We saw a commercial that said even losing One Pound is like losing 4 pounds of pressure on your knees. Would someone comment on that please? I don't know enough about that to make an intelligent reply to it. Working out slowly again (after...yes...injuring my foot this time), and building up slowly too. I hate the word slowly, but I like the word healthier lifestyle, so I'm trying to be patient with me and my "old, injured, out of shape" but still sexually active body. Wishing you well with your knees...they're such lovely ones at that. Gina

What is important, however, is that you work fitrness into your daily routines and do so in away that you want to do it, and ultimately you have to do it. Make no mistake--it is work. (That's why they're called 'workouts' not 'funouts'...) But it certainly can be done, especially in the outdoors suring California summers. Good luck and keep us posted. FL

This is extrmely important to younger people with DM, since once the diagnosis is made, the remaining lifespan is reduced by about a factor of 1/3. For example, if the diagnosis is made at age 35 and the normal lifespan is 80, the lifespan is reduced to about 65 unless the disease is arrested/reversed. FL

Paraphrasing--if you've heard one motivational strategy, you've heard one motivational strategy. As a trrauma surgeon, I have a bit of a professional perspective on this. Some things that I might discuss in different contexts... The generally well but deconditioned patient: "The only health insurance you'll ever have is working out. The dollars you pay to Blue Cross (or whatever)--that's really illness insurance, to make sure that someone like me is around when you get sick. But it does nothing to ensure health." The patient who needs an an operation. "You know, operations are stressful on physiology. We can lower your risk of complications from surgery by a few simple things. Stop the smoking, just until the operation is over. Let's change your nutrition so you can build some protein. Let's get you over to the gym so you do build some protein. If you're willing to invest a few weeks getting in shape for surgery, We can cut your risk of complications in half. If you don't want to do this, I respect your choice. But I would like you to sign this statement acknowledging that you accept the increased risk." The patient who is recovering from injury or an operation. "You feel lousy, I know. But experience and data show that getting back up and moving will make you feel better and accelerate your recovery. We can plan a strategy that will help you feel better faster--and, byt the way, getting your libido back quicker and having sex sooner. Interested?" Motivation is always context dependent. The good news is that once people have the "gym habit" for about 6 months, they tend to stay with it. Besides, I suspect most would probably rather play with people who are in shape. I'm not talking Ken and Barbie here--haven't seen them at the gym--but something other than protoplasmic blobs...

Your husband has to want to make a change otherwise weight loss is not long lasting. However, I do agree whatever it takes to start making a change to become healthier --do it --, but it must come from him. Because the motivators he develops will be what gets him to go to the gym.

It wouldnt' take too long to get him in shape, I've trained far worse in my career. Get him to start changing his diet, which is 80% of your lifestyle in the gym, weights and cardio are the other 20%. He'll feel better in just few short weeks if not sooner. Start him slowly just doing cardio at the gym and get him eventually into a circuit program. I've heard every excuse in the book about not wanting to go to the gym. It has to be somethig important for him, get him motivated, use your child to do it. CPTII-8years.

User Details are only visible to members.	On "valid excuses"... The problem is one of priority. It only works when you plan your life to include the gym. Me, I get up at 0445 to be at the gym at 0515. My wife thinks I'm crazy. She, on the other hand, goes to the gym 12 hours out of phase, 5 pm-6 pm. I think she's nuts. But we have shared gym dates on Sat and Sun. If we can find the time, so can others...

Every once in awhile I will but most of the time there is an excuse. What I hate the most is their comment I am trying to lose weight but it doesn't seem to be working. DUH, I wonder why...lol
