Frustrated And Needing Motivation!

[landrews 7]

I was sleved 8/21/12 and I am down 24lbs. I am at this horrible stand still and have been for 2 weeks now. I'm not gaining but not losing either. I need to start some type of regular exercise routine but need a serious kick in the pants. I have a 2 yr old and I cant drive due to my epilepsy. As much as an hour at the gym sounds fabulous it just isnt feasable for me so frustrated I have become and need some type of help getting out of this slump. PLEASE HELP ANY ADVICE IS WELCOME!

I was sleeved on 8/29 and 1 wk later I stalled for 2 wks. I hear its normal. Your body is readjusting. Did u take measurements that helped me realise listen to your body not the scale. I am 1 month out and 1 have lost a total of 12& 3/4 inches .

Can u take your 2 yr old old in het stroller and start walking. Are you keeping a list of your food, Protein, carbs and Fluid intake. That helps. I use an app on my phone called myfitnesspal..

I told myself everyday when I was stalled for those 2 weeks THIS TO SHALL PASS.. good luck and keep me posted.

Hey, don't get frustrated. We have all been at this point, for me more than once. LOL. You will start back to losing sometimes your body is fighting the change trying to go into "survival" mode, but after a few weeks of adjusting to the amount of food it is receiving the weight begins to start again. I was sleeved Aug 2010, started at 230 today I am at 160 and my goal is 155, so almost there. Keep the faith, it will get better.

What the previous posters said.

I used to go to the gym. I also made my inability to get there as an excuse to quit exercising. You may be different, that was me.

Now all of my exercise is home based. I use kettle bells, a bodyblade, push-up handles, but the rest is just calisthenics. I only go out to exercise when I walk or bike in the neighborhood. I am getting in the best shape of my life. No more excuses.

Lots of great DVDs you can get on the cheap that can help. I've been doing Yoga for years and swear by it but if you want a little more cardio you can try Pilates as well. Start small with some beginner programs and then work your way up. The key is to do a program that isn't so hard that you will give up on it. Choose something that you can do 5 days a week and make it part of your routine to keep doing it.

My husband has lost 37 lbs using just the Wii Fit (not sleeved). It is very private and the fun exercises are motivating. If it works for you work it :-)
