If you watch biggest loser l have even seen players with a resistance band standing in their kitchen stretching it. It is so simple and you see results with about 2 weeks.

This is a great idea. Just want to remind people that dieting is a yo-yo affair. The only way to keep a healthy weight is to change your lifestyle to include regular exercise and to eat the right foods in the right quantity. Build some muscle-- it burns calories even while you sleep! 80% of our calories are burned by metabolism, rather than activity, so muscle is GOOD. Set aside time for your exercise and make it a habit. You deserve it and your families deserve to have you around for as long as possible!
I have only a pound or two of Christmas weight to lose (which will leave soon after the goodies are gone!) but I'd like to send a fat quarter to the winner anyway, as an "atta-girl" ! Or "atta-boy"! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

The doctor recommended yoga, my daughter also recommended pilates. I have been trying arm exercises, including push-ups but they don't seem to be working.
I have looked on line for exercises. I can't afford to join a club at this time.
Will the bands help with the fly in your face arms. I have lost a lot of weight but I still can't wear sleeveless because the arms remain unattractive!
:( :shock:
