I am still up a couple pounds and then down those couple pounds.  This has been going on so long now I keep wondering if it will ever change unless I start exercizing.  It is too cold to walk ( -11 yesterday and today) so will have to figure something out in the house.

I am with you Wendy,
Up and down the same couple pounds for months.
I don't have an excuse though. Supposed to be in the 70's today.
I went out and "looked" at the trampoline yesterday.
Guess I will try to actually get on it today.

I just ordered a treadmill. Will let you know how that does. Will be here mar 2nd. Got it from the shopping channel HSN. We just have to keep on.....

[wendysgoodnews]

Just before starting LDL I got rid of my tread mill and rebounder.  I never used them so decided they were just in the way.  Have been wishing I had them back now.

[rodie]

Was wondering? Is the rebounder hard on your knees
TIA

[LINDA RN]

That is why alot of people use the rebounder. It is not hard on the knees and apparently helps the lymphatics.
We have a big trampoline and I can only bounce on it about 5 min before getting winded. But that is better than nothing.
It is now 74 degrees, hot and sunny and I convinced myself it is too hot now!

Rodie - I used to have a nice big rebounder and I didn't use it much, so I got rid of it.  I wish I still had it.  I tried to buy one at Walmart last year and it was a little dinky one that folds up.  Not enough room for jumping on, so I took it back.  I have heard that rebounding is the best exercise you can do as it is really easy on the joints.  I have a treadmill that I have been meaning to start using every day; I think I will start using it next week...But anyway they say you can burn a lot of calories on a rebounder while being very easy on the joints.  Jerrie

I remember when I first started walking everything hurt my knees ,my feet hurt so bad. But I kept on and walked thur it. and after a while nothing hurt. Maybe it just takes time like everything else.....I don't know but it worked for me.

[LINDA RN]

My dinky rebounder from WalMart is put away. Takes up room and takes motivation to get on it.

[witheraway1]

I know, I hope I have what it takes to use the treadmill. So many get those machines and they just set. I am hoping since I have a different mindset this time around and have made the choice to finally reach goal I will think different about the whole thing and get moving. I will keep you up dated.

[LINDA RN]

BTW Wendy, we hit 87 degrees here today!. It was downright hot. Tomorrow will be high of only 58.
Really crazy weather but anything above freezing works for me.

[SweetRose]

I'm buying an almost brand new treadmill from a neighbor for just 100 bucks!  I was crazy for selling my last one!

This time I'm going to use it for more than just a coat holder.

Sweetrose 
What a GREAT DEAL! Let me know how it goes, maybe we can inspire each other to use it daily. 

[wendysgoodnews]

It is in the 30s here now so once the snow leaves off the roads I will have no excuse not to go walking.  I know if I aquire another treadmill it will go the way of the last one.  I am not one to use machines in my house for exercise they sit and collect dust.

[SweetRose]

Great idea,Wither!
