I can't do the treadmill either. But our fitness center has a pool, and offers several water aerobics classes that I can do. And they are fun! Also our fitness center has a gym, that is a basketball court and a walking track around the edge. They really accomodate a lot of people. What all does your fitness center offer?

Please do not get frustrated and quit. This is a long journey, and maybe you just haven't found the right exercise. I have been doing an hour to 2hours of water aerobics 5 days a week for 2weeks now, and I haven't lost, but I do feel stronger, and friends are noticing a difference in shape. Try adding a little weight…

If you look at my profile, you can see that my caloric goal is over 2400cal/day. Yesterday, I did 2 hours of water aerobics. Which burned over 1100 calories, and I took in over 1500 calories.

Thanks for updating us, I will keep you on my prayer list.

Well, everybody, I went ahead and went to the class. I'm glad that I did, it felt great! Never thought I'd say that about any form of exercise! Now to take care of the mom, and then off to my home to bed. Good night.

That's funny! An f n care bear! I'm sorry, I couldn't help but laugh at the visual!

Tomorrow is only a 45 minute class, and its an indoor heated pool, so the water is never cold. They keep it at 80 degrees. The good news, is that my Dr wife is also in the class, and she has been reporting my progress to him.;-)

I love it with lemon and butter, my mom loves it with Italian dressing. It's good both ways, and you can use light italian.

If you are not very active, like me trying to go from a stationary lifestyle, to at least a slightly more active lifestyle, I do water aerobics, and will continue at least until I build up some stamina. Once I have the stamina, then I'm gonna try Zumba. Exercise should be fun, and shouldn't cause pain. Try water aerobics,…

Worst movie ever........Polish Vampire in Beverly Hills. The main character in named Dupa, means Dumba$$ in Polish. Hysterically stupid!

I don't know if this is what it is, but do you think maybe you're sweating out toxins? Maybe thats what the smell is coming from?

What is a satsuma?

I Will Survive is my favorite song, but your version is pretty awesome!

Me too!

Have you always lived in Chicago, and if so, what high school did you go to?

You can't find workout clothing in my size, in my area. Right now, I wear a 4-5 XLG, and the largest I can find around here is 2X. I wanna look cute too, why can't corporate buyers realize that not all of us want to dress like our grandma! The only thing that is easy to find in my size is scrubs, and I have to wear those…

When I'm at the gym, it is usually for a class, please don't chat during class, I would like to hear the instructions, not who your neighbor is sleeping with, and which hip they just had replaced. One other thing, if you see me there, please note, I always have my phone with me, but that is because my mama has Parkinson's…

Any kind of little Debbie snacks. Oh and I love Annie's MAC and cheese.

Take a couple of lactade, and eat the cheese! That's what I do. ;-)

I love soup, and my crockpot. Certainly gonna try this, thanks for posting it!

My youngest brother is a marathoner, and I worry about him a lot. We have heart disease all up in our family tree. And he has high cholesterol. So sorry about your friend.

The Holy City of Arkansas

When my husband takes out the trash without me nagging him!

Love it, I've read all the books and I have all 3seasons on dvd. Funny thing is I started reading the books because Charlaine Harris is from Arkansas, and I am too! Love her writing!

My favorite is Zuppa Toscana, aka Olive Garden In skillet brown 1 lb Italian sausage, 1chopped onion, and 1tbsp garlic. In stock pot, combine 6 white potatoes sliced with skin left on, add sausage mixture, 1 gallon water, Bacon crumbles, salt and crushed red pepper, simmer until potato soften. Add 1/4 cup heavy cream, and…

What you need, is to take classes from a diabetes educator. You can usually find classes through your local hospital. He needs to take the classes as well.

First let me say this, I am an LPN, my recommendation is go see your general practitioner, today. Second, that was the way one of my nurses aides bowel habits, she went to her Dr, and he told her to start taking miralax, every day, cleared her up in no time.

Sunflower seeds in the hull. Yeah, I know, tons of salt, but that encourages me to drink my water and then some. And it keeps my mouth busy, which in turn keeps me out of trouble. LOL!!!!

What is it that Bob Harper and Jillian Michael both say? You've got to eat to lose. Right? Good luck, I'm rooting for ya!

AWESOME! Absolutely inspiring!
