Excercise help your plauteaus?



Recommended Posts

I've been at a plauteau and I'm going to start working out this week and was wondering how did excercise help your plauteaus/ weight loss?

Yes, exercise will help with your weight loss. Works for me.

Exercise is essential for losing fat, lifelong exercise. Adopting a lifestyle of activity is like hiring a bodyguard against fat.

At 7 months post op I'm finally exercising. My weight loss is now verrrrry slow, but I'm still losing but now I'm toning. I've gotten more compliments with my last 3 pound loss (a month) due to the firming and toning. Plus emotionally, it's the bomb! Feel so much happier and excited about life when I'm active!

I encourage exercise but I ave been at a three-four week plateau and am only 8 weeks out and I do the ellyptical 5 days a week for 45 minutes and it doesn't seem to be making a dent. I do feel good about exercising and feel stressed the days I skip so creating a good habit is rewarding. Just want to say that exercise may or may not help the weight loss. I was told (don't remember by who) that weight loss is 70% diet and 30% exercise.

I had to stop exercising due to having my gallbladder removed and it took about a month for me to get back on track. The scale has gone up a few pounds but I look and feel better. A lot of people are commenting on my weight loss. I would recommend starting but stay away from the scale for a few weeks.

I am 10 weeks out and frustrated by a 5 week plateau. I am going to have to start working out HARDER- but I thought the weight loss would be a little more consistent during at least the first 6 months!

I feel the same way. I hit a plateau at about 3/4 weeks out and since then I have only lost 13lb since and am in week 13. 1 lb a week makes you want to scream! The thing is I'm keeping my calories low, protien high, and working out.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
