I starterd at 400lbs and the only thing i could do at that weight was strength training get some dumbells and resistance bands and sit doignthem while u watch tv or something, then invest in an exercise bike and start off slowly and work your way up from there, do cycling first then strength afterwards. if u start off extremely heavy its hard to do things standing for long periods of time that is why cycling indoors is good for the heavier people .. i lost all my weight and have a rroad bike now too and after i recover from plastic surgery to remove all my excess skin i am looking forward to cycling outdoors again too.

You seem to be doing great at losing weight, dont lose focus and start saving up as u will no doubt end up with spare skin .. when u are as heavy as we started out, loose skin is inevitable ..

if u need any further help just ask .. good luck

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
