:help: I need an attitude adjustment. I just can't seem to bring myself the excercise. I am more active...but not exactly excercising. Can't afford a gym or the Y right now. I do have a treadmill at home...but I absolutely HATE it!

Someone tell me why I need to excercise right now anyway. I'm only 5 weeks post op and have only lost

20 #. Surely it would be ok to wait awhile longer...right???

the gym is disgusting. everyone there has ipods, be-bopping to their favorite music, while they ride different machines, chatting with their neighbors, lusting for innocent health freaks as they walk back and forth. sweating. news and sports shows on the monitors. more sweaty, sex-starved people walking past you. it's absolutely horrible.

do not go to the gym, and certainly do not make a habit of it

Bad monkey, no banana. haha.

<p>i am a very self-concious person and i somehow push my lazy butt out the door and to the gym (when i do have time) and worrk out on the treadmill (my fave) and sometimes the bike or strenght training.. Music helps it alll... afterwards i reward myself by hping in thier pool and hot tub ..... ahhhhh so relaxing

The longer I've been banded, the more I believe wholeheartedly that exercise is the KEY to good results. Without it you just wont lose 100% of your excess weight. Nuff said.

This is so true..in fact I don't know anyone that has reached their goals that did not include exercise. Besides you look so much better too. :rose:

if nothing else Lunge (exercise - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

do it at home. do what you can. work up. add weights if you want. works everything in the body than an elliptical trainer or stair stepper or tredmill does, at 100% less the cost. :-)

i like the gym because the machines are the lazy man's way. how do you think i got this fat!? :-)

God Bless Us.
