Thought I would update everyone on my progress with exercise. I have gotten up everyday since last Thursday and I am up at 5am and exercising by 7am. Cardio with muscle strengthen 3 days a week and walking 3 days a week. Sunday's off to lounge by the pool and give the muscles a little break. My knees are holding up pretty good, the squats are a little difficult but I am hanging in there. I had no idea how our of shape I really was. Today I finally got my heart rate up to target zone so I was getting the max effect from the exercise. I think I am using muscles I forgot I had. i can really feel the burn tonight, when I raise my arms above my head. I guess the old saying of no pain, no gain is true. I made the mistake of weighing this morning after I showered. Weight still the same, no gain, no loss. I have religiously been writing down every morsel I stick in my pretty little mouth, average of about 900 calories a day and 60 gms of protein. Sticking to the 3 meals a day and in the evenings I have 1 cup popcorn for the fiber or 1 oz nuts for protein. Staying witiin my calorie count and servings. I guess my body is just comfortable with this weight but I'm not. So girls and boys let't get movin, movin, movin. We can all make this happen!

Good for you!! I might be best to stay away from the scale for a few days....especially wth weight training. You will soon see a difference in your clothes and endurance. Keep it up! Good luck!

:Dancing_biggrin: I can't wait to be able to exercise again. But no matter what weight you are I think you are right with the pain/gain part! You should be SO PROUD OF YOURSELF!!!!!

I am with you............gained 2 lbs but it came right back off. Exercising every day. Love the pool exercise but hate looking at the extra skin under the water as I kick my legs. Hope to be kicking it away. Keep up the good work.

Anyone that does the exercising should be commended. It is not the easiest thing for some of us banders to do! So high five to you!!! :)
