Congratulations! And welcome to onederland.

I usually drink a whole bottle of water while smoking. For me, it has curbed the munchies.

You will definitely need to purchase a heavier resistance band. I got a medium/heavy one and the upper body workouts are great with it.

I have a proform xp 160 elliptical. It has an 18" stride and 275 lb user capacity. At the time (3 years ago), I paid $699 for it with free shipping. I purchased mine online from proform.com. I don't know what their shipping offers are for international shiiping, if any. Maybe you can try to find a local ftiness store or an online site that ships closer to you. I'm sorry I couldn't be more help. I also have a proform treadmill and it's very good as well.

Try proform.com. they have good machines and you can get them locally and try it before you buy it at a sears.

My actual goal is within a healthy normal weight range. However, the goals set by my nutritionist and my surgeon, both which are different, are both in the overweight range. I have already surpassed my nutritionist's goal, so onto my surgeon's goal, then onto my goal.

You do not need te balance board to use the Active.

I had mine done twice. The first time I had the rings put in and didn't really like it. The second time I had the barbells put in and they were fine. I had to remove them right before I had my band put in. I'm thinking about getting them pierced again. I have big nipples too but the pain was minimal for me.

I have Wii with the Active and Active More Workouts. The biggest loser dvds, a treadmill and an elliptical. Right now I'm using mainly the treadmill and some wii for strength training with the Active.

You said it best.

I have the EA Sports Active and the Active More Workouts. Both provide an excellent workout and have different levels from beginner to expert.

Congratulations

Try reddi whip over cool whip. Cool whip has hydrogenated oil(trans fat).

I've been a 1% milk drinker for so many years. I've just made the switch to fat free milk and it has been a very easy adjustment. There is a slight difference in taste, but it was easy to get used to.

Congratulations and good luck on the next part of your journey.

Welcome back big papa!

I usually have a couple of slices of turkey bacon and a cheese stick.

I don't have the wii fit, but I have both the active and active more workouts. The regular active is great. I haven't used the More workouts yet, but I look forward to it.

Congratulations!

If you have a GNC near you, buy from them. They have a very generous return policy. If you try something and don't like it (like 1 of a 4pack), you can return the rest and get all of your money back.

Good luck!

This happens to many of us. Maybe you can try journaling your food intake to see what is actually coming and what is your exercise routine like.

Congratulations!

I had a false scale read last week, so I'm actually down 97 instead of 99.

Sorry about that. He's a surgeon. He has a great staff as well.
