mattsbelly 76 Posted October 9, 2013 Very encouraging. I'd love to hear a bit about some tools you've used to make such a difference. I followed my nutritionists plan and as soon as my doctor cleared me for the gym I started exercising and working out. On my right wrist I am wearing a fitbit flex which monitors steps,calories, etc. I recommend some kind of good pedometer. My doctor advised me to walk at least 2 miles a day. I now walk between 4-6 a day. Keeping your heart rate up is key. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mittiga 47 Posted October 9, 2013 Looking good man! How's the skin situation after losing over 100lbs, do you have a ton of excess skin? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mattsbelly 76 Posted October 9, 2013 Looking good man! How's the skin situation after losing over 100lbs' date=' do you have a ton of excess skin?[/quote'] It's not bad. I have a little on my arms but it's not that noticeable. Working out helps with loose skin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Butterthebean 8,146 Posted October 9, 2013 How far out are you? I'm 17 months post op now. Just had my TT 10 days ago. Someone else asked about excess skin. I had quite a bit around my waist line....there was no avoiding that for me...I had a real big belly. But other than that it's not a problem. I've done alot of working out and alot of running. The lowest I got was 217 but mostly fluctuate around 220-225. But now that I'm post TT I can see abs so I'm not overly concerned with how much I weigh.
