Finally!

[oct4lber 1]

Let me start by saying that I hate exercising. I hate sweating, I hate feeling sore, and I hate being out of breath. I was so frustrated the past month and a half because 3 weeks after surgery, I stopped losing weight. I was bouncing back and forth between 281-286. Nothing worked. I was counting calories and making sure I ate enough, eating tons of Protein, and walking but NOTHING!

I finally found what works. I'm watching what I eat more carefully, and finally I've found an exercise program that works. I get bored easily and was thrilled that my mom bought me Just Dance 2 for the Wii for Christmas. I do about 6 dances every morning. I also started the 30 Day Shred by Jillian Anderson, and I'm using a recumbent bike for 30 minutes a day on programs that change up the resistance. I was 289 at my last fill a on Dec 28th, and today I'm 279. I'm so excited about the band again.

I've been so negative, that I thought I'd post a positive here. There IS hope!

Working out is ESSENTIAL to lodong weight....and you will look better in the long run! I have lost 80 lb in 7 months (started on the low side at 255 and wore a 22 pant) and I am wearing size 12 pants....i totally blame the gym I started slow but have worked my way up to close to 2 hours of some type of activities a day (zumba,p90x,jillian 30day shred,gym,bootcamp my choices never make me bored) KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!!!!

Thanks for sharing your story and what helps for you to kick start your weight lose again. I too have struggled between 289 - 286 for several months now. I started back in the gym last week and intend on keeping this up. I want to lose my hundred pounds before my 2yr anniversary in July.

Trish, I'm glad you mentioned this because I keep hearing people discuss this 6 weeks of banster hell. I keep wondering if they're exercising . I am DETERMINED I am going to exercise my way through this " Bandster Hell" AND lose weight in the process. I've already started working out and I am 7 days post op. For me , Zumba is my activtity of choice. Once I can start pushing weights, I will be seeing a personal trainer.

We just got a Wii for Christmas ... I have to try Just Dance 2. I do 7 days a week of cardio these days. Used to HATE to work out, but I am loving Zumba and Kick Boxing.

I'd kill for a wii and just dance. I saw it on tv and I was like "i'd love that!" as of now I just have work out videos and my exercise bike. I cant exercise yet though my surgeon is having me wait till 2 weeks post-op.
