get your heart rate up and your metabolism going. So yeah just don't go for a walk...get really moving

Hi there Sounds like you have a good fill to me. Most bandsters are always tight in the morning like that and loosen up throughout the day. As long as your getting food down and your not having reflux I wouldn't touch it. Welcome to the world of being a bandster

Geeze guys..why oh why did I answer the phone when gamer boy called? What is wrong with me..blah. I know how hard it is to resist this man. Anyways we went around and around again about how things are. Why is it so hard for him to understand he needs to give in a relationship? LOL It is really amazing how fricken sweet they can be when they wanna be. UGHHH!! Anyways..I know in my heart that once I get to goal there will be better men flocking to me. I really just can't wait for that day! *focuses on goals*..hehe

I'm here. I had my step aerobics class last night. 45 minutes. My ankle was bothering me during it. Anytime I had to put all my weight on it. I think I solved my financial issues for awhile so hopefully I'll settle down now and this will go away. Also did 50 crunches after the class. I'm telling u no machine or anything can substitute for just laying on the mat and doing them the old fashioned way. On the machines I don't feel as sore at all..even with the weights. Really odd. Now if I'm not sore during the day..something is wrong..LOL

I didn't include exercise for years. It's a real personal thing I think with everyone. I too hated exercise. But once you reach a point in your weight loss journey you'll know when your ready to start. The great thing about the band is that it's always there. Ready to be used again at any point if we aren't really focused on our health at that given time. Eventually though we figure out if you truely wanna be successful and most importantly..not regain the weight. We HAVE to exercise. The great thing for me was that I lost about 60 pounds first before I started so I felt alot more comfortable exercising. But like I said it's a personal thing. Also don't worry about the saggy skin issues. This is a again something that varies from person to person. Mostly age is a factor. But generally it's not gonna matter. If you loose a significant amount of weight..like over 100 pounds. The chances are huge that you are gonna need a tummy tuck no matter when you pick up exercising. Start slow and gradually add more to what your doing. Also I find taking classes a whole lot more fun then just being on a machine. I'm doing a step aerobics class, a spinning class and a strength class every week. They are free with the membership so it's really good. P.S. Just wanted to add..I LOVEEE my YMCA. Although yes it is really expensive. Probably because they are involved in so many programs trying to help the community. But I love it cause its not like the other gyms at all. It's a family environment. Not all gyms are alike. Just find whatever it is that works for you so you can get your exercise in.

30 minutes in my strength training class today...oh it was upper body today..then I did 12 minutes on eleptical. My ankle is hurting me..>< Anyone else when they are stressed have body parts that start to hurt? It's really annoying and I knowwww it's stress.

So I've been talking with a guy for awhile. Seems pretty good. Well he has a kid too so he asked for a play date with his son and his sister coming along too. I wasn't comfortable with that idea. I would like to meet him one on one first before I involve my child. I don't wanna be analyzed by his sister either if I'm good enough for him. Ewwww. It's just I haven't had a date in a long time so I'm kind of like...wondering if I did the right thing.

I had spin class last night too! I'm actually getting used to it I think. I'm not really sore at all. But yeah different instructors do different things. Sorry your hurting so much. You'll be better by Sunday..:waytogo: Tonight I'm off again. Getting harder to keep my kid excited about going to the YMCA with me.

Okay 20 minutes on eleptical 20 minutes on weight machines. My trainer left me a little note that I haven't been meeting my weight training goals..lol. Also did 50 crunches on the floor..i swear the old fashioned way works the best for crunches. and I LOVEEEE the way my abs are sore. Wednesday is day off..which is good cause my kid is getting a bit tired of the ymca. yikes..I need to keep her excited about it or I'm in trouble.

Hehe..thanks..u go too!!

Thank you..it was really driving me nuts this topic.

Hopefully not rock hard from bruises..LOL..:confused:

Sunday 20 minutes treadmill...15 minutes eleptical...50 crunches. I got to the Y late and the day care was closing. All I could fit in.. Tonight I'll be going again. I'm gonna see about a step class tonight and see how packed it is. I hate being on top of each other. I just feel like I get more out of classes. Also I'm worried I'm gonna get really bored soon.

If anyone remembers me in this thread..I was the one with the gamer guy interested in me that got swallowed up by WoW Well he text messages me late last night...with just "I'm bad :("..lol Ya think...ya your bad for me!..LOL Gotta love it when they realized they lost ya and no I didn't text him back...no way in hell

Eventually my ass will just be rock hard I figure..LOLLL I would love one too..but too broke to get it.

You will find that there are alot of things that effect the tightness of the band. For me..if I get just a little bit stressed...I can't eat anything (although I can still drink)! Or if I get sick..I get the same way..probably cause I'm also stressed out cause I'm sick. Also around my period week..is a definite tight week. Basically everyone is individual. There is the difference though of something stuck..versus just a tight band. Make sure that you can at least drink with a tight band or you have major issues. You will learn through the years how to precisely work with your band. Trust me One trick for losening myself up before food is drinking tea..or having a bowl of Soup. Really helps. Besides the soup helps fill u up..just make sure its not a creamy one. Loveeee egg drop soup..hehe

hiya BlueEyedKitty..welcome to the thread The watcher I think you posted your questions in the wrong thread. Btw tests are all individual per doctor. You really have to ask your doctor. Okay for me..talking to gamer guy...thats it though. I don't even know why I do that. I guess I'm gullable. Also yahoo personal ads suck unless you pay the fee they are asking..really useless otherwise.

Went to spin class. Had a sub in teacher so it was okay I guess. he didn't turn out the lights though..blah. Although it did feel easier and I'm not as sore today as I was last week. After class I got one of those chicken wrap things at mcdonalds...well it must have been bad. Felt nausious all night!..nothing more to make a bandster panic than that. But thank god I didn't. I wondered if it was from all the bouncing around that maybe I got myself sick..but I doubt it. Anyways..off tonight.

If your like me..it was even worse the second day after class. LOL! What we do to ourselves. But they promised me it'll get easier..lol

Wednesday...20 minute brisk walk at lunch...day off today from gym.might go for another walk tonight though

I'm soooo proud of u!! Go go!! I worked out tonight....20 minutes treadmill 15 on the eleptical. I watched the other spinning class going on tonight and I have to admit..I'm scared again..LOL. But just like u I'm gonna force myself. Have the challenge is just getting in the class. :confused:

30 minutes on the treadmill last night. It was weird that somehow it was easier even being in pain. I didn't do any weights though since I was still in pain.
