r4snd 25 Posted July 20, 2012 This is by far the best group I have ever joined. It is hard to discuss weight problems with people that do not have a weight problem. Thanks to all of you 2 berniec and TinyMamiOf3kids reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mslady 9 Posted July 20, 2012 I have had a knee surgery and my knee just hurts, mainly bc I carry 400lbs on it all day. I keep 10lb weights by my couch and just do whatever arm exercises while I watch tv. After a few weeks I have been able to tell a difference. It seems silly at first. But now even my best friend will do it with me. 2 jenneliza and TinyMamiOf3kids reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TinyMamiOf3kids 1,280 Posted July 21, 2012 Your welcome. I was never an exercise person but something inside me click!! And when I started my pre-op diet I started doing the DVD exercise. It was a 3 mile walk and the first time I made it to 1 mile (never told anyone) I felt I was gonna die & wanted to quit. The second day made it to 2 mile & 3rd day yesss! 3mile walk. I was proud of my self. I haven't done the DVD exercise but I now walk 30 mins a day. I work out at the gym for 30-45mins. Now I can't say I love it but I enjoy it & it makes me feel good.

Well I know people that have this surgery and they always blow back up. they have no idea how there negativity hurts us. although its true some people regain (there's) two of them in my office, but it is also 3 that have done great for over 4 years now. the difference is their eatting habits. the two live on fast food the 3 bring lunch and they walk on breaks. but like you, i will not tell anyone else before my surgery i really can't handle the negativity right now.

magickbaby )o( 2 Posted July 23, 2012 Ok, soooo I took mslady's advice and started yesterday doing three reps of ten with the dumb bar, its only 5 pounds, but its a start right ? And today I'm going to repeat it and I'm going to walk for 5 minutes. I know that sounds so lame, but I gotta start somewhere. I hope your all having a good day !!
