Money never comes easy, does it?  I'm also trying to raise money - although for entirely different reasons - and it's not exactly a piece of cake, even though I have a steady paycheck.  The best advice I can give you is to immediately set aside some money each month into a special savings fund for your surgery.  You can also raise additional money by selling things online (I've made about $50.00 on EBay over the past several days, which is a start), holding a garage sale, getting an extra job, or starting some kind of small business (think crafts, making jewellery, or maybe childcare).  I also know someone who makes some GREAT homemade treats (brownies and cookies) and sells them to local businesses.  Maybe you could start a program where people pay to get a pre-made casserole or dinner dish from you that they just need to warm up in the oven?  Be creative, be disciplined, and believe in yourself!  Congratulations on your weight loss - I wish you the absolute best of luck!!

My Dr. and I just discusses this last week. Not all people who go through that are going through it due to being lazy. I have limited things i can do as of exercise as i was a passenger in a car accident that almost broke my neck. My feet are bad and i can't walk much or use a tread mill.\n\nDr. talked about this due to trying to help me lower my blood pressure, diabetes, high cholestrol, ect.\n\n I will review all the info here and all the sites you listed and talk to my Dr. again. Thank you Ziggy for your information.

Honestly, this really sounds like something you want to discuss with a trained professional, like your physician or personal trainer at a local gym. In my personal opinion (not that it really matters), you sound just a little thin, and that may be why your run time is a little slow, because if your body isn't in top-notch shape weight-wise and nutritionally speaking, you can't expect to get the most out of exercising because you body isn't really able to perform in that way. I think if you weighed a little more and ate properly and worked out with the guidance of a personal trainer and nutritionist/dietitian, you'd be doing great and be feeling terrific by Labor Day! Also, remember that getting enough sleep is crucial for your body to keep in tip-top shape, I'd say at least 7 hours a night.

Hi there\n\nI have worked in fitness equipment retail for 8 years now and have a Bachelor of Physical Education.  To answer your question, it does not matter which peice of equipment you use as long as you're comfortable on it as all cardio equipment is mean't for weight loss or cardiovascular excercise.  Ellipticals are good because they are low to no impact while still providing weight bearing activity to keep the bones strong.  Problem with ellipticals is that you need to be able to put forth $2500 or more to get one that feels good, is biomechanically correct and can handle your "bigger" stature as you'll want something well built.  Recumbent bikes are much cheaper, will provide you with cardio/weight loss excercise and are easy to use. Ellipticals are more efficient than the bikes because you use your entire body meaning more calories expended over a shorter period of time.  People also tend to get bored on the bikes. My suggestion is to go to a gym and try them both before you buy. Last thing you want is to buy something that you don't like. As for a website, I am unsure of that. Try some of the fitness equipment manufacturing sites such as many times they will have helpful hints on buying the equipment. www.precor.com, www.iamstrong.ca (this one is more towards health and lifestyle and has testiomonials).\nHope this helps!

Make an appointment to see your doctor or the practice nurse.  Or perhaps join your local gym and get a personal trainer, fitness first are very reasonable.

I would suggest no wasting your money. The best way to lose weight and keep it off is by maintaining a healthy diet and a regular exercise routine.

EXERCISE AND WEIGHT LOSS ALONG WITH A LOW CHOLESTEROL DIET. IF THIS DOESN'T WORK THEN MEDICATION WILL BE NECESSARY

Try a vegetarian diet for about two months, along with moderate to heavy exercise. This is how a number of my friends stay fit.

Everyone knows the answers to these types of questions. But most aren't willing to put in the effort.  Follow the simple guidelines of burning more calories than you take in and your body will have no choice but to start using up the fat reserves.\n\nJust make sure you are still taking in the daily amounts of nutrients that you need along with water and you will lose the weight in a simple and SAFE manner.\n\nAnything that goes around this simple equation (fad diets, pills, or working out too much) will most likely put undue stress on your heart and therefore shorten your lifespan.\n\nWeight gain/loss should be a lifelong decision/process and needs to be taken seriously.
