Exercise Accountability Penpal!

Hey All! I'm 9 months out of surgery, and I am finding it difficult to motivate myself to exercise. I figured that there are probably tons of people out there experiencing the same thing, so I just wanted to see if anyone wanted a penpal. It doesn't matter if you are pre-op or post op, we all need to exercise! We could email each other and hold each other accountable to exercise on a regular basis. If you are a pre-op, I would be happy to tell you about my experiences, and if you are a post-op I would love to compare notes. If anyone is interested, please email me! ~Jenny

Hi Jenny, Iam Yolanda my friends call me Yo Iam 20 months out since my surgery and so far have lost 111pounds so far but iam doing it slowly. And i here u when it comes to the excercising. Since i also have multiple sclerosis so am taking it slow as i said a line up. :0) And i would love to have a penpal to be accountable for excerciseing daily. You can email at [email protected] Hope to hear from you soon. Yo

Hey Jenny - You are like the ultimate penpal everyone should have! I would love to have a "bud" to kick my butt when I need it and to keep in line if they need it! I am preoperative - scheduled for April 18th, but I know I need a constant motivation to get me going and keep me going. I am doing physical therapy (medically supervised exercise, basically) right now 3 x a week which is cool because I still have about 15 pounds to lose preop, but I NEVER want to stop exercising (HAHAHAHAHA, I make myself laugh) Exercise is just really not fun - I will still say that even after my weight loss! So, it takes some umpffff to jumpstart yourself sometimes - so, getting to know you would be wonderful so that we can support each other!! My e-mail is [email protected] - write anytime! By the way!!!.... A-hem, 'scuse me.......did you do your exercise today!?!?!?!? ....huh? .... huh? Did ya????????? (Giggles) Take care - look forward to chit-chatting! Gina
