Hey guys, I am trying to make up a play list for exercising. Whats on your iPod or Mp3 player that gets those limbs pumping and the calories burning?

hey, Im being banded in December and I have the same worry as you. But i definatly agree with the above, that Leslie sansone is fantastic! loooove her videos, if you go on exercisetv.tv you can see her style of video and if you like them, you can download or buy them. I really like how positive she is and its all a gradual thing... Her videos are easily personalised. you dont have to do everything she is, you can add weights and increase them and then increase the distance/time you do the workout for. her box set is on my wish list for christmas cause at the moment i have one of her workouts on my computer and i love it. getting right back into it. Just wake up a bit earlier, do it and it will give you energy for the rest of the day, boost your metabolism and help your body turn your food into energy. Best of luck!

Hey, Im about to get the lap band done, sooo excited. But I dont know what to tell my BF's 8yr old son who lives with us. I don't want to give him the wrong impression and him and his dad joke about him being overweight (i definatly dont approve of this joking). Any ideas from parents on what they told their children, he's a smart kid and I dont think he will be fooled with much.. hes turning 8 in november

hey, Im really worried about this problem too but there are a few things you can do to help this. Bio Oil, I dont know if its available in america, is used primarily for Pregnant women or those who want to reduce the apperance of scars or uneven skin tone. What it does is it makes the skin more elastic and has some healing properties to it. There are alot of cheaper creams on the market that have elastin in it. or anything that would be used by those who are pregnant to reduce scars while their bellies are growing as this makes the skin more elastic. It works in reverse too. it will tighten your skin. Also Flaxseed oil is a good inner body way to tightening and rejuvenating your skin. Water of coarse helps with the excess skin. and exfoliating your skin daily works as well. Unfortunatly exercise only helps to fill out the skin with muscle... although it does send messages to your skin to become more elastic in order to incorporate this new muscle i doubt it will have such an affect with the amount you have lost Congratulation by the way! thats a fantastic loss! I would (and am currently) exfoliate every morning (or evening) in the shower, moisturise your skin in the morning and afternoon, take flaxseed oil once or twice a day (the packet says 3 times but i only take it twice) and drink as much water as you can to hydrate your skin... Best of luck and once again congrats on your weightloss!

Omg i love it! Thats a fantastic idea! Im in australia so Im so going to copy you and do it myself! Just with a map of Australia. Thank you so much for your idea, Its fantastic!

Hey guys, I was just wondering, What part of the chicken contains the highest amount of protein? I only eat White Meat, What is the type of white meat that has the highest concentration of protein? And of coarse which one has the least calories/fat. Thanks for all the help:thumbup: -Lynn

I am telling people, that i went to my doctor and he said that i could either get this done, try dieting again and hope that im in the 7% of people my size that loose the weight and keep it off, or i could go on like i am and get diabetes. When you put it like that with statistics and options, people seem to understand alot more how hard it is to loose weight and keep it off, give them the 7% statistic. its a higher statistic of people who loose weight on diets, but only a small amount of people keep it off... Im sick of dieting and with my behind the desk job, its really a no brainer decision. Good luck and happy banding

You guys are fantastic! I was prepared to wear the ring as a necklace for the time it took me to loose the weight. I didnt even know there was ring resizers out there! We've decided against the ring we originally wanted because if we do get it resized the two bits of metal that come up to the diamon (but dont actually touch the diamond) would get all warped out out of shape and wouldnt look as nice as it does. So we're trying to get a ring made for us from my mum's friend who makes jewelry. Try and avoid the hefty mark ups jewelry stores have. Im going to show my soon-to-be Fiance these ring snuggies, what a fantastic idea!

Hey Guys, Im getting banded in december 09, but i want to get prepared early, What should I buy over the next couple of months to get myself ready for life as a Bandster? And what should I keep in my cupboard or bridge at all times? Thanks all.:seeya:

My Partner and I want to get engaged and we've picked out the ring. but it can only be resized up 5 sizes... and i need it to be resized up 6 sizes... so one size off.... but then i though... what happens when i get the band in (surgery date is December), and im loosing weight, will i have to get it continually resized? i can get it rezied i think 3 times or something without it affecting the band too much... So i wanted to know what everyone else thought about this... We're going to talk to the manager of the store to see if they can get its in my size, but i though why no just wait till im the smaller size.... then again we're getting 30% off the ring and its a 2500 ring Any one got any ideas or help?

im going for a 68 Kilo loss cause thats also how much I wanna Weight... But I will be happy with 80 Kilos and then aim for a lower weight slowly... I think when you start out its hard to pick a goal weight because you dont know where you would be happy at.:biggrin:

I just told my friend about getting the surgery... and she yelled at me and blocked me.... She has lost 40+ Kilos (over 80 pounds) through diet and exercise. and shes very passionate about it and thinks its a horrible mistake... It just kind of shook me and im second guessing the decision im making... Is it really all going to be worth it or should i try diet and exercise one more time? Ive tried dieting sooo many times and ive always put it back on + more... Ive made all the arrangements and I want this.... I know im going to change my lifestyle... just... it really shook me. Need some reassurance that this is the right thing to be doing...

I know this post was ages ago but i thought i might just put in my input as a young soon to be bandster.... If you use creams that have vitamin E, and some of the pregnancy creams that help with elasticity, you should have a higher chance in having your skin stay elastic. COngrats on the wedding.
