to my buds in Sleeveland

starting Water aerobics next week, can't wait,. bought a one piece nice bathing suit that looks good on me.

haven't gone to gym , in a long time do to ortho problems mainly with my knee - wish i had tried to go to gym earlier - i think others have knee problems or whatever too and you go exercising - but tomorrow is a new day

besides swimming, i am gonna try the eliptical, very slowly, to see if I can do? i use to be a wiz, and i loved it so much - wish me luck

i know i should have started the water earlier, but here i am, better late than never

i even bought a couple of nike shirts and 3/4 length stretch pants - they were on such a sale, plus i had a coupon too. it would have been a sin to pass up these clothes - people have been shot for less than that

all above i bought at Kohl's

the weight you lost has to go somewhere

this hanging skin looks so bad, and you can't hide when you are in a bathing suit

only about a handful of cover-ups left, end of season, so its just me and the bathing suit - in person - "hanging" around

i've been enjoying life a lot more these past months, do to the help of a certain new tool that you can't buy in a hardware shop

81 degrees & sunny here

take care all

If you are going to be doing water aerobics you should invest in a unitard. I bought one online at swimsuitsforall.com and loved it for water aerobics. You look better than in a swim suit because it holds all of you in and, since it has legs (thigh coverage), nothing can hang out.

I cant wait to start my water arobics.....surgery is August 6th so I have to wait a few weeks but its one of the best we can do! Have fun!

Oh, and for aerobics, the swim unitard is more comfy than a regular suit because it provides support to all the jiggly bits. It's not just better from an aesthetic perspective.

never thought i would have such hanging skin around - what gets lost, has to find a way to go down

Hi Kathy! Happy Tuesday! Is it Friday yet?! I LOVE water aerobics. I have been taking two hour water aerobic classes, twice a week in the evenings for about a couple of years now.

BTW, 81 degrees!! GET out! That would be like a cold front for us here! LOL!! It was 108 here in Texas yesterday, even hotter today, up to 115 with heat index! Wake me up when it is October!! Have a FABULOUS day!

Hope you enjoy water aerobics!!

I am going to my first aquafit class tonight. I am almost 2 weeks post op and took a cardio/weight/step class last night that absolutely kicked my behind!

I am hoping the class tonight is a little less pain and little more fun!

Happy loosing ladies!

I LOVE Water aerobics.

Hey tex

its nice to hear that you enjoy water aerobics,hopefully i can walk in your water steps i'm a little concerned, but like i said, anxious to try something new.

of course trying anything new like sleeve-hmmmm- is different, but terrific too.

108 degrees - now you get out

my daughter and mom also hit those high temperatures in atlanta georgi - no way , no how for me.

take care

kathy

invest in a unitard

jusstice

Hi Kathy,

I am pre-op and have started my own makeshift water aerobics in my pool...only when the neighbors aren't outside:)

I bought some water ankle weights and I jog the perimeter of the pool 4 times in one directions and then 4 in the other against the current I made. Then I swim a few laps, do stretches, twists, etc. Let me tell you, it is a work out! The best is that it is easy on the feet and knees and it is sweat free! I am sure you will love the class.

Good luck to you.

I was told to wait a month before going into a pool. Did your pcp say it's fine to swim already. I would love to start. I am 1 week out

I am looking forward to water aerobics! I am gonna try and get myself signed up in a class in a few weeks when I get the okay from my doctor.

Have fun! =)

thin soon

i waited awhile while stiches were healing - didn't go into Water til about 3 months - but i'm sure i could have gone earlier

kathy

Thanks Kathy

I think I will wait at least 1 month.

My plan for after surgery is Water aerobics too, I love swimming, and the low impact factor. It will def be my work out preference.

I'm actually starting today on doing some of it pre-op with my pre-op diet.

Swimming burns the most calories.

Depending on the suit you bought and the intensity of the class I might recommend a sports bra also. I did aqua zumba for a year and a half (and just started up again) and there's some jumping involved. I took a few "regular" Water aerobics classes too and still wore the sports bra. I bought a one-piece sportier suit but it did nothing for my chest. Most of the women in the class wore them too, which is where I got the idea. I'd just recommend one of the seamless kinds, instead of cotton. I like Champion brand seamless sports bras from Target. I've never tried the unitard thing but I might since my one-piece is too big now. Definitely go for comfort and performance over anything else... which is easy for me to say since I go to a females only gym!

Good luck! Have fun!

Great way to start is water aerobics. I joined a water aerobics senior class to help start going for a routine. With a severed ACL, busted up hips and knees from the Marine Corp and of course way overweight. The senior class was my speed for right now.
