Ya, I'm one of those people that there bodies react well to stuff. Like when I eat garbage I can gain really quickly. However, it works the other way too, so I'm hoping when I add the exercise in and really challenge myself it will pay off. Hey it's worth a try. My birthday is in September, and I really want to feel great, not that I don't already, I want to feel greater!!:Banane56:

so cloe what kind of exercise are you thinking of doing and how soon after do you think , after surgery is good? also how tall are you? How do we figure out our BMI?

my surgeon wanted me doing 30 mins every day starting during my pre-op, and starting the day after surgery, as much as I could till I got back up to 30 minutes again. Wellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll, I kinda haven't started yet:guess .

So I have a swimming pool and a treadmill. Im going to try to do 22, 30 minute walks on the treadmill, and swim just whenever I can, which isnt really hard considering where in this heatwave right now.:bananapartyhat:

You have a swimming pool? Oooh, I'm jealous. I'd swim if I didn't have to do it in public!

Kim, if you search google for "BMI calculator' you'll find lots of places where you can just type in your height and weight, and it'll tell you what you are. You said you were 5'9" and 320, I think... right? I'll check it out for you right now.........

47.3 is what I got for ya. I went here: http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/

hey mandi thanks for the BMI.... that was good , well for the info, not the amount, lol.

Cloe 30 mins on treadmill wow at what speed etc?

okay back to looking at the fridge.

I'm all for a good challenge. I've been terribly unmotivated lately...I need a kick in the pants.

Not interested in the aforementioned "sexercise" idea, though. I don't find it burns many calories to stare at the ceiling looking bored.;)

...but I guess, I couldn't reach the fridge...so maybe. LOL

Is anyone joining the Gone for Good Club this month? We are focusing on trying to get our BMI's down some. Love to see you there, too!

Have you decided what this challenge would be yet?

Sunshine
