going to the gym starting next week

well it looks like the new gym by me is opening Monday grand opening and its like a 10 minute walk from my apt. I intend to do mostly cardio using the elliptical and treadmill and bike. not so much the weights. I want to go down to 140lbs. I think that would be ideal for me because they say one year out you gain 15 percent of the weight back. So I want to continue to be a 30 waist. Im 5'8" tall so I think that is healthy for me.

Sounds like you have a great plan for cardio fitness! You may want to consider adding in some strength training at some point. Muscle strength helps you to maintain weight loss, improves balance, have better skin tone, and helps you to avoid injuries. Good luck with your program!

I thought you were still losing one year out? Well I'm 1 month post op and down 27 pounds hopefully I will drop @ least 25 more this month but I'm at a stand still hopefully this won't last long

Well the surgeon said the body will stop losing weight at the set point
