  13. This will help you and your band if you let it.Just a thought for you. There was a done study 3 groups of people! subjects who dieted' but dident exercise; those who dieted and did aerobic exercise;and those dieted and did aerobics and weight training. in twevle weeks'each group lost the same amount of weight-about 20 pounds. the big difference was the amount of muscle lost.people who dieted with out exercising lost nearly seven pounds of ( Muscle ) interestingly,those who dieted and did aerobics lost over four pounds of muscle ). only the group who dieted while also lifting weights and doing aerobics maintained their muscles mass. they lost about a ( half a pound of muscle' ) even though they lost a substantial amount of body weight. he bottom line from this study: when you add weight training and aerobics to your weight loss program' you lose more fat and less muscle- if you train intensely. I learned the hard way I dieted little exercise at first, and lost a lot of muscle mass. it seems funny when I was heavyer I could lift so much more now I feel like the skinny guy at the beach as my bench is down over hundred pound's but! the flip side to this Im fitting into size mens 32 pants and looking very tone! from size 42! hehe.JOHNQ (P.S) cardieo is the way to go lose the weight first then build your self up as your heart is the most importent muscle that we have. take care God bless.
  14. Well Have A Great Day.con Grads! On A New Life, Hope Its Happy & Healthy.

  20. hang in there! every body has those day's at some point,however I went to the fair with my kidd's and could not fit on a few ride's. They may have been a little skinnyer, alittle better dressed but who care's deep down your a good person and your dealing with your weight problem? You will get there at some point.maybe you can use this to give you a little push to help you do a little walking or some exercise,or thinking about what your eating. Good luck take care God bless you. ( life is good it's what we make it)
  21. I was at walmart and found a video JUST MY SIZE for under $10.00 first one I ever saw that did not have a super model on it.Actual real sized person. The most important aspect in any weight loss exercise program is calorie consumption.Burning calories and increasing your metabolic rate to burn more fat can be achieved with either short sessions of high intensity or with longer sessions of low intensity. low-intensity "fat burning' work outs are usually recommended for people in poorer condition whose fitness level can't support high-intensity work outs. as fitness levels improve,the intensity of the work outs can be increased. this came from a fitness book fitness. I hope this help's any one just starting out on there weight loss journey. ARE you getting any Exercise in? And you can help your band out with a little exercise.
  22. I' clicked on the poll but it did'ent let me vote! (Not banded doing fine) Hope every one is doing fine & losing weight.
  23. I went through five scale's before I found one that was accurate! many of time's "I" picked that rotten scale up and was ready to throw it through the window many many day's. but it is a very good tool for weight loss! I have been up 7 to 9 pounds in one day mostly Water weight because I drink a lot of water plus eating super....you will always be heavyer at night/ jump on that scale first thing in the morning true weight. If you up a pound then you no that you have to do a little exercising? watch your food intake for aday or too. could just be water weight? "I" now love my scale it tell's me what I have to do that day to maintain my weight loss. If im up a pound or... two Im not going to get worked up as stress, is not good eather, so don't beat your self up! maybe more liquid's some walking. Good luck God bless.JOHNQ
  24. Have you tryed keeping track of your calorie intake? For a few day's week So you can see how much your eating. and are you getting enough liquid's in? Good luck God bless JOHNQ
  25. I hope you feel better soon! Have you tryed very light exercise to keep thing's moving? or just rolling it around. Good luck most of all God bless>
