What excerise is the best?
im 2 weeks post op and before surgery i did the biggest loser workout and its intense and you really feel it, its a good workout. but im not sure if its ok to do right now, you jump in it and do lunges and stuff, but see if there is a video on youtube about it, if you do the workout every other day and do the full 30 mins of it, im sure you will see results in a month, i know if you dont do your part and exercise you will have lose skin but this workout dvd will tone you up and i am subscribed to seventeen magazing and they have a bunch of different exercises in it and you feel them also, this month has one for getting toned. there are different workouts for your butt, thighs, arms, abs, workouts for busy days, a bunch of different things its really nice and they have them posted on their website seventeenmag.com but sorry if i didnt have the answer you were looking for

Heat and workouts
i always wondered what i could do besides being outside in the heat and its been up in the high 80s the past few weeks and today it was actually up at 100 i wanted to go swimming sooo badly but people said i shouldnt but my doc said i could so i dont know, i tried walking in the morning but its still hot, i live in ny and it just started getting hot this month, i have ac so im going to go on the treadmil twice a day every other day and on the other add in a seventeen magazine workout. im 2 weeks post op my doc said i could exercise now, im going to wait for acouple more weeks to add in the biggest loser workout. and a few weeks after school starts im going to start going to my school's weight room and use the eliptical (: but one of the nurses that did one of the classes before surgery said that you can walk up and down stairs or dance to music but like someone said you can get a floor fan and thatll keep you cool i have one for the treadmil and i have one for when i do a workout or play DDR or wii fit in my room and i dont have ac in my room but we have one in the living room (: maybe get a ac? oh dont forget to have your water, i wouldnt want to workout out in the heat either but i did when i tried losing weight before and i handled it pretty well but now we have a fan and its so much better

Bandsters in Their 20's
hey I'm not 20 but I'm 18 (: I didn't have a good expieriance the first week I was nauseated and I actually had to go to the ER one day but it didn't do much help but I went and saw my surgeron that week and gave me better nausea pill now I'm better (: my surgery was July 31st I lost 12 pounds before pre op 8 pounds on pre op and 11 pounds after surgery. I'm on mushy stage and it's all right, I'm going to start walking twice a day every other day and the other day walk once and this Friday I'm going to add a light workout. The only people who know are people in my household. Like what kind of goals? It's been getting better so far. I have the band that has a fill in of when they put it in I don't get a fill for another 3 weeks and it kind of scares me. But yup I'm looking for people my age as well(:

now i need some encouragement =/
thanks (: people already say im looking thinner i have a realistic goal and that is to be at 185 whenever i hit it. then when i hit it ill set another mini goal im not expecting the band to make me thin over night at least i feel happier now and when i have people like you guys, you help out alot. i will get to my goal when i get to it, im in no hurry, like many said, when i get good restriction it will begin to work. i do have a band that has a fill when they put it in, so i have little restriction but not enough.

will this be ok

now i need some encouragement =/
thanks (: I really don't know, she doesn't really have a cell phone and no money to buy minutes, she don't even call me but she's always at her sisters or baby sitting or with her boyfriend she did tell me she misses me and we might hang out on Tuesday or Wednesday aftter I see my surgeron but I guess I really haven't seen anyone because they don't want to hang out which is tough but anyways I can exercise too and I shouldn't lift anything over 20 pounds just to be safe but I have no clue what I'd like to do for exercises, think I'll just stick to walking for now and 2 pound weights Oh I forgot that someone said something about school, yeah the teachers usually keep us busy and we sit most of the day but have 5 mins in between classes and I usually speed walk to my classes and some of my classes will be up stairs and I don't walk up them, I like to get up them as fast as possible so no one gets mad at me. Gym Is every other day and sometimes she really works us but I really like my gym teacher, and I was thinking that a few weeks after school starts I'll go to the weight room to walk and maybe sometimes use the eliptical machine. And the whole cosmetology thing, is at a different school called Boces or CV-Tec and it's a longish walk to get from the bus to the class and I brought one of those step counters to school one day and I walked over 1000 steps so that's good so being at school and doing something from 5-3 should help me with a steady or just help me with my weight loss

now i need some encouragement =/
womanizer is a good song by her and circus, someone also said something about dancing to music in my room for 30 mins and I heard about jazzercise or whatever it's called and I know it's time for healing and yeah I'm deffinately bored that could be why, I miss my friends I haven't hung out with my bestie since July 8th and my summer has been very boring, nothing fun to do and the weather in ny just started to get hotter out and I do have anxiety and I worry alot I've always been that way, the closes support groups are a hour and 30 mins away and I was told I was the youngest they've banded and everytime I went to a class or a appt. I have never seen anyone my age and no one suggest to meet up with any one so hmh, but I'm really bored and my summer really sucks
