Walking / Jogging
I want to start running/jogging so bad! After 8 weeks of power walking, my heart rate just isn't getting up enough with the walking. What should I do? How do I start running without killing myself?

Star Jones....leaving "the view"
Well here is my 2 cents.... I am not a HUGE fan of Star, but I think she had every right to do what she did. Barbara Walters is no fan of mine and I think it is plum shitty to get rid of Star. What did she do to warrant that? Lost weight? And ... so what? Got free stuff for her wedding? SO? I would have done the same. I LOVE Elizabeth, probably because we share the same views. I hate Joy, like Meredith, can not freakin stand Rosie. I think the mix they had was good, and I seriously doubt I will watch the show again. I personally think Barbara needs to retire. She is the one that comes off to me the most like her shit don't stink.

I'm cheerier but still ketosis-less
Ketosis is a great state to be in for weight loss, just not safe for your whole life. How many carbs are you consuming a day?

Galveston, Tx - New Water Park
I can vouch for the one that is in New Braunfels, TX... I am sure the one in Galveston is just as awesome, if not better!

Unbanded Spouse
My DH lost weight at first, but has gained it all back. I feel just horrible for him. He eats his meal and my leftovers. I seriously am going to just start eating off of his plate. That will help us both and save moola!

Marriage on the Rocks?
I for one am glad Saul posted the truth here... he is looking for someone going thru the same feelings... not people to say Shame on you! Yikes people... with hundreds of pounds flying off, stuff will change. Just like Paul said... about the libido. It's the truth. I have only been married 3 years and don't have the experience of life as most of you do, but my eyes wander all the time. So the hell what? I am in love with my husband and would never forsake our vows, but everyone is different. My hubby and I both appreciate the beauty of others. Sounds like to me that it is deeper with Saul than just wandering eyes though. People change. Good Luck Saul and I hope someone here can actually help ya!

Banded 3 days ago
I had to jump in here and tell you girls about me... I am reading your posts and smiling away... I was right where some of you are with your questions last November right before my surgery with Spivak. I didn't want to have the bypass because I didn't want my innards re-routed and I was scared to death of complications, saggy skin, and all kinds of other stuff. At 330+ pounds, I had nothing at all to lose. Insurance paid for mine and I thought what the heck... nothing else will KEEP the weight off for me. I don't eat 1/10th the quantity of foods that I used to. I joined 24 Hour Fitness (something the old Heather NEVER would have done). I have a LIFE for the first time in my life! If any of you have any specific questions... feel free to PM me. Oh, I drink AT LEAST 64 oz of Water a day, work out at LEAST 5 times a week. (I included a picture of my before and "during") GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU!

The truth
My story... I do not eat fat free ANYTHING... ick!!! I eat tons of Protein... but I don't count it. I don't usually have sugar at all. BUT, if I want some, I will. I exercise AT LEAST 5 times a week. I drink AT LEAST 64 oz of Water. I don't count anything and I don't stress about stuff too much. I am very lucky though, I think, to have lost the amount of weight that I have. You have to find what works for you. I do all of the above with no problems while working 50-60 hour weeks and taking care of my 2 babies (hubby and DD) I don't believe anyone when they say they don't have "time" to exercise. Because I used to say that when I had no DD and worked 40 hour weeks. I just wake up at 3:30 AM so I can work out! Good Luck to you!

QUESTION for moms.. FUNNY
Our word for vagina is Poodly-Duke... (don't ask, cuz I don't know) I don't have brothers and I think we referred to my cousin's penis as wee-wee....

any have problems with people they told about the procedure?
My friends and family are so old school and out of it, they thought I was crazy! I wish I would have never told a soul. The people that found out look at me like I am cheating since I am losing weight now and I am not so big. Just a difficult subject. A lot of family knows but they don't talk to me about it, I don't think it is their business.
