[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 745647, member: 18958"] I did not lose! But maybe it is because I did not use all of my points. I quit the program, and what I am doing now is trying to eat healthily (and I do not eat a lot.) I gave up[ the idea of losing weight, I was having such a hard time. Now that I have relaxed, (not in terms of what I eat, but trying not to be so desperate and intense about everything) I am not weighing myself, but I feel myself to be losing a little bit of weight. But I afraid to go near the scale. Why? Because the scale seems to be no-win, for me. It might be the Pilates, which I have been doing a couple of months, that is helping me feel better. I feel my stomach is flatter. Yay. I really like the Pilates which you do on a flat machine-like table/apparatus. The "transformer" supports and guides the body to move correctly. There are people of all ages and conditions in the class, but the group skews to mature people, even old. Which I like. What I was thinking is this: along with the exercise bike idea, or treadmill there are exercise rubber bands and/or A TRX, which is like hanging ropes with handles. (Costs $75 at Walmart, or did when I bought it.) I love both of these. You could find a personal trainer to set you up with a routine. They write it down and draw pictures to help you remember. This way, you could do your routine at home while watching TV or listening to audiobooks. I did the exercise bands for a long time, many years ago, when my son was little. I was happy doing it and I got very fit. A personal trainer is not necessarily expensive. The man I go to at the Mixed Martial Arts Studio changes me $25 an hour. If you did an aerobic exercise, like the treadmill or bike, and a resistance workout with either TRX or rubber bands, or both, this would be all you need, I think. This does not have to be complicated or hard. [/QUOTE]
