Just Wondering....has Anyone Reached Goal Without Any Exercise?

[Miriam 50]

I exercised only sporadically for the first six months or so post-op and lost very nicely. But I knew that I DID have to exercise more, and finally started applying myself at around six-seven months post-op. I've found this to be extremely beneficial, especially in regards to changing shape - officially I'm already in normal BMI range (but I have very light bones) and around 25 lbs. away from my goal weight - weight loss has slowed down considerably, especially since my appetite has increased, but with the right exercise my body is continuing to trim down. So like others who have posted here, I do encourage you to find something that you enjoy doing and stick with that.

If your calorie restriction is great enough, it is possible to reach goal without exercise. However, i doubt you will like the way you look or feel if you go that route. Perhaps as you lose the weight, you will find that you feel more like moving your body? I freely admit that after being banded, i traded my food addiction for an exercise addiction.
