totally unacceptable

The weather here in lower slower DE, that is.

I am bundled up like the Michelin Tire Man and still freezing.

What are you guys doing for exercise these days? I can't afford a gym membership . . . and there's no way I'm going to try to brave the outdoors for walking right now. Can you recommend any good DVD's or tv shows that I can exercise along to? I'm a novice *****ally can't overexert myself without paying the price a day later (due to my fibromyalgia).

But I started the year off with a commitment to get back on the horse, so to speak, when my weight gain reached 191 on Jan. 1st (my highest since RNY in summer of 2004). This morning I was back down to 186 and I want to keep this momentum going.

Hope you all are staying warm and behaving yourselves!

Leslie Sansone walk fit video is a nice one.  I'd do the old Tae Bo videos if I could get a hold of em.  The new ones are over the top, but the old ones really do the trick without overkill.  Also, check out Gilad Bodies (free on cable/direct tv).  He's simple, consistent and offers strength training (at home) that will build muscle and burn calories.

I hope this helps.

I find that on the RNY board I don't get responses to my comments.  I'm wondering why.

Hey B.J.

I am new to DE..well kind of.  We have been at Dover for about 3 months now.  I am very tired of the cold. We just came from Texas.  Had my RNY in 2008. I am a walker and I just cant bring myself to go and walk in this cold.  If you have a WII the WII fit and WII fit+ are both really good exercise.  I do them when my body allows me too.  I have bad back and hip problems.  I was wondering how you were tested for your Fibromyalgia?  Sometimes I think that is more what I have!  Doctor gave me script for Celebrex but it upsets my stomach as I have Ulcers.  Anyway hope this helps.  Michelle

Was in LSD last week and couldn't believe how cold it was.....and the wind!  Go to the Rehoboth Mall and walk it.  Six times around is a mile!  The stores there are not very appealing so little distraction

hello

 i'm ellen and i just joined this online group.  i go to a PT center monday-thursday but
friday sat and sun i am on my own.  i like to dance around the house with my ipod on and even
continue dancing while i watch tv.  we also do wii fit in the house as well.  if you have steps
you can walk up and down multiple times as fast as you can.  do weight lifting by carrying around cans of different weights as you can tolerate while dancing or walking... you could even
get ankle weights to wear around the house while doing everyday chores....

 hope it helps..  i've lost 205lbs so far and have another 20 to go before my continued plastic
surgery this summer... wish me luck!

PLanet Fitness is only $10 a month and no committment. I joined and I love it. It's huge and machines are always available without a wait. That is one thing I did not like about the YMCA, along with its cost.. There are several locations, not sure where you live, but I know of the one in Wilmington on the waterfront and in Newark.
