A couple things.

Swimming is one of THE best aerobic exercises, especially for the overweight. It also provides one of the best overall workouts. There is ZERO impact, and if you swim properly, it will be very helpful in improving your posture. The butterfly is great, but I believe right now, a bit more than you can handle. Ask someone at the gym to show you how to properly do the freestyle and the backstroke, and take any classes they give for exercising in the water. You could really forego all the other exercises if you do this 3-4 times a week. Bonus? Since you are in water, you never break a sweat, lol.

I get you are worried about your mom, but you need to focus on YOU. If you mom is not making healthy dinners, get your ass in the kitchen and cook! Cook for yourself, cook for everyone, that's up to you. You obviously know what you should or shouldn't eat, so get in the kitchen and do it.

Using the ball while watching television is a great idea, but here is an easy modification. While the show is on, sit on the ball. When a commercial comes on, get up and move. March in place, walk around the room, do arm exercises. You will stretch out the muscles that are getting sore from sitting properly on the ball and these small bursts of exercise will be easier to do when you know at the end of the commercials, you get to sit back on your ball and enjoy your show.

You couple swimming with the above, physically you will be stronger in no time at all.

I remember when you first started posting here, so I know how far you have come, and you should be very proud of yourself. Your writing skills and spelling have improved so much over those early days. I understand you have some things you need to work on some more, but you are doing it. I know I have come down on you a couple of time for asking here things you could and should have taken intiative and found the answers yourself, but you know what? You still get kudos for asking to begin with.

I can see that the idot a couple pages ago probably pissed some of us off more than you, lol. But what does that tell you? We know you from years of posting, we know you have some difficulties, and we like you and want to help you overcome them. So FUCK HER!

As with GT, you know you can contact me when ever you need a quick boost of help, as I'm sure you could with many others here.

As for sending cmails when you are having success? HELL NO. Babycakes, you need to post THAT news on the forum so everyone can give you the accolades you earn by those successes.

TFTB, as you need a new computer chair would one of these be beneficial?

A sports belt or corset might be of some temporary relief, perhaps just to give more confidence during exercise. They're not designed for long spells though or to correct posture problems.
Have you considered massage?


Am sure your daddy would be willing to trade massage sessions.
Sufficient skills can be learned from a book, dvd or online.
It's social too. You may well be more likely to get your man to perform massage when he gets in tired from work, rather than going out into the cold again for a walk.


Warming up properly before beginning will enable you to exercise more safely and perhaps for longer.


Another thing would be to ensure you have the right mattress on your bed.
Most people have a mattress that is too soft, especially if they have any back issues.


Take advice though, it is also possible to have a bed that's too hard.


If you're a frequent snacker through boredom or bad habits, change to a healthier snack. Carrot slices, dried fruits and nuts are all good.
Sugar free gum can help convince the body it's being satisfied.

Keep going.

Be well.
