I am doing the same thing I was doing before. Aerobic interval training. It is 1 minute of weights and one minute of cardio. It lasts 50 minutes and I do it 5 days a week. I used to do it 7 days a week, but lately I have been taking the weekends off. I really like it because I feel like it gets every muscle in my body. I hate exercising really, but I like feeling fit.

Twice a week I do at 20-30 minutes on some cardio machine ( whichever I'm least bored with) followed by an hour of strength training with a personal trainer. (She really kicked my butt yesterday, ouch!) I try to swim for 20-30 minutes two other days, but don't always make that. Then, for my fun exercise, I ride Teddy (my horse) at least 4 days a week. He really makes me work; by the time I've kept him working for the 30 minutes he needs, I'm covered with sweat, even though it's below freezing. To keep life interesting, I'm training for an "indoor triathlon" next month. It's a 10 minute swim, 20 minute stationary bike, and 15 minute run on the indoor track. The winners are the ones who cover the most distance. The times are short enough that I shouldn't have trouble keeping moving, but I'm not planning on winning. Hey, that more than I thought I was doing. Cool.

Hi there to all my friends, I have enjoyed this site so much I can't begin to put it in words. Thanks so much all of you. Here is my problem. Anyone who knows me, knows the hard time I had with digestion for the longest. I had hernia surgery in September. After 13 months post-op and down -113pds I am beginning to eat normal again. Normal meaning I can now eat meat. I make sure I chew well. I fill very fast with the right foods. You all know the crunchy carbs go down easily. I good food fills me up fast.I can now make a plate and eat like a normal person just less as far as portions. I fear I will gain weight. I am not eating much, but just eating normal. Did any of you guys have this fear? I guess now that I am feeling better and not all the time I am scared. I am maintaining my weight of 132 pds with a loss of -113 pds down from 245 pds Can someone please give me some advice here Lorraine
