I ordered an exercise bike



Recommended Posts

I live in Chicago so I don't have to say anything about the weather. I have been thinking about what kind of exercise I would do during this cold months. I am going to get another Wii because my first one was stolen. I was thinking I need something else so I finally decided to get a bike. I did physical therapy this summer for my knees and an exercise bike was part of my routine and I did pretty good with it. So I thought it will be better for me than a treadmill. So it will be on by January 14 and hopefully surgery will be not too far behind. I will keep everyone posted on what happens.

I lost almost all of my weight with a stationary bike. I sold me when I moved states and I still miss it. I eventually graduated to a real bike and even today, I love cycling! It's tough at first but keep at it, I promise you, you will get stronger, and soon you'll love how it feels!

I used the walk away the pounds cd. I have the one, two and five mile one. I got as far as the two mile and it did work. You might want to try some dvd's they have some good exercise for indoors that you will do well with.

Congratulations on ordering that bike. I found it a great way to get the cardio in and just moving... Because it is not weight baring, it's easier on the joints!

That's another reason I did it.

Congratulations. I wish I used my bike more. A few more miles would help.

Once I get mine let's do a club to encourage others with bikes to ride more.

Yippee MzEboni! What a great decision. We have a recumbent bike in the basement that is part of my workout routine. Now, there is another bike in our house. Upstairs. A regular bike but on a stand so it can be ridden indoors. I think I'm going to move that down to the TV area now that Christmas is over and there's more elbow room -- I need to get more mini-workouts in and heaven knows if I spent ten minutes on that every time we sat down to Netflix I'd have a lot more calorie burning going on. Thanks for the inspiration! And I have a friend in Chicago -- totally get it about the nasty weather. Here, too. A lot of frozen yuck this morning. We need these inside options for our climates. Best wishes to you Eboni!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
