Six Month Check-up!

Today is my 6 month check-up. I have lost 68 % of my total weight, and I have 32 lbs to get off by my 1 yr. check-up that will equal 100lbs gone and at my goal weight of 115 lbs. My blood work was ok, but I need to get more water and more protien. Which isn't so bad, Dr. tells me loosing weight will slow down now that it has been 6 months. I need to exercise more. Does anyone have any ideas for winter exercise, I live in Ohio that gets a lot of snow...I don't want to shovel snow for exerise!LOL! Thanks everyone for sharing - I enjoy your honesty and your experiences. debk

hi deb: you're doing wonderfully. the protein is always a challenge and the water is boring but necessary, too. i've gotta get more exercise, too, but am not yet even thinking about winter LOL gotta find the motivation to get out there TODAY. take care, deb. keep up the great work. dorthe

I have so many exercise machines I could start my own gym. I've been using the treadmill (even started jogging on it) and then I use the Ab Lounger which I think is making a difference on by waist. I really enjoy walking outside and like you soon enough will be shoveling snow. My friend is really working hard with water aerobics and walks at the local ice arena. I saw her the other day and was amazed at her results. I don't know if any of those are possibilities but Happy Exercising with whatever you do. Bonny

Congrats Deb - I live in Utah and need exercise in the winter also. I don't mind walking outside in the winter but have joined a gym to get me through. I am using a tread mill and an exercise ball at home. The exercise ball has helped me to have a waist again. Walmart ($17). I sit on it about 15 minutes a day while I am on the computer. Seems to be working. Cardio and fat burning is something else. I also had my 6 month check up. I am ow on B12 shots but all else is within the norm. I have to have lipids and cholesteral drawn on Friday. I will let you know how it comes out. Good luck. Sarah

Thank you Sarah, for the information, I might look into the ball exercise. It's great to hear that your six month check-up went so well. Keep up the good work, good luck on your blood work. Again Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you. deb k.

You're doing perfectly! Congrats!
