i think many of the stationary bikes have tougher settings, i.e. hills, etc. as well as adjustments to make for resistance. just keep moving up the resistance until it is no longer easy ... and you will start to sweat and get the burn on those calories! I also like your jumping jack idea - that's one way to wait out the commercials for sure. great idea. i am sure it will all work for you. good luck!

Lots of great ideas. That could be a lot of jumping jacks. You could switch to plank, situps... I need to improve recording my food daily, I will check in how your progress is going and cheer you on.

meonadiet, that is a great idea.. I could switch up excise's to do during commercials. keep it interesting and diverse. so far im doing ok, I don't get up for every commercial but a lot of them. Hope I see a change in weight soon.

I'ts really all about the diet.. Just my thoughts but reduce them carbs to 130 grams or less a day and it will take care of itself..

Carbs are evil... they call to me all the time. I need to shut out their calls for sure. the exercise during commercials is going well... I started with 25 jumping jacks and now I'm creeping it up... not up to 50 yet but working on it. i also got up from my chair and did squats.. just stand up and go to sit down again...but don't.. up again.. I did too many the first day and my thighs were a little sore.. but seems to be helping me fit in exercise. The evening when we watch TV is the slow time for me, days are so busy.

Great job on the exercise. Good idea with the squats. That would get the thighs burning.

lost 3 lbs.. not much but a great improvement for me. being hypothyroid and menopausal doesn't help.. but 3 lbs is a good start.
