Weight Loss, Exercise, and Inches



Recommended Posts

Well I finally got around to taking my measurements this month...

I'm very happy to report that my inches lost exceeds my previous 4 months greatly...total inches lost 6!

It's funny to see that while my weight loss was the same as the previous month (8 lbs) I lost almost twice the inches (3.75" to 6").

So I guess my doctor wasn't lying when she said I gained 2 lbs of muscle since my last fill...and lost 6 inches!

This is what I needed to keep me exercising...well that and my dog on my face at 6:00 am who acts crazy until he gets his walk!

Awesome Jennye!!!!:mad::D:D

This was a great time to hear about results with exercise. I just started at a little womens gym by my house and I swear every muscle in my body is screaming back at me. Just sitting and getting back up when I pee makes me cringe. Thanks for the motivation and encouragement!!

What type of workout do you do and how often? I am working out in the gym twice a week and using the treadmill plus outside work at home. I know some people from the Kakauna (sp?) - Holly Glashen. I live in Minnesota by Duluth. Tammy

I don't know anyone from Kaukauna...I moved to this area recently...

As far as exercising I've just been walking about 2-2.5 mi about three or four times a week...tonight will be my first night this week because I've had class and the other day it was raining...but that's it...

      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.
