Her surgery went well. My dad went to the hospital to check on her yesterday and it sounds like she's enjoying the morphene. She'll be home today and my dad's taking the day off to attend to her every need... or watch her sleep.

I also made myself take a walk yesterday. The idea of taking a walk around our neighborhood isn't all that appealing since I live on a hill and it takes about ten minutes to get anywhere flat. But it was good and only snowed for about two minutes before letting up. Good thing I brought a hooded sweatshirt with me. It was a half-hour well spent.

I started working out 2 and a half weeks ago. I've already lost 15 pounds.

Oh well, coulda been a hundred bucks.

Congrats on the weightloss. I'm sure the feeling of having lost 15 pounds is way better than having 100 bucks anyway.

Come and join us.

While exercising etc can my weight redistribute or something? I don't feel or look more toned so I'm somewhat confused.

Well, if you gained the same amount of muscle as fat you lost it won't show up as any difference on the scale, but you will be so much healthier for it. It may take a little longer before you really start seeing the muscle growth, but it'll come. So keep it up!

I'm going through a bit of the same thing. The scale weight is not going to tell me my progress. So I'm going by bodyfat percentage. You might want to look into buying some calipers.

My legs ache, and I'm getting noticeable muscle, I've been getting up at 7am and hitting the hay by 10-11pm at night, and drinking water during the day. I'll post up some pics soon, I guess.

Wow..sounds like you are getting quite a workout everyday. That's great you are seeing progress. And that's the best kind of progress--to notice a difference in how you feel when you do real work.

So, Good job, MoS. It would be fun to see pics when you can get them up.

Amethyst Star: Going uphill is better than flat

I just decided to go join a gym a few days ago...but actually joining it wont happen until later on tonight.

Name: Sandform
Current buddy (if applicable): Searching
Want a buddy?: Yes
Cheat Day (Optional): Hmm. I guess Sunday.
Physical Goals: To get in shape I guess. I would like to be under 200 by the time my brother gets married in august. So I have to lose like 70 pounds in less than 6 months. I went on a fitness crazy trail about two years ago and no matter how hard I worked or how little I ate I couldn't get below 189.
Days you'll exercise: Monday through Friday at least three days a week.
Cardio Routine: An hour on the days I work out.
Weight Routine: None.
Current weight: ....260ish (definately below 270)
Why are you joining? Because I figure why not. I'm a renown yo-yoer. I've gone from 250, to 190, to 250, to 231, all the way up to where I am now so losing weight isnt' a problem for me. The issue is that I move into different houses alot and every time I move I gain a lot of weight.

If anyone needs a buddy I'm free.

Name (Username suffices): LifeStandsStill

Current buddy (if applicable): none

Want a buddy?: if someone wants to be my buddy, sure.

Cheat Day (Optional): if i have one, it'll definitely be Friday.

Physical Goals: lose some flabness. get nice and toned.

Days you'll exercise: Monday through Thursday

Cardio Routine: hmm. dancing? lol. i dont feel comfortable walking around this neighborhood i moved to yet.

Weight Routine: push ups sit ups crunches. not really caring if i lose weight really, though it would be a small plus.

Current weight: 128

Why are you joining? I'd like to be healthier. I have nothing better to do. I wanna lose some flabbiness I have. I want to quit smoking and get back into running like I used to do. Hopefully me doing this will motivate my sister to do it with me :] and to stop talking about it and just doing it.

I'll start Monday.
I'll most likely post my day's info the next morning.

:]
All the luck in the world to everyone<3
