Do they have one of those things? I could use a little tracker, that would be kindof cool!Originally Posted by CatsAreBetter
Hehe, we need to start one of those little walking men to record all the miles you're walking!
Thanks!! I swear by that Yourself Fitness! I just love it!Originally Posted by icklemiss21

Me and my neighbor started out slow too! But that program is really nice and you can tell her you need to slow down or speed up!Originally Posted by CatsAreBetter
Good job!!!! I should probably get some sort of "workout video" but.. I'm thinking I really just sort of need to start out kind of slow. I did start doing more walking and climbing a few steps here and there over the past few weeks because I was taking public transportation, but now that my sister is back in town, I won't be taking the metro. I'm going to have to get some other sort of exercise in somewhere.

I'll be over tonight!Originally Posted by CatsAreBetter
Ohh, maybe I'll try that then. You'd think I'd use that treadmill in the middle of my dining room...
And I'll be there Tuesday!Originally Posted by icklemiss21
The same as the elliptical in my office

So, Scott and I struggle to put it in the back of the Scion (while Mr. Bowflex is like lifting it with one finger indicating how light it is).. and Scott follows me back to my house where we then try to figure out how to unload it. So, we have this bright idea.. which is we'll pull it out of the car, and upend it (btw, all the pieces move so it doesn't stay flat and rigid), and figure we'll walk it to my townhouse steps where we'll walk it up a step at a time. This was all good until we got it to the steps, where Scott and I discovered, it's much taller than us, and much heavier than we thought. So, we try to tilt it and "walk" it up the steps... only to find out that it's way to heavy for one of us to support while the other tries to guide and pull... and it's much too long to fit if we try walking it.
So, standing around discussing this for a few minutes (all the while holding the treadmill up).. we decide that indeed, we will go forth and call any (and all) our friends to see which ones we can sucker into helping... amazing how few friends one has when it involves moving a treadmill (currently sitting outside, on the steps, with the threat of rain..). Finally (after five hours of conspicuously missing friends), my dear sweet young friend travels all the way to my house from base, says, let's do this, and the three of us heft it up and into the dining room. I finally pulled up the "arms" and put the braces on it... plugged it in, tested it.. about two months later. I hopped off the treadmill after testing all the inclines and to see how the belt was working...it took probably about four minutes... and said, "welp, that was my workout."
And other than to step over it to get to my desk... I have not been on that thing since.
It probably was swelling (we know you eat too much hospital food!!!). Just take it easy and don't try to do too much at once. We don't want you to injure yourself!Originally Posted by kluchetta
Well, I got out of the hospital and was about 5 - 7 pounds more than when I went in, Ye-Gods!!! But I expect that was just swelling 'cause now I'm 10 pounds less than that - at least I was this morning. Good news - no hip pain! Yay. Maybe once I can walk and all that I will be able to exercise!
It's never fast when it's not something life changing!Originally Posted by CatsAreBetter
Yeah, I'm getting on the bandwagon slowly, lol.

I'm happy with those results - very happy! I'm down to a size 6 and in some pants a size 4. Thing is I have 5.8 lbs left to hit my goal weight and am having trouble with those last few pounds. As most people do. We'll see what happens this week though because I noticed with my last weight recorded that it said it was time to redo my points. Come to find out I should be eating 2 less points a day then I have been eating so I'm thinking by mistake I was on a "maintanence" point level.
Keep your fingers crossed!! I want those last flippin 6lbs gone and be in a size 4 for all my pants!!
