So I KNOW I can do this, CAN YOU? WANNA PLAY? I will check in and out every Thursday (if I can) to motivate, and remind yall, but let's MOTIVATE each other!!! Are you GAME? Post your reply or you can email me I KNOW I NEED WHEN IT COMES TO EXERCISING! Am I the only one who feels this way? ~*~*~Beth~*~*~ 329.4/266/140 http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/profile.phtml?N=H1077226915

I have to force myself to do it, but I find the more I do...the more of a habit it's becoming and the more I lose & more I go, the more I want to go and am glad I did. I try to go at least 3 times a week...sometimes 4 or 5 ...also doing weight training and swimming when I can. You were doing great on your exercise and onederland was great motivation for me. I don't keep up with how far I go but how long ....but I'll be happy to chime in when I can. Keep up the good work!! Christie

I'm in. I want to walk 2 miles atleast 4 times a week. And I ride a stationary bike so I think I can do it. This week I have walked 2 times, so I need motivation to make it long term and keep doing it more and more. Jenn

WOW ALRIGHTY NOW LADIES I will post an update each Thursday night between 7-9pm (central time) on the MAIN board. I have posted this thread on so many boards, I won't have time to update each individual board. Is that with yall? Alrighty Let's ~*~*~Beth~*~*~ 329.4/266/140 http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/profile.phtml?N=H1077226915

I'll play, Beth... as I seem to be slipping a bit -- GREAT WAY TO KEEP ME MOTIVATED, THANK YOU, MY FRIEND!

actually i hate to exercise but i do it because it is the only way. If we are eating better and healthier, exercise in some form needs to be a part of the journey, i am restricted on lifting weights and doing sit ups for 4 more weeks so i been doing the treadmill and bike and stuff like that and i find it boring but the differnce is if i want success i need to burn calories and raise my heart rate. My motivator is to reach my goal, i will be trying to get more creative and in 4 more weeks doing the things i like which is weight lifting.

Beth, Count me in. I only exercised once this week so far and that was last night. I walked two miles in 35 minutes, not too shabby, but I must do this more often. My plan is to walk again this evening and hopefully Saturday morning. TGIF, Kim

i walk between 1-5 miles everyday and i also ride my excersise bike for 10-15 miles everyday some times i do take weekends off from my treadmill and bike but still go out walking with family lol while shopping

I'm game! I've really slacked off the past couple of weeks and need to stay motivated. Mary Ellen -48 pounds since surgery -73 pounds total
