I went to the gym today, did 40 minutes on the elliptical at various speeds - keeping my heart rate at 130, so a nice easy workout, 500 calories or so. Then I did 2 circuits of the circuit room.

I've been working out almost 6 months.... 45-60 minutes of cardio every day.

Variation of treadmill, 1-mile at 3.8-4.0 mph, uphill 2-3% and then 32-42 minutes of Elliptical.

Basically I try to keep my heart rate at 145-150 for 45 minutes per day.

I usually burn 700 calories per workout according to the computer.

Then four days a week I also do strength training upper body. Usually 3 sets of 10 for various arm and shoulder weight machines. I have increased some weights from 90lb to 110lb!

I feel my shoulders, back & biceps with more definition and tighter. I can see that my legs are a bit more toned and my wife thinks my butt is smaller...

but I have lost almost no weight. Yes, I do eat a bit more, but not 700 calories worth!

Is there light at the end of the tunnel???

No exercise for me today

Nor for me, I'm fast running out of time and too much running around of kidlets to do. Nevermind, I've done something every other day this week.

I was banded on 7/05/06. So far I have lost 23 lbs. I will have my first fill

on 8/31/06. So far everything is good. I feel better than I have in many

years. My initial start weight was 212 and my goal weight is 130. I have

a long way to go but with the help of my new lap band hopefully all will go well. I've been reading the posts for the past 2 months and I have found many of them very very helpful. Thank You.

Where is Telly????????? Has she been missing or am I crazy????????

escudero...I heard thru the grapevine that Telly is taking a 'break' right now from LBT - is that true - someone? anyone? Telly girl?

While it isn't a big deal to most - it is to me:

today I walked on the treadmill for 30 minutes and actually JOGGED for one minute in between each 5 minute increment - I haven't jogged in ages so it felt like a big accomplishment to me........5 min of jogging even with arthritis and degenerative disk disease and fibromyalgia....yea!

[Miss me baby 1]

Thats great, I remember when I jogged for a little while, I felt like screaming at the gym...HEY LOOK AT ME!!!!!!!!!!! I know how you feel, and I don't even have arthritis. Your doing great! Keep me posted!
