Anybody belong to PF and know weight limits on machines? I started my journey at 541 in January and had surgery April 5th and down a total of 91 pounds; 40 since surgery. I would love to do more then walk but everything seems to top out at 350. Just looking for recommendations or advise. Thanks

I don't know what the weight limits are but a simple phone call would be all it would take. Went to planet fitness before and they were all super nice and helpful!!!

Congrats on taking that step. I wish I liked to weight train at all. I just really like walking and outside at that so a gym is just not my thing... tried it... but eh... good luck and I hope it all works out

I go to planet fitness but right now I only use the treadmill. Too self conscious to try anything else!

I LOVE Planet Fitness!!! No one judges there so I feel very comfortable doing everything. They have free unlimited training too so you can have your very own fitness trainer whenever you need help and extra motivation. I love the advanced equipment they have there also.

I used to go to planet fitnes..now I attend worlds gym in Milford, mass. The bad thing I didnt like about planet fitness was that they did not have classes, babysitter, and it was always sooo packed that it took me hours and hours to work out because machines were busy. But wherever it is that your working out is great, as long as you are working out!

So went for a visit today. While the young lady was nice there was nobody to give a tour or tell me about anything other then the packages I could sign up for. Place was real busy but seemed to still have a lot of machines open. I will probably still join but I wish there was some way to get more info. Maybe I will try back at a less busy time

I took a tour of anytime fitness. I liked that you could literally go anytime (midnight work out yeah!!)

I didn't ask about weight limit. But then I am not supposed to really work out till the end of may

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
