It only takes one person, no matter who, to get another one motivated. So, if you do your exercise, regardless of what it is, post it and it will motivate someone else to move it too! :D:D:D

MOVE IT AND LOSE IT :banana :banana :banana

Leatha I am going through the same thing as far as my pulse being too high the last two nights. Tonight, it was in the 80% the first time I checked and the next time it was over the Way over the 90!!!! They made me stop. I really didn't feel like I was that over exerting. I was still talking-I thought that was supposed to be a sign that you are ok. I do not have High BP or anything as serious as a pulmonary embolism(whatever in the hell that is!?) ;-) but I am frustrated. My Curves lady said that it is probably high because I have been under a ton of stress with Steven being out of work. Could that be it? Anywho-she said I needed to go to the dr.

On the LIGHTER side of things----I HAVE LOST 5 ---- COUNT THEM ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE POUNDS!!!!!! I had to get off and on the scale three times before I could believe it!!! ;-)

I did 30 minutes on the motel treadmill, then stopped at the outlet mall and bought a new exercise outfit. :D Size Large (Down from XXL) :D Now I will look hot (not sweaty) when I exercise!

It sounds like everyone is doing great! Way to go, Ladies!

I'm back!!!! And I finally met my own challenge!

I have been to the gym every morning for the past 3 days. I have been doing 35 minutes or about 3 miles on the elliptical trainer. Then on Wednesday I did a full lower body weight work out - I am still sore from that one. Yesterday I did a full uper body weight work out (chest/back/shoulders) Today, since I was sore, no weights, but I added another 20 minutes on the stationary bike for 8 miles.

I have to go out of town tomorrow for a conference, and I won't be back home until Wednesday night. I could tell you that I'm going to use the hotel training facilities - but it would be a lie.

I am going to use the spa though - to get a facial and a massage!!

Good going, girlies! Where are the men today? I met my exercise challenge for the whole week, yippee! And today's my 6 month weigh-in, so I'm actually skipping around the office with joy!

Betty, I wouldn't get another port, but we all know how fickle our little bands are. I hear people suddenly lose restriction. I lose restriction, but it seems to come back just in time. I'm on constant alert. If my restriction goes away, people on the 5 Freeway better pull over, cuz I'll be speeding to Tijuana or a new port!

Gosh, I have been walking on the treadmill, I guess I just forgot to post them. :laugh I try to walk everyday, I think I have only missed a couple of days since I have been banded.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
