Getting Ready for Spring Bootcamp

[avilla 1]

I am really discouraged today...After being on liquids since Thursday night due to getting a fill Friday morning I have only lost 1 lb...I was hoping for just a little bit more than that...And I have been really good and have done my 30 minutes working out every day this week (even when I thought I didnt want to, I would end up doing it anyways)...But I start on my solids today and am just kinda scared to go thru the entire learning process of a new fill

Avilla - Hi:) ! I think your doing a great job:clap2: . A pound is better no pounds...plus your excercising.:faint: .maybe the scale was wrong...or you could be toning muscle and instead of losing pounds, your losing inches...That's my guess....Starting solids all I can say is chew, chew, chew...Good luck and keep me posted!!

I've excerised every day this week,I go to the y at 5am to swim laps and do Water aerobics,then later in the evening I go do an hour in the gym My favorite machine is the crosstrainer I can burn 400 calories in 35 minutes even more if I'm on the machine with cable tv hooked up to it. took my Vitamins most days and drank more water. I was a little frustrated because the weight seemed to be staying the same, but I totally see muscle definition in my legs and arms after a month of consistent workout. So hopefully in feb I will start seeing the pounds drop,with my new muscles doing the burning of more fat.

P.s: OKie thank you for checking in with me.

DON'T FEEL DOWN! You could be gaining muscle and loosing inches instead of lbs right now. So KEEP THAT HEAD UP! and keep up the GREAT MIND SET and WORK!

You are all doing awesome! It's nice to be associated with motivated banders! I did the treadmill for 45 minutes today at a 6% incline it felt good, but it was hard. I have been exercising in one form or another since July and exercise never gets easier. Is it suppose too? I don't feel like I'm getting in better shape, though I know I'm in a lot better shape than I was in July. Is it that subtle? I just don't feel as energetic and don't have the stamina that I had before the surgery. Do you think it's the calories or just all the changes that the body goes through? I'm complaining today. I guess I need some encouragement. Also, does anybody know a website that tells you have many calories are burned in different exercises?

karey~WELL DONE!!! The low energy could be many things (I am not an MD, so I could be wrong ) my nutritionist told me that it could low levels of Protein, it could be the hormonal change due to the band, it could be just the "emotional turmoil" a bander goes through...because it's not an easy change. Our whole lifestyle changes and sometimes (subcontiously we don't realize it) but we have a hard time accepting it..:faint: Who said this would be easy.... But, I would talk to your MD or nutritionist, he/she might be able to help you out or point you in the right direction. I think your doing an awesome job and :clap2: :clap2: keep up the great work and keep your spirits high!!!! We,re here for you!!!! Keep me posted!!!!

Here is a website i found for you...let me know how it works out and if you like it!!! ... http://www.caloriesperhour.com/index_burn.html
