General Relationship DiscussionAlthough anyone can post anywhere on Talk About Marriage, this section is for people interested in general relationship and marriage advice.
OK since Soccer season ended in the spring and I switch to days at work, I been off my diet and workout routine.
So starting Wed I am going on a new schedule then going to night tour in a few weeks.
So I am going to go back to my "healthy" diet, lower my drinking and work out like a madman with Cardio (soccer and other various cardio) as well as a strength and pilates/yoga workout. Hey Flexibility is good for the body in many ways people.
So would anyone like to join me? I will bost before pics then up date them every two weeks on my "album" of my progress.
I will start another thread in the "social area" for daily updates, and diet. Those who want to join, get advice, motivation, give me motivation, please join me.
Starting wed, because this is my last weekend to Party with my neighbors before I go on this. Those going through problems this can help with your stress level.
Sure why not.lol Now I have to tell you I had gastric bypass last Dec so I don't need much help in that area. lol I've already lost over a 130lbs. & just got under 200lbs yesterday. I do however need to work out. I am going to join a gym to help tighten me up & get me looking better.
Heidi, I didnt have a gastric band but I did manage to lose 95 pounds give or take a few years back and have kept it off.
You definitely need to do some gym work to try and tone up. I ended up having a tummy tuck to get rid of all the loose skin, but everywhere else is OK really.
Well, for those of us over 50: Can we also post our before and after pix of face lifts, boob lifts, tummy tucks, pelvic floor rebuilds, penile implants, pec implants, hair implants, and butt lifts?

Yeah the gastric bypass was a good choice for me. Ive been overweight all my life. This surgey made a major difference in my life. I will never go back to the old me. I have been trying to work out but I've had a ton of stress in my life since Dec 08. Plus the first 3-4mos I was not allowed to work out all due to the surgery & weather.
I wish I could have things cut, sucked, & lifted but I am broke! lol I will be broke for awhile so I will never be able to have any surgery to remove the extra skin or have my boobs lifted. That is part of my self esteem issue. Im hoping going to the gym will help some & make some of it better.

Well done you and keep it up.
Boy, Mum! Wonderful! It is soooo hard to lose weight, especially when one has a love affair with cooking. I often cook or bake and take it to neighbors...so I won't eat it!
I had a tummy tuck, too! I had it done when I was 46 after my fourth pregnancy was over. I also dumped all my baby weight, was a great experience. I'd do it over again, in a heartbeat!
yeah, i'll play. but can't i got back to pre-stroke 309 pound me and use that as my before? my 208 pound present me still is missing tone (hard to get back due to loss of strength through the stroke).
btw--soccerman is so right about yoga/flexibility. if y'all just did a nice regimen of yoga and dedicate yourself to it, you'd be amazed at the fitness progress you'd make.
I don't need to workout, I do housework and that in itself is a workout.
Laundry, cleaning, dusting, arranging, washing 2 dogs, morning dog walks, vaccuming, dusting, etc etc etc....
I work out more than some of my neighbors who go to a gym.

A women I worked with had some kind of gastic surgery and she was anemic big time, always cold.. no energy, could only eat a small amount at a time. She passed out at work one time and had to be transported via ambulance to the hospital.
She is the only person I know who had anything like that, from what I've seen.....
I'd not get anything like that but just eat less and do it naturally... as you eat less either way.
I had a brow lift and eye lift for my 45th birthday
The thing about that is: I can't tel any difference.. hahaha
Maybe should have waited and got the works at age 55.
I did laser skin resurfacing for awhile, now that really made a difference !!! improved skin texture, although it was about 100 a session if you bought a package of a series of 6 or more sessions, which is what one really needs to do... more without the package.
If I'd known I was going to get married, I may not have done all that !!! lol
I'm thanklful I dont need any body work, I seem to not have
bad body issues, most likely cuz I never had kids.
don't know.... I'm not a sun tanner and never have been.
Blotches from suntanning is what you mean, right?
I did it just to improve the texture of my skin. It worked great too and last about 2 years...........
it took about 6 treatments and was something like 1200.00...
also had one demabrasion in between those treatments...
that works nice too.
I'm so grateful now that I'm 50 I never followed the fad of sun tanning. Because of that I have few deep wrinkles...
You can go to a laser place and ask them about if it works on botches because I don't know. I don't have blotches.
work out/diet club 
I do however need to work out. I am going to join a gym to help tighten me up & get me looking better.
