Cardio at your gym? Treadmill, etc. Walking works and everyone can do it.

When we lose weight, we get smaller all around but we keep our same body structure(type). That is why it's so important to mix your cardio with your weight training because that will reshape your body by building muscles and losing fat at the same time.

The thing with alcohol is that it can hide huge amounts of calories and unless you know exactly how many calories sit on your mojito, chances are that you're consuming more than you think, plus it sucks to workout the next day. I'm not saying not to go out and have fun but be aware that you're gonna have to workout or eat extra clean the rest of the week in order to compensate and still lose weight.

I would recommend both aerobic and weight training combined for changing body shape. That said not everyone will be able to lose the spare tire in the middle without a Tummy Tuck. It depends on age amount of stretch tissue, etc. I wish you best. It was Tummy Tuck for me.

Never gave it much thought....I have a drink now and then, especially when we go out.... a glass of wine most nights at home, and on occasion, like last weekend, a few beers....

I also go to the gym 5 days a week at 5:30am....run 5 miles, do weights but not as much as before....THEN I have my Breakfast which is a high Protein smoothie....

Sit in the sauna for 30 minutes, then whirlpool for 15....

I do not have any significant sagging skin issues...

What it all came down to is that I used to overeat, could not control myself... and was unable to be active....that's why I was Obese and very unhealthy.....now I eat about 1/3 of what I used to, and exercise often....I don't count calories, don't measure portion sizes (let the band do that)

My Dr. informs me there is no weight left for me to loose...if I did it would not be the healthy kind....

I'm 61 years old, had one heart attack a few years back, resulting in cardiac surgery....WAS a diabetic, HAD high blood pressure, cholesterol, you name it....ALL that is behind me now.

The best exercise is the one you will stick with.

I was so disappointed recently when I looked up calories in alcohol and found that most liquor is about 70 calories per ounce. One ounce! Not counting mixers! Not fair. I had just discovered the joys of spiced rum, too.

You look awsome !! Yes as well I would just eat and eat !! Would eat all bad stuff ' chips dips fast food !! You name it I ate it ! I do now have sagging spare tire. I was 241 now 155-158!give or take. My dr said I could loose 10 to 15 more but that's it. I have not gained in 2 years. I do need a fill. I am getting really hungry between meals. I have started back to the gym. I want to be able to run 5 miles like you. But it will take me a while !! My dr says I don't need to count either

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
