I know what you mean.  The only way I can afford going is because we got a really good discount from work.  I guess that means I can't be changing jobs anytime soon, lol.  I do have a question though.  I was logging my exercise last night and noted that they only give you how many calories you burned for the Cardio.  Do they mean to tell us that all that soreness from the strength training doesn't come with the reward of burning calories too?  And, to add to my whine, I had to really work at it to get my heart rate up to where the dumb machine said I needed to be during the workout, lol.  I never thought I would ever hear myself complain about a resting heart rate of 62 when it was in the 90's before I started losing.  I think you're right about the board.  Once school starts back and everyone gets back on a regular schedule things will pick up.  If you think this board is slow, you should check out some of the others too.  My second favorite place is deader than a door nail.  (Whatever that is supposed to mean).  Have a good weekend.

Yes, Sybul, you have been posting a lot and I appreciate it. It takes more than just one or three to keep things going. I've been thinking about posting silly and absurd just to see if anyone would read it...LOl

I know everyone is busy, what with work, school, and LIFE. It just feels lonely around here without the whole "gang". I'm sure you know what I mean.

Congratulations on getting to the gym. I checked one out last week, but with the taxes due, my trip to Dallas, and company coming, I'm just not sure I can afford it right now. We'll have to wait and see.

Once I do start, I'm NOT looking forward to sore muscles. But wait....I HAVE no muscles to get sore!

Hey Susan!  I'm a "newbie" from last night.  Wanted to let you know it was great seeing such awesome inspirations from the post-op patients!  I can't wait until I could be able to join you with great success stories like all the ones from last night.

Also, isn't the walk at 8 am?  The flyer I got from Dr. Baker said Sept. 26 @ 0800.

Shoot!  I can't make it to LR for the meetings.  I might have to look into starting one in this area. 

Wonder how I would go about it?

I have noticed that not many people are posting anymore. 

I was wondering if anyone knows of a support group that meets around hot springs/malvern area?
