I have been doing Body Pump for about three or four weeks about 2 or 3 times a week. I like it. I agree with another person who said that they feel like they still need cardio. I definitely need to have cardio in addition to the body pump. At my gym our instructors are great and really watch our form and correct us if necessary so we don't injure ourselves. The first time an instructor corrected the way I was doing something I felt a bit embarrassed until I started going more and see now that they help everyone by pointing out what they need to fix so they don't hurt themselves.

I'm really going to try hard to lose 2 pounds a week and go for losing 14 by Valentines day. That would put me at 193...a number I haven't seen in a very long time!

I want to join in. I AM going to lose 15! That would put me at 192. This will be great motivation for me!!!

I have tried the videos and done the workouts at a local gym. Honesty, I feel like the videos go too fast and are too advanced and I have done Zumba for almost a year. I love it and I leave there dripping wet too. It also depends on who the instructor is. One of the instructors stops between each song and that drives me nuts! All the other instructors have their music ready to go and we don't have any "wait" time. At our gym they have a Zumba class for beginners two times a week, that might be something you could look into. But I will give you some of the advice my friend gave me when I first started...she made me promise to do it five times before I made my decision on whether I liked it or not. At first the moves seemed so complicated but after the third time...I was hooked and basically knew all the basic steps.

I learned this the hard way too (even though I also had been told not to drink if I got stuck!) I am so hard headed sometimes! And you will definitely know when you have something stuck! Another bit of advice...DON'T lay down either!!!

I am also from KY...Owensboro. I think what you are feeling and experiencing is perfectly normal. You are having to change your whole life style when it comes to food and with the surgery you have to give your stomach time to heal and sticking to those strict post surgery diets are not exactly easy. Hang in there. It will get better but it may get a little more trying too...like before you actually get your first fill. Keep reading and posting on LBT, it is a great place to come for support and read about other's experiences. That way you will know you are not alone in this!

I, too, believe just like you do...I do feel that this was meant to be for me. I had to do the six month doctor supervised diet and everything went like clock work down to the doctor's office submitting the paperwork to the insurance company and being approved two days later. After surgery I was in no pain, just a tad bit sore and I have done great. I also had thought about WLS before but only knew about gastric bypass. But then one day I found out about LB and the rest is history.

I had my third fill yesterday. I now have 7cc in a 14cc band. The doctor was going to give me 2cc yesterday but after talking to him we agreed that I probably didn't need that much and that I am almost (if not already there) at my sweetspot. I love being able to fit into some of the clothes that I had "outgrown"! I have really found out that if I don't excercise I don't lose! As long I do the work, my band does its job too
