I'm starting to think I may have avoided the excess skin flaps from losing weight.

3. It's about two mile walk and a half-hour of light weight training. A total of 150 bucks worth

of equipment. Small bench, dumbbells' and resistance bands with the handles and ankle straps.

I always scoffed at the home gym guys, thinking I had to have all the machines and equipment. I only started this way because I couldn't afford my favorite gym. This is about the third time I worked myself into shape, but had by far the longest way to go. They always said the hardest part of working out was fighting your way in the door at the gym. I really like that my workout starts by just going out the door. No travel time to the gym, even though it's not far. Still, coming and going takes as much time as half of my walk.

I'm now off 3 meds for BP and blood thinners. My cholesterol meds got cut in half and in a few months they will evaluate if I'm done with that too. I hope to be down to just the precautionary baby aspirin.
