PB's can be good if it is going to put that fear in you to stay away from that food. Poor Pitful nothing.....BLESSED.....HIGHLY FAVORED BY GOD!!!! WORK THAT BAND GIRL!!!

Vincent Pastore on fit club had heart bypass. I wished they had brought Joseph G?...who Tricia said...on the show.

Congratulations and Welcome Be sure the check out the local MD thread!

The others have said it all. You have to love yourself so get your fill and take care of yourself. Go on line and look up support groups or ask her doctors about heart or kidney associations, just like the cancer society. They can be there to talk to, they may have people who will visit or sit with her while you go out and take a breather. I am always talk about TOPS, that is my support group. Taking Off Pounds Sensibly I was shocked when my father passed, they were there. They were at the house, at the funeral, calling, bring food. They ARE a family to me. We call each other, we send cards, because we know life gets rough. You need a support system., someone to talk to or just get a hug. ((((((HUGGGGSSSSS)))))

You go Penni, that sounds you are awesome. So how many have you walked in so far? I have a picture of the last one we walked. Three of us are from LBT, but I need to ask the others can I post it.....you know their faces are on them. LOL

Name: Denise Austin What I want you to know: “You don’t have to do tons of sit-ups to tighten your tummy. Wherever you are—sitting in your car, cooking a meal, working at your desk—pull your tummy up and in, like you’re zipping up a tight pair of jeans. If you hold it for five seconds, it’s the equivalent of one sit-up. Practice this regularly every day, and in three to six weeks, you’ll see results.” Name: Michael George What I want you to know: “You have to give a new fitness program some time to deliver noticeable results. When you start cardio and strength training, you might actually gain weight at first because you’re putting on lean muscle faster than you’re dropping body fat. But if you’re training the right way—high intensity training mixed with interval training—you’re kick-starting your metabolism and should start dropping pounds in two to eight weeks.” Name: Kathy Kaehler What I want you to know: “Your diet is about 75 percent of the weight loss battle. Don't think that because you went to the gym, or saw your trainer before work, or did an exercise video before bed, that you can raid the pantry. If you do not fuel your body properly, your results will be washed down the drain with your sweat. Follow a well-balanced, low-fat diet that includes lean Protein, complex carbohydrates, and lots of fruits and veggies. Drink Water, water, and more water.” Name: Jillian Michaels What I want you to know: “Go beyond your "target fat-burning zone" when you do cardio. It’s true that when you work out less intensely at a lower heart rate (65 percent to 70 percent of your maximum), you burn a higher percentage of fat calories over sugar calories. But when you get your heart rate up to at least 85 percent, you’ll ultimately burn more total calories overall of both fat and sugar, making it a better weight-loss strategy. Name: Harley Pasternak What I want you to know: “Train your body evenly. Many women will pick a body part they don’t like—like the inner thighs or butt—and work more on that than on the rest of the body. But this causes muscle imbalances and leads to injury, poor posture, and a worse physique. Just as you train equally on your left and right sides, train equally in the front and the back.” Name: Gunnar Peterson What I want you to know: “Strength training doesn’t make you ‘big.’ Women have on average only one-tenth the testosterone that men have, which means that their bodies are far less able to build big muscles. In fact, all training breaks down muscles; the building occurs after exercise while you are recovering, and only if you take in the proper nutrition at the proper time.”

Pssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

:wave: That would be me ......if I had one that went high enough. I do get so excited when I weigh in once a week at TOPS. My SIL is getting me one but I think they want to give it to me as a house warming present. poohy When I do get it, I am going to get on it all day long. When I get up, before and after I eat or use the potty. You know 8 to 15 times a day. LOL

JoyceGA I loved it.....so how is the new workout coming along. LOL :huggie:

I was going to say the same thing, you are doing great. Keep working out, move it even more and watch it.
