It only took 4 months

...but I'm down one pant size Still the same on top though. Oh well, as long as I don't get too small on the bottom, I might loose my balance and fall over!

hahahaha...............no thats not called falling................ITS TIPPING..........OR WEBBLE WOBBLING............but good for you!! what kinda diet are you on?

No diet, just eating less. I love food and in great quantities Really I eat pretty good but just too much of it. I confess I love bacon and cheese though

Also been going to the gym since July. But, after I finally got to see my Cardiologist 2 weeks ago (remember the ECG I had way back in Feb) I found out that I'm not supposed to be doing any intense cardio - anything that gets my heart rate over 130. All this time I thought I was doing good when in fact I've been making my problem worse.

Now I really have to watch what I eat because I'm limited to what I can do. Better that than die at 50 though.

Way to go Azure!!!! Would walking on a treadmill get your heartrate up?

swimming would probably be good for you if you could find a pool.

Congrats to you SD!!!

I am in the same boat as you. My heart prevents me from doing any amount of cardio.

I do feel much better when I am down more in weight though. I find when I up my water in-take it jump starts the metabolism and that gives me a boost to loose more weight.

Good luck and keep up the good work!!

omg Az that is super great.. don't worry about not losing up top.. that will protect your nose should you topple over.. hehehehe.. love ya.. And Congrats on the weight loss.. and helping to keep yourself healthy.. cause you rock girl!!!! JJ doesn't call you Cinderelly for nothing! :)

That's what I mostly do now. A brisk walk on an incline on the treadmill. I check my heartrate frequently to make sure I'm staying under 130. I also use the bike, weights and do some floor exercises for core strength.

I'd love to swim Joan. I had a pool growing up and was in the water before I could walk. Had my little water wings . There are 2 pools in Truro, one is actually owned by the college where I work but I wouldn't swim there. It's not kept up properly IMO. The other one is at the NSCC and I believe it is a good pool. I may look into the prices there. That would be something on top of my Nubody's membership so it would depend on the cost if I could go or not.

Great for you!! And to do it with medical issues even bigger accomplishment!

I too am trying to get down, so far no change in actual size just fit and my belt is tighter ( Me thinks my pants were too tight )
