Hope there's room for one more. I recently found this website after becoming increasingly frustrated with obesityhelp.com. I was banded 2/22/07, I have lost between 30 and 35lbs depending on the day. I have had one fill of 5cc (10cc band) on April 17. I still have some restriction if I behave myself and eat as I should. I have recently become serious about the exercise, as I realize I will probably never lose all my excess weight unless I am willing to committ to an exercise program. anyone can feel free to PM me or email.

5/21/07 recumbent bike: 15 minutes elliptical: 23 minutes Turbo Jam standing ab workout: 10minutes TOTAL: 48 minutes

I am your classic "pear shape". I have found that I seem to be losing more from the waist up, than from the waist down. I am doing recumbent bike or elliptical 30-60 minutes 4-6 days a week alternating with the Turbo Jam dvd's. My knees pretty much suck, they sometimes make noises that I have never heard (and I'm a nurse, lol). Squats and lunges both cause that grinding sound and mild pain. Does anyone know of any other exercises to target the glutes, hamstrings, quads, etc...????
