Exercise your way into fitness!
I searched the web for Docters for hours and drove over four hours to clinic and sat through 3 hour orientation in Green bay wis, all to find out that my Insurence would not cover it. It would cover the Gastric bypass but thats all. I could lie and say I live in Minnesota they do it in deer river MN.One hundred miles away.......It was so tempting! It would be Lie and could be considered fraud.......... I would love to have been banded but eather way you still have to work at your weight loss. Buy eating right and Excercise. Thats why I never got banded. But most of all God bless every one!

Exercise your way into fitness!
Just wanted to say hello. And to talk about how important it is to make time in are busy lifes with kidds family & Jobs. To make time for are selfs...........even an half hour a day will make a big change in ones attitude and health.It will take some time to notice but it will happen. Also don't for get your Water. It will help your muscles and your thirst and help with flushing your system out! It is recommend to walk 10.000 steps a day. That is 5 miles I' believe. but it will take some time for a lot of people because we are not all athletes. Some are in better shape then other, but we are all on this site to lose weight with the same goal some banded some of us that aren't. I myself enjoy this site because of all the encouragement that people Give. well take care God bless!

New tread mill Junk!
I have been looking for a good Tread mill to buy. Trying to stay under $600.00 Dollers have been to sears and Sams club. Sams club had some really nice ones that were cheaper then Sears But there sold out of the really good ones and were now carrying the Proform model. The girl at Sams told me that this model more or less sucked! Well to save $300.00 I bought it any way. Well it did suck......It was all right to walk on but if you ran on it! It would stop! even my 71lb son could run on it and it would stop. I' payed $500.00 for it. Well need less to say Sams club got it back. So I have been walking out side every day and last night missed the tread mill so much I had to run in place while watching tv......... That worked so well now Im going to start a new fad running in place while watching your favorite show haha it worked. If you have any info good Tread mill under $600.00 feel free to share the info Thanks John........ Weighed in at 253.5 today
