Bike at the gym is good, but you have to make sure you really push yourself.....it is easy to sit and spin and read a magazine......see if you can find a beginner class. They are great.

I started on the treadmill then went to the elliptical. the first time on the elliptical i went 6 minutes and about died. I can go an hour now, but I have gotten bored with it too.

Now I am all about the classes at the gym. Zumba and Pump it are the 2 I go to. I just love the classes. so much fun, an amazing workout and the time goes by soooooo quickly.

I was a little gun shy at first with the zumba thing... but it's a blast. You're huffing and puffing so hard and trying to follow you don't even notice the other people in the room! LOVE IT!

Do the elliptical. You won't get bored on that!

I don't like stationary bikes.... I don't feel a good workout from it.

I'm not sure if it's realistic for where you live' date=' but I take 2 mile walks outside daily. I despise using the treadmill, it bores me to tears, but I absolutely love taking long walks outside.[/quote']

I agree! Nothing worse than an idle mind on a treadmill. I would suggest that you sign up for a "fun run" 5 k in your area and go online for a training plan to finish it. Train outside when possible. It will give you a new zest in life to cross a finish line no matter how long it takes you. You'll be surprised how many people you pass on race day too.

      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.

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