Thinking of my options



Recommended Posts

I want this weight to fly off me like yesterday. I know that's not going to happen but I 3 weeks out. I need to make a decision about exercise I felled so many time at the gym. My question is do I give it one more try or buy the insanity video and hip hop abs do a little walking and work it out that way. I need thinner thighs lol ;)

Just do something! Like Nike! Start by walking to the corner and back. You do not have to go to the gym to get exercise. Increase as your stamina builds.

I don't have the videos I was trying to figure if I should purchase them or go the gym route.

Any kind of activity is good. I like to walk, preferably outside. Though on rainy days I will resort to the elliptical in the garage. I also have a stretchy band and some hand weights. There are all kinds of things you can do without going to the gym. I've had some videos as well, but I do better when I can go outside and "get away" from things at home. It's harder to quit that way too. If I am a mile away from home I have no choice but walk back home. If walk an mile on a treadmill and I get bored I can easily hop off. I've even thought about dusting off my bike and going on some bike rides with my daughter this summer. My only advice would be to experiment until you find something you enjoy. Have fun!

Ahhh ... I agree Experiment until you find something You like. ..I like them all and in the past. ..after the novelty wore off they collected dust including the gym membership. .. that however. ...had other reasons for that. .. I'm excited to not let anything collect dust this time. .. wish you the best

Any meaningful exercise is hard....otherwise what's the point....you just have to get it into your head how beneficial it is fr you to get out there and do it...then after a spell, you will begin to see the amazing things that are happening to your body and your health...both physically and mentally...then you're hooked, cannot get enough, which only brings about more amazing results...which means you want even more....and so on and so on....

There's a reason you see people out running or cycling everywhere you go......

I walked last night for an hour and it felt great. I didn't think I could walk an entire hour without stopping.

Find a gym that offers free classes :)

they're not mutually exclusive. You can do Zumba some days and go to the gym some other days. As a matter of fact, you can exercise anywhere specially at the beginning. It's up to you.

      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.
