areellady - just think about how fab you are going to feel and look when your done with the program! I really would like to try it, but I am really intimidated by running. I tried a couple of weeks ago and I only lasted 60 seconds at 4.5 mph. Then I walked at 3.0 mph for 5 minutes, then I had to quit! I'm hoping I can start couch to 5k within the next few months though!

jm, I am sooooo ready to quit. I am sooooo hating it. I love it afterwards but hate every single second of doing it. I guess I will just take it one day at a time and see what happens.

Keep going D, it'll be so worth it. I am so envious that you are running! I keep watching what your up to and trying to get up the nerve to start up the program!!! I'm gonna give myself at least a few more weeks.

Hey Rainer, I've been strength training for a couple of weeks now and I ended up hiring a personal trainer because I didn't have a clue as to what I was doing...

She told me if you want to melt fat and make your muscles look really cut, you just have to burn them out, to the point where you can't even move your arm (or leg, or back, or abs, or whatever muscle you are working on).

I was doing your typical 3 sets of 12 of all kinds of exercises and she said no no no! I'm now using much lighter weights (5lbs for upper body, 30-50lb for lower body) and doing 50 or so reps and 2 sets with no breaks in between.

I'm not telling you that you should do this, but my trainer was telling me that your better off (me personally) working out this way for now, while you still have over 50+lbs to lose. Once you've lost all the weight that you want to, and want to build muscle you can slowly increase weight and decrease on reps.

And she makes me do pushups. The real ones, not the girl ones. I couldn't do one on our first session together, I was basically just holding myself up. She told me to work up to 20 the first week by trying to do them every single day. I did 1 pushup every 1/2 hr the first week. That was 3 weeks ago. Last night I did 5 sets of 15 pushups (I had to take a break in between the pushups!); I felt so strong.

I only see her twice a week, but I feel like it has made such a huge difference. We do a combination of free weights, and the gym machines, and she wants me doing one hour of cardio five days a week, and the days that I see her she wants me doing 1/2 hour of cardio. I'm still working on that, its hard for me to get to the gym every single day, but now I'm working most days, 5-6. I need at least 1 day off!

Di - I've noticed that when I'm really stressed I can't eat. My band just freezes up and nothing but liquids goes down. But it only last a couple of hours, so its not that big of a deal. My knee was hurting after spin last thursday, but I was fine the next day. I just hope that it won't be a repeat thing. Sorry about your ankle. Hope it feels better...

Sun morn - 60min spin class.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
