I was reading a post last night here on few people having some trouble on staying focused on Exercise! we all Do at some point even me.....

Start/today Schedule 3 work out a week for only thirty Minutes, my self I like Carideo with lite weights. ( Walking )

What do you want to Accomplish faster weight loss? I think that if you keep a record of your food intake and your calorie consumption you are allowing your self amore accurate approach to maintaining your weight loss ( because ) your thinking about all the food you are eating!

Also keep a Journal of your exercise, and if your going to work out (work your whole body!)

Have you ever went to a gym and there are people standing around talking about football or other stuff like the War, what ever. Then you hear him say I was the Gym for three hour's what a work out! yeah your lips were a flapping!

Just go in thirty minutes get your heart rate up and leave build your self up! the key is doing some thing! "I lost most of my weight walking one hour a day before I hurt my back and watching my calorie intake and drinking lots of water!

With out no fancy GYM! You don't even need weight use you own body!

the plank is great laying on your elbows like your doing apush up holding your stomach in. its harder then you think! or there is the super man just laying on your stomach suck it in pushing your arms in the air and your legs in the air! this exercise targets your core muscles stronger stomach and lower back! also push ups sit ups.

for most of us that are over weight eather way walking! is the best and its free!

Easy on your knee's and back! being large myself for over twenty years of being FAT you feel the extra weight that we carry!

So if you are in a slump her is a ..............( PUSH ).... summer is just around the corner!

and keep track of at least one thing aday your ( PRIMARY GOAL ) yes I want to lose that weight and help your band out and your body in side that is saying I can do this,

Good luck start walking to day! JOHNQ

Thanks JQ - I always find your weight loss success so inspiring - even more so when I found out you didn't even have a band! Thanks so much for helping others through this difficult journey - I'd like to say I've worked out AT the gym 3 times a week for 30 minutes - going on 3 weeks straight! And on some of the days when I didn't go to the gym - I did a 30 minute Yoga DVD at home. I'm just trying to keep my body moving to get this weight off since I haven't had luck with band & dieting alone. I realized I'm not one of the blessed that loses weight from the band itself therefore what I lose I have to work for, but I'm hoping the band will just keep me from gaining back what I'm working so hard to lose. Thanks again!

Thanks John!

It is funny how we seem to think we need all the fancy stuff when it's pretty hard to beat the benefits of a good, brisk walk.

Currently it's just my dog, Ipod and me, but when I've had a friend committed to walking together it has been VERY helpful for staying on track and making the time go quickly. It just occurred to me with all the TIME I have spent on this forum the past week--if I could have spent it visiting with you all in person while out walking we ALL would have probably dropped 10 pounds!!!

Just a thought...

Hey--I'm going DANCING tonight! A Sweetheart's Ball from 6-11:00 with my lindy buddy (but sadly not my sweetheart... since he's 15 years younger than me) so I should burn lotsa cals!

There's something I sure wouldn't have done 40 pounds ago!

Thanks for posting this. I have been coming to the same conclusions. Even after a really tight fill I have reached a stopping point after another 10 lb. loss. I'm gonna have to move my butt!!

Your words are SO true JQ!

I am wondering how long it takes for the weight to start flying off though. I know I am building muscle, so my weight loss stopped this week. I am walking 2.5 miles a day and doing an exercise DVD for 48 min. everyday. So, Working out and keeping my heart rate up for an average of 1.5 - 2 hours a day... For how hard I am working.... I am wanting to see some results!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
