2009 Exercise !
I really wanted Wii and Wii Fit but couldn't afford the whole package. We already have playstation II so we just went out and bought Dance Dance Revolution. I just tried it and realized I don't have alot of rhythm !!!!!! I think it's going to be alot of fun, and burning calories to boot !!!!! Wish me luck !

Hi Patsy
I noticed you are from Dartmouth - I live in Sackville.
Are you interested in getting together in HRM for a weight loss support group meeting. I had a couple people contact me and I am going to chk with the Halifax Weight loss clinic again to see if there meetings have started.
Do you travel to NB to catch up with the gang when they have meetings each month ?
How are you doing post op ? You are certainly off to a good start with your Exercise.
My daughter got Wii for Christmas so my husband bought me the Wii Fit - I have only done a couple things so far- waiting for everyone to go back to school and work! LOL
I want it to myself and to try to figure it all out.
My favourite Christmas gift for exercise is my new Recumbent Bike- I put it in my bedroom and yup its in the way but I get on it 2 or 3 times a day. In the winter I hate going down to our family room in the basement and waiting for it to warm up so I find with it up here its comfy ( I am not cold) and its so quiet I can even watch a show on TV while I exercise.
I also bought myself some cardio dance dvds and cant wait to start them - again I want to do it and get in a routine but with the caos of Christmas and company and New Years hard to find a spot in a room to dance - LOL - we took down our tree today so its getting a lil less crowded around here. I loved dancing and did it for years hoping I can dance those calories away once again !!
Heres to a Fit 2009

Yup I'm in Colby Village. I'd love to get together. I don't go to the groups in NB cause it's a 4-5 hour drive. 3 hours for my appts is enough driving for me. I feel I'm on track with my progress post-op. At least I hope so. I have really good restriction for someone with only one fill and hope it will work for me. I'll be glad to get back to my normal routine. for example, today, I didn't eat enough. We went out visiting and didn't get my normal meals and snacks. I will pay for that. "but back to work tomorrow and regular lunches etc. I have a sister in Sackville. She's in Millwood. what part are you in?

I am 5 minutes from Sunnyside Mall so very close to all amenities.
I will let you know what develops from the interest and if nothing more develops than you and I getting together I am game - I know that our surgeries are different but we are on the same journey thats for sure.
I am home during the days- I have a 12 year old daughter who goes to school in Bedford and my husbands office is in Burnside.
I know what you mean about holidays and all the sched changes..... I realized today I am way behind on water cause I was talking to many relatives on the phone all day - I usally just sip away while I am on the phone but now that I jump on the bike when I am on the phone I guess I forgot about my water ! LOL
I will be in touch for sure,
take care

We already have a Wii and I may be getting the Wii Fit for my birthday (April). Catherine says it should really help during the weight loss period, especially for helping with your balance - center of gravity changes when our bodies shrink!
The kids put the Christmas tree away a few days ago and my Air Walker got moved up to the living room so have started my "exercise". I do a bit of a warm up, go for a bit on the walker and then some stretching afterwards. Not a lot yet but more than usual.
My mom told me tonight that I look like I have already lost 15-20 lbs, lol. Sounds nice but the scale only shows a few down so maybe I really did gain some muscle from coughing so much!
Plus I have been increasing my water and now getting over 7 cups a day - which of course has increased my bathroom visits
Taking my daily multivitamin, some extra vit C and some iron (doc thought it was a little low so better to build it before surgery). Have even started drinking a cranberry tea each day to help clean me out and Ativia yogurt to ensure I have the right bacteria working for me, lol.

I can not claim this to be true or if it was just luck on their part.
However, a couple ladies told me that they started their biotin supplement before surgery as there clinic had told them it would help.
I know the drs say to most WLS patients to expect hair loss and it happens after all major surgeries and pregnancies too but they both claimed that they didnt go thru that and attributed it to starting the biotin before surgery.
I wish I had known and I could have tried it cause I sure could have used the back up if it indeed works..... I am sure if you talked to a nutritionist or researched it some on the internet you could find out if it has merit.
Just wanted to pass this along in case I can save you some - uuummm Hair! LOL
take care,
