Re: Getting in shape/Losing weight in pre-nursing/NS support thread

so, i was watching ellen today, and this fitness lady was on there and said that 10 minutes on a little trampoline is like 30 minutes on a treadmill. i wonder if its true? i want a treadmill, but have absolutely nowhere to put it! so, maybe i should get a small trampoline, hopefully i could find room for it!

i really don't want to take micro this summer, i would rather be going to the beach with my family! but i'm only taking it if i get in to NS. still waiting waiting waiting on my letter....

MissRN,

My fingers are crossed that you get your letter tomorrow! Good Karma being thrown your way and all that good stuff.

I am not sure about the trampoline, but I love my treadmill. They are expensive but I have put many a mile on that thing. It's what got me down to a size 8 a few years ago and kept me there for a couple of years. It's the lack of using it that helped me pack the weight back on. I like to watch Discovery Health now while I am on it!

Good luck and try to squeeze some fun in this summer too!

i'm going to wait and buy the book after the class starts. i've had some people tell me that you don't use it, but also that the teacher tells you just to get one that you can read and that makes sense to you.


Piglet:thank you for the good karma! i sure need it!

Re: Getting in shape/Losing weight in pre-nursing/NS support thread

Good Luck! I hope you get in.

I have applied for Fall and I am finishing up my A&P II class. It is kicking my butt. I have a final on Wednesday over the endocrine system, urinary system, body-fluid ratios and reproductive system. I will be happy with a B out of the class... if I survive.

I will know at the end of May whether I got into nursing school.

As for the person giving up on WWs I can understand your frustration. I've cheated on my points by not counting everything and I do mean everything that goes in my mouth. I'm now writing down everything and finding that sauces, jelly on bread, ketchup, creamer in my coffee, all hurt my points levels. So, I'm cracking down. More exercise, less sauces on my food and less "cheating" by not counting the food at all.

I've also noticed if I don't use at least my minimum points, I gain weight for some reason.

No weight loss this week so far for me. Stayed the same. Of course its Derby time around here and I can't pass up the derby pie!

Nightbloom,

My husband loves Derby Pie. He was stationed at Fort Knox for training years ago as a reserves (not in the army anymore) and I remember going to visit him in Louisville. Beautiful area. Please my daughter and I both ride so we are big Derby Fans.

Good luck on your final next Wednesday!
