I think that it is amazing that you work out, whatever you can. Some people never work out and complain that the band is not working for them.

Yeah that is one of the reasons I am spending so much time in the gym. I want this thing to not only work for me. But I want my body to tone up as I lose weight.

I was banded on 12/19 I bought a treadmill been using it, but I need to tone my stomach and my arms bad so I took the first step and called to set up an appointment(they will go thru all the equipment and set up on excises for a good workout on your problem areas) today for a wellness center, I go next tuesday at 4pm want to go at least 3 times a week. I am down 27 pds so I am happy about that.

Just wanted to let you all in on an update. I bought a membership to a local gym and have been going everyday since I joined. That is until I got hit with the flu, which I still am coughing and currently am a snot factory! I hate being sick!

Good for both of you with making the commitment to the gym.

What works for me is non food rewards.

Every 2 weeks I go to the gym 10 times I get a reward. Like a pedicure, Or a day at the movies, One of my rewards is a paid sesion with a trainer. Those kind of rewards work great for me.

Good luck and keep up the good work.

I started working out 3 times per week with a personal trainer. He comes to my house and brings all the equipment with him. I no longer have an excuse. Any aerobic exercise I do on top of this (eg. walking, biking, swimming, eliptical, etc.) is just a bonus.

He is really working my abs and even those lower abs that give such a big problem. I really see the difference. My weight loss has been good but the inches I have lost are amazing. I lost 2 inches off my abdominal area in just the first month.

I live in the Toronto, Canada area and would be happy to pass his contact info to anyone who wants it. Just message or e-mail me.

I'm a lucky lady.

WEll I did it I went for my orientation last night and I went to night for my first work out, I went from 6-7pm and I loved it only 2 other ppl there so all the equipment you didn't have to fight over or "wait" for I mean lol. then when I got done there I came home and walked 45 mins on my treadmill.

In case anyone is interested the trainer yesterday told me it is better to walk slower if you have to but work up to 45 mins no matter what speed b/c he said when you walk 45 mins your body keeps burning calories even after you stop walking. I was walking a 20 min mile but slowed it done just a very little and did 45 min tonight. I just thought it was interesting and very helpful information.
