Topic: RE: Exercise
Kim,
I am guilty as well. I did start excersing last Sept or so by going to Curves a few times a week but I have not been back since December. I just today went and joined the Y here in Montgomery to get back into a program. It is really getting hard to lose now and I know I have got to get off my a$$ and get busy again. I also think I get in a winter funk and just don't want to do anything during that time of the year. I have lost 6 pounds last month and it looks like it wil be around s6 pounds this month. It is discouraging because I was averaging 9-15 pounds a month before. I think now that I am closer to goal, like you, the motivation is coming back. I did a family membership at the Y so I could work out and have them watch Dakota. I have no excuses not to go. I have a built in babysitter there! I can't answer your question about the loose skin because I don't know if excersice helps or not. I will let you know though if it does. As far as my loose skin is concerned, I can live with my stomach but my thighs....UUGGHH!! I don't even want to wear shorts!
I tell you what, let's make a pack! Let's report our excersice for the day eveyday and try to keep each other motivated. I am game if you are...what about everyone else.

Sounds like a scam to me......of course I think anything that you have to pay up front for is a scam

I tried them all this morning but couldn't honestly answer the questions because some of the answers wouldn't even apply at all. One of them asked what my favorite color was and it was not listed. I couldn't pick a runner up! I will try again to the best of my ability and see what I possible could be.

You hit the nail on the head! This is definately trial and error. What works for me might not necessarily work for you!

Any of you out there ever done anything like this? They want money up front and then money every month to maintain a webpage. Does this sound right???
Any input is appreciated.

Topic: Exercise
Good morning all! I hope everyone is having a great Wednesday. I am 8 & 1/2 months out. Down 106 pounds-within 20-30 pounds of goal......and am ashamed to say, I have not exercised at all in the past 8 months. ....Of course, now that I have all these "skin issues", I really want to start trying to tone up before starting plastics in 6-9 months. I've had great intentions so many times and would do a cardio tape or maybe go on a walk. I attempted once to ride the mountain bike that I HAD to have for Christmas (it ain't true what they say about never forgetting how to ride a bike). Anyway, what exercises do you all do? How do you stay motivated to do them? Have you noticed an improvement in your loose skin as a result? Thanks to all for any info!
hugs,
Kim

Hey Beth, I'm glad you figured it out!! I've been kind of Stuck for a few weeks too.....but to be honest, I haven't been really trying. I know I've been eating way to many carbs, not drinking enough water or exercising.....I'm trying to get motivated again, but end of the month is really stressful at work! (any excuse will do, I guess)
Happy Losing!
Kim

Thanks Beth!
Ive done a few of these before. I always thought of myself more like Rita Hayworth but the pin up site didnt have her as an option and they labeled me a Betty Grable

ABSOLUTELY!!! Trust me, I was preparing my appeal before my paperwork even went to BCBS. I was fully expecting to be denied. I do think as long as you do not give up and fight, they are just testing you to see how far you are willing to take it. Take it to the supreme cout if you have too!
Love,
Sandy
