Guest guest Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 Trisha, try bodyweight exercises, often at the gym I still do these because they are difficult, and more functional exercises. For chest, do pushups. You can do the girly ones with your knees on the ground for the easy sets, moderate sets can be regular pushups, even harder if feet are elevated. It depends on your strength, how hard you can push it. For triceps, do dips off your bench. Harder if your feet are elevated, even harder if a weight in your lap. Back you can do chinups or pullups, and can modify and make easier if your feet are on the floor. Lower back you can do " superman " exercises, lie on your stomach on the floor and " fly " (left arm raised up and right leg raised at same time; alternate). There are a whole host of these types of exercises, you don't really need formal weights, at least in the beginning. Harder to do isolation exercises for biceps, shoulders without dumbells, but until you get more equipment, you should be able to do fine. Why are your non-body goals shot? >>>>>> ive been trying to find weights on freecycle and groups like it for over a year now, but i always get passed up, as to workouts its hard when all i can do is curls and chest presses, using my bar, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, to comment on the comment you put with your picture- I sure don't see any 'puffiness', unless you call those muscles 'puff'! Keep up the great work.

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Those are beautiful, Jeanine! What did you scent them with?

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Hi Katy, Thanks. The festival I'm doing is in Silvercreek. It's always a lot of fun and good sales. Sometimes it's a bit chilly - mid September. When is the Naples festival? I scented the soap with Lebermuth's cabernet.

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Oh, was it you that bought that FO from me at the gathering? I just remember hearing it was a hot seller for alot of people but can't remember who bought it from my garage sale. The Naples show is the last weekend of September. We've had years where it's poured but most years we've been lucky and the Fall weather was just gearing up. I love this time of year! Good luck with your show!

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Yes, it was cabernet deux. I have the regular Lebermuth cab and the one I got at the garage sale seems a bit more intense. I really like it.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Just a little question when you write 251/222/140 does that mean weight and the final weight or the last as a goal. If it is your final weight and had surgery on 8/14/06 - WOW you did AWESOME!!!! I was banded on 10/25/2006 started at 185 and now down to 174 - I lost 10 lbs the 1st week and stop loosing now. Dr. told me that I might not be loosing anymore until the first fill. Am I doing something wrong?

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Hi Millicent, 251 was my pre-surgery weight. 222 is what I weigh now, and 140 is my goal. Hope that makes sense. You definitely sound like you are ready for another fill. I stuck at 20 pounds down for about a month after surgery. In fact, the scale just started moving again for me, but I'm still not quite at my " sweet spot " yet. It can take a few fills to get there. Be patient, and don't lose hope! You'll get there.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Millicent, I post my weights this way 278 highest when started this journey in Sept/257 surgery weight/144 now/ 135 goal Congrats on losing the 10 lbs. Losing during the healing phase before a fill is a bonus. Healing is what is important. I doubt you are doing anything wrong. You my want to start some light exercise, that will boost your future losses, also.
