MPrado 19 Posted January 13, 2013 Cardio is good for your heart & lungs' date=' but building your muscles is good for your metabolism and staves off the sagging extra skin bc it fills it with muscle. It's also good for your bones. My surgeon said something interesting to me last month when I told him that I was having a hard time getting in my Calcium. He said right now it isn't a big deal bc I have my excess weight stressing my bones and keeping them strong, but as the weight comes off the calcium is especially important unless I stress my bones through resistance training. Despite being morbidly obese, I was very active, just not consistently. [/quote'] Thanks Eclipse for the info. Good to know cuz I'm having a hard time with my calcium as well. I think mostly because I am not suppose to take it with my Multivitamin.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MPrado 19 Posted January 13, 2013 Ok to all of us who are "upping calories" to get out of stalls... We really have to remember how we got here. I don't know how many days your suppose to keep up the higher calorie intake but I'm sure it's no more than a few days??? That should work through the stall. Anyone have any info on this?

I don't know how many days your suppose to keep up the higher calorie intake but I'm sure it's no more than a few days??? That should work through the stall. Anyone have any info on this? If your working out, you have to increase your calories because your using more energy. But first and foremost make sure you eat your Protein first. And do not go back to the unhealthy foods that got you here. Try not to graze but if your hungry always do protein or healthy snaks like fruit, yogurt etc...

Sassygirl06 962 Posted January 14, 2013 Stalls happen to us all...I miss the days when a stall was a week or even a month. I am now 17 months out and I was in a stall for 3 months the last time. Just stick with it. You might want to consider upping your calorie intake so that your body knows its not starving. Good luck...you will get there! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
