Recommended Posts

I am dying here!!! You guys crack me up!!!

Leatha- so glad you were able to get to Curves with the rain and all. Now, that is commitment. I always feel great when I am there. It's a blast. I am trying to make myself go at least 5 times a week.

OOPS, I need to moderate my own post! I was only talking about flabby upper arms and what type of exercise will tone them! I promise, no sexual innuendos! And the only rocks I have are in my head!

I go to bed early and y'all have a party! I just can't win! lol

Laurie - I have lost 20 pounds, but will probably gain a little back when I get put on more food, hopefully TODAY! Thanks for asking.

I think I need some movies of all this stuff y'all are talking about!

Betty, Would that count as exercise? You know watching those kind of movies. If so that MIGHT be something I can do! :laugh

Well, now that you mention it, I have heard if you imagine doing the exercises your brain thinks you did and you gain the benefits! Now, I bet we could all come up with some good images of that! Yup, I think a GOOD movie might just do the trick! :)

Hello everyone,

Yesterday I ran 3 laps in the gym with the kids. I did snake drills which dealt with running. We also did line drills which we ran from one end of the gym to the next. I did 20 situps, 10 juming jacks, alot of different types of stretches and some pilates.

Cut it out, Selecia, you're making me tired! What are snake drills? They sound like something the Crocodile Hunter keeps in the shed.

Marie, if I can stop laughing long enough to find a photo of that triceps exercise somewhere, I'll try to post it . . .

I missed exercising yesterday because we were canning tuna. :guess It seems I always have an excuse. :) But tightening all those jar lids should help with the bat wings under my arms.

I bought bat wings for my halloween costume -- really -- I should have just used the ones I have. :laugh I actually am looking forward to dressing up -- showing off I guess, which is so NOT like me. I am the stereotypical shrinking violet in a crowd, trying to find a job to do so no one will give me undue attention. That is certainly changing!

I did a double lap around the park during yesterday morning's walk. This challenge requires me to exercise Monday, Wednesday and Friday. So far, so good. I don't worry about weekends since I'm so active cleaning & riding my motorcycle... as long as I keep moving.

Wow, Becky, 69 pounds! That is amazing! Canning is a lot of work and definitely counts as exercise! I'm with you on that "shrinking violet" thing. (Take a zero, instead of giving an oral report.) But this forum is bringing me out of it. Kind of scary, isn't it?

      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!
