For us in Florida, this 36 degree weather is cold..BRRRRRRR

Okay Dave, I have to agree with you there -- 36 degrees is cold, and especially for Florida. You have finally earned a little sympathy..........

I got another workout session in today, and Jody (LadyBugRed) I am borrowing your exercise icon for the rest of this month because I think it is adorable!!!

Have a great evening everyone!

Dave I saw news reports on freezing weather and Florida and thought of you out there walking. I don't like walking outside anyways and where I live it rarely gets above freezing during the winter months, so I REFUSE to do it.

Got in another workout with Bob and the folks with the Biggest Loser. I am getting much better with that video. I didn't get in the second workout, but I will tomorrow. My BF is pretty sick right now and I am thinking that I am starting to come down with it myself. I took a nap for the first time in a LONG time. Before surgery I took a nap everyday. Now they are pretty rare. I guess that is a good NSV!

Everyone is doing great. Keep up the good work.

I'm back, well rested, and ready to get serious about my exercise again. You all have done an amazing job of staying with your programs through the holidays and even stepping it up. It motivates me. My exercise class starts on Jan. 14 and I'm really looking forward to introducing some variety. Meanwhile, I'll be walking. Today I got in 40 minutes.

I got in two hours on Sunday. I knew I wasn't going to be able to work out on Friday this week, so I meant to go Thursday night after work. But we were still in that freezing spell, so a copped out and felt guilty about it afterwards.

(Since I'm new to this, is the second number supposed to be your exercise sessions goal ?)

Hi guys!

Since I've already joined and started going to the gym, I figure it would be good to be accountable to someone! Here's my gameplan:

- Gym for cardio and weights 3-4 times a week (4-5 on high end). This includes 20-30 minutes cardio and either upper or lower body resistance training

- belly dance class Monday nights (90 minutes total)

- walking at the dog park Sat/Sun mornings (2-3 laps minimum)

It was a real eye-opener for me rejoining the gym after 2 years. On the positive side, those 60+ lbs lost really made a difference in my energy level! On the negative side, I'm definitely weaker and if the caliper test is anywhere near accurate, I've lost a lot of muscle mass. But, you KNOW I'll be turning that around!

Counting Sunday as the start of the week, I've got 1 workout done for the week and 1 dog park trip. Tonight, I'll try to squeeze in some time at the gym before dance class (if I can make enough time, including dinner and walking the pooch).

My insurance kicks back $20 of my membership fees if I get in 12 workouts a week, which is a great incentive!

Keep up the great work everyone! You're an inspiration!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
