Topic: RE: Exercise Poll - How much per week?

I go to the gym 3 days a week. I do the bike for 20 minutes (can't walk much b/c of a bad hip) and then I do 2 reps of 15 on 15 different machines. When I got measured on 4/14 I found out that I've lost a total of 20.5 pounds and 19 inches since 2/9! Since it's finally starting to warm up a bit here, I'm actually skipping the routine on Saturday's and doing the whole pool, hot tub, steam room, and sauna thing. I need to build up the muscles around my hip before I get it replaced on 6/13 and the water helps that a lot! I'm now 158 from 288. Yep... I've lost 130 pounds in less than 9 months! I'm only 18 away from my primary goal. With all of the flab on my gut, I bet I'd lose most of that with a TT! *LOL*

Hi there! I go to the gym for an hour 3 days a week, and walk 2 or 3 miles a day the rest of the week. I do all the walking I can the rest of the time - always park at the BACK of parking lots, etc. Blessings! Jill 253/166/140

Topic: Exercise Poll - How much per week?

Hello August friends! I was just wondering if everyone in our "month" was exercising regularly, and I thought I'd take an informal poll. 1. What do you do for exercise? 2. How many times a week do you exercise? How long? I work out at Curves for Women at least 3 times a week. It's a 30-minute workout on a circuit of machines and aerobic activity. Sometimes I squeeze in a 4th visit, and sometimes I get a little walking in. But, on a REGULAR basis, I do the Curves thing. Thanks for sharing with me.

Topic: RE: I didn't know y'all were here!!

I just asked my insurance carrier Regence Blue Shield, they said they cover the tt if it is a health problem so i think with all the back pain i have it should be covered heaven knows i have alot of fat hanging there. So what day did you have your WLS.Mine was August 31, 2004. I need 2 more pounds and i will finally be below 200 lbs YIPPIE YEAH ! It has been 20 years sence i was below 200lbs my daughter was 2 she is now 22. So long enough i forgot what it was like. But i know one thing i am enjoying how i am feeling i'm able to do yard work all day before i suffer.I don't huff and puff when i walk 10 feet HOW WONDERFUL ! Well gotta go best of luck ! Vicki

Topic: RE: 8/16ers - 35 week check in

Hi Judy, You look absolutely fab u lous. I have been off the board for a couple of months and your new picture is awesome. Keep up the great work. I need to get back on track I hit that 6 month aniversary and got way outta control. I don't dump can eat almost anything and everything and for the last month I did. I guess it was a type of rebellious mode. If it was on my list as a no no food I tried it. Can we say no CARB CONTROL whatsovever. I didn't even weigh myself for the 7th month. So this week I'm back on the protein train. This is a blessing that I will not abuse again. Anywhoo down 75 lbs. Continued success Jackie
