Recommended Posts

I got banded on Nov 2nd 2012...so about 5 mos ago. I've lost around 70 lbs already since then but I have been finding myself less motivated lately. Since Nov the only exercise I've done is walking on the treadmill for an hour four times a week. My question for you is...our there any other exercises I can do to loose weight with out gaining muscle?? I don't know if this is true but my Dr. Wants me to stay away from anything making me gain muscle since for the 1st year they want me to loose as much fat as possible. Can anyone help me. I'm bored with treadmill and lost with coming up with options.

Thanks

Is Water walking/ exercising in a pool an option for you?

I do cardio games on Wii and whenever I go somewhere I park at the end of the parking lot. If there are stairs I climb the stairs. Just start making small changes and ease your way. Course walking always a good option if you are able to.

Have you ever tried biking? For me, its the best "exercise" ever! Love it. The calorie burn is really good for the time, once you get your heart rate to a good point. I started slow about a year ago, maybe a mile or two at a time. In a years time, you'll be amazed at what you can do.

Think a medium priced bike, go into a cycling shop and see all the different kinds, try a couple out on a test ride around the lot. Maybe AFTER deciding what type/size suits you best, look around. Craigslist and used cycle shops sometimes have good deals on them. You don't have to spend a small fortune on one, but get one that fits you.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
