Sweet Child 'O Mine by Guns N Roses my god, that song is beautifully written

i have always hated eating in the morning. for years and years i ate poptarts or granola bars as i was driving to school or work. we all know those are nothing but carbs and sugar, which are off my diet permanently. after the surgery i had to drink so many nasty protein shakes for the first 6 weeks that i got to where i…

you are ahead of me by .5 lb! but i'll be there by next tuesday! congrats on breaking the barrier!!

yes thanks everyone for all the hard work. i'm sure glad this group is continuing on.

wow, you look great and i bet you feel better too!

you people must not be going to the right aquacise class. i go three days a week and we do stretching for about 15 minutes and then we do 30-35 minutes of straight-up exercise. we work our butts off. and then we cool down with some more stretching. i use the water aerobics/water calestetics and log it as 30 minutes. trust…

on tuesday i tried the elliptical machine for the first time. that thing is EVIL! oh my upper thighs burned after only 10 minutes. but, i'm getting right back on it tomorrow.

i wouldn't be a good moderator, but i sure do want to stay in the group. i love this group, you are all great people.

i finally got up the nerve to use the arm machines at the gym (have no idea what they are really called). i did 3 sets of 10 reps on both of them. my shoulders feel it!

for me it was the pain and shortness of breath that made me think exercise was out out of reach for me. when you struggle to get out of the chair or off the couch, walk (limp) to the bathroom and back and feel out of breath by the time you get back to the couch, even the thought of "exercise" seems impossible. i weighed…

ok, walked 1/2 mile outside yesterday, 1/2 mile on treadmill today and swam 1/2 mile doing laps. slow progress this month, but my knee is getting better.

1/2 mile swimming laps today

i know that it is a closed group. but it is not a secret group. i never thought about making it a secret group. it is a nice, supportive group filled with my personal friends, their friends and people from here on mfp. give us a shot. it's called Down with the Pounds, Up with Friends.

walked a mile, nice and easy, on the treadmill

i had my sleeve on june 11 of this year and i have had no bad side effects. i am so happy i did this. i have lost 92 lbs so far and am down 3 sizes.

well, i did .25 mile walking today and did my aquacise class. my knee is feeling ok.

hi! just keep up that attitude of "nothing is going to stop me" and you will be ok. i understand completely because after years and years of sitting around doing nothing and getting fatter and fatter, i too have began to exercise and eat right and lose weight. on wednesday i fell of my bike and hurt my left knee (formerly…

oh i am so pissed at myself! on wednesday i fell off my bike and really hurt my left knee. the e.r. did a x-ray and nothing is broken, but i have to wrap it and ice and elevate and stay off of it for a week. ugh!!! so on tuesday and wednesday i am going back to the gym and going to swim laps to at least get some exercise…

as soon as you are cleared for exercise, go to the pool and do stretching and light exercise and swim.

now that sounds like a protein drink i could actually get down.

ok i'm in for october. 12 miles is the goal this month. woohoo! oct. 1: 1/2 mile on treadmill

ok i'm in for october. 12 miles is the goal this month. woohoo!

1 mile on treadmill today 11.25 miles total 3.25 miles past my goal!!! i am so glad i did this challenge. bring on October!
