Well today is the second day that I did 50 laps of various strokes of our local council pool. I still feel really unfit as I feel exhausted now, but at the same time amazing. It's like having a new lease on life! I am going again on Friday and have invested in a few things to get me going (training fins and new goggles). I really need a swimming cap too as my hair gets everywhere (it short hair with a long fringe). I am also eating healthier and have an appointment with the dietician coming up soon to fine tune my healthy eating plan (I know she is going to mention eating seafood but I am allergic to it so it's a no go). Looking forward to being a healthier Queen.
What exercise programs have others done/enjoyed/hated?

I knew what it meant @Former-Member because I'm into that sort of thing as a personal interest.

I think I could of counted my first job in a hospital. I worked in the medical records department of a major hospital. Miles and Miles of files and I was the gopher.

Well, I would say that your job does count. But if you have kidney disease and your doc says exercise helps (?), a little more won't hurt? I think most of us can afford to lose some weight. I know I can. It's may aim now that I'm no longer working.

I went to buy a new pair of jeans today and then decided against it because I'll wait until I've lost more weight. A new me is coming hopefully. I don't want to wind up with chronic illness caused by being overweight! Can't wait until tomorrow when I hit the pool again... 70 laps this week.

Ummm I guess because most people on here are on SSRI's. And serotonin receptors are very diverse, found throughout the body with many different functions. I was also tossing up with NMDAR - I'll give you a prize if you know what that one is!!!
