I am missing the "Fitness & Exercise" section that our old site had. What gives? Reading that stuff and getting ideas helps to keep me a little more motivated. Am I the only one missing it? Maybe it's on here and I just don't see it?

I was looking for it yesterday and couldn't find it either......

Hmmmm....maybe it will show up soon. Hope so!

Scroll all the way to the bottom and select "General Bariatric Forums" and there you will find that some of the more GENERAL topics were lumped together instead of being broken out into the different varying forms.

Crazy but true...

Some of the others that were put into this general category were the Lounge, Rants & Raves, Technical Assistance, Clothing Exchanges, etc.

Thanks for the info Sheila! Long time no see! How are you doing with the lifting?

Hi Mark...well, we had a week "break" between 6 week sessions and I was so proud of myself getting to the gym and lifting twice during my break. I found that it was NOT the same as having our instructor "push us" but I was proud for doing it. Which makes me glad I signed up for the next 6 week session.

Unfortunately, the fitness center allowed 8 people to register for this session (I guess normally it's capped at 6) and so the instructor was MAD and so she decided to try and see if she could get some ladies to drop by attrition...lol. So there were two "yoga" ladies who were not used to lifting and she put us through some punishing stuff to see if maybe they would quit.

So we'll see how it all shakes out...made me glad I was on her "good" side!

And ...you...congrats on your two year...Do we get an update post?

Sheila, the more the merrier I guess. Good job on continuing without your instructor....sounds like growth to me. Way to go!

I probably should do that update I guess, but nothing really new to post. I've actually gained a few pounds since making my goal weight, but I had kind of planned that anyway. I'm back up to around 227, so I need to slow that gain down.
