:thumbup:Hi everyone in order to support each other and provide some type of motivation. Maybe we can weigh-in on fridays and report our exercise activities and offer tips and advice!

So lets check in on Fridays!!!:confused:

p.s Happy New Years! Much success to all of us! Please know that you have all touched my heart and I find this site very useful, inspiring and informative. Thank you for allowing me to be part of your journey!!

I do an hour of cardio, like jogging, walking on the treadmill(at a speed of 3.8 miles an hr or above) or i do 60 minutes on the elleptical machine with an incline of level 7 or above and 100 resistance. Then i lift weights, about 30 to 35 minutes. I drink a lot of Water as well. Let me know if you need anything else. hope you are all doing well :yikes:

FYI I go to the gym 5 to 6 days a week. About three times a week I do circuit training in the evening(squats, jumping jacks..etc).

I dont have a trainer. I watch youtube videos for fitness tips and subscribed to self and women's fitness magazine. Or I'll ask a sexy guy at the gym for help hehe.

I am soo jealous, take me to florida!!!!

I didnt have my sugery yet but i came across this post and I love this idea keep up the good work,I will be checking in for now on

Palm Desert sounds lovely right about now. I'm already tired of winter and have a very long way to go.

I go to Gold's Gym at least 4 times/week. I do 30 min treadmill (alternating walking & jogging), 15-20 min of strength (one time upper body, next time lower), and then 15 min on the elliptical. I do crunches on an exercise ball at home, and walk the dogs. I've been considering getting a trainer at least on occasion. It might give me a little more variety.

Enjoy the sunshine! I'm appropriately jealous.

Thanks Karen - I always think I need a trainer, when what I need is to get off my butt and get to the gym and do more cardio than it takes to walk 20 minutes with DH at a stroll's pace. thanks.

I knew you had to be putting out a great deal of effort at the gym Love. I don't think I'm able to do all that you do (I'm a lot older:tongue2:) But I can do more than I do, so I'll commit to 3 times at the gym this week and I'll continue my "strolls" with DH. I did go last week to the gym and got on the elliptical at 3.8 for 20# - no resistence and no elevation. I thought that was tough:redface: so I'm going to have to toughen up.

My work is cut out for me.

Good morning!!! TGIF!

Down 1.5 this week. It's not what I was losing, but I'll take it. I go in for an appt next Wednesday and think I'll ask for a fill although my diet and exercise haven't changed much.

Well, I guess the Palm Springs vacation did me no favors. No loss this week. But I'm pressing on. Way to go Love:thumbup:, Way to go Karen -- I think 1.5 pounds is fantastic and where I sit this week I'd embrace it. :tt2:

Put me down for a loss of 2.6#! I am FINALLY in the 220's!!!!!! 229.1 to be exact!

:scared2:

i can't subtract?

Yeii Julie!!!! It feels so good to hit those lower 200ish numbers! Sooooooo happy for you!

ok I am craving a burger, but I know I shouldnt and I wont! lol.

I went out to eat today and I was so scared I was going to blow it. I was absolutley RELIEVED when I relized that the band wouldn't let me completely pig out. It was just another reason I love my band! I had three tortilla chips with salso and ONE taco and I was done. It was AWESOME!!!!:scared2:

OK guys, I know it's not Friday anymore, but I weighed in this a.m. and was down a little. Hope you don't mind if I post it today --Slow but sure, that's me.

Of course we dont mind!

Down another 3.6 lbs. 225.5 and that makes exactly 60 lbs since my pre-op!

Down a little over 4 pounds, to 207lbs funny thing is, I didnt go to the gym this entire week due to some construction work being done.
