I dont know what is sufficient, But I know that it makes me feel better. I used to DREAD excercise, even a walk across a parking lot. I used to make my hubby drive around until he found something close, or drop me off in front, but now I tell him to park as far away as possible! If I dont excercise for a few days, I can really begin to feel it. I think that I had the wrong attitude before. I always 'wished' that I liked to run, but now I actually do. I keep pushing myself each day to one day run a marathon( that is my goal).

Five times a week for about an hour each time. Its sufficient - I lost all my weight and am maintaining it easily.

Although I lie a little - for the last 3 weeks i"ve been on teaching rounds, my routine is completely arse about and I've done very little.

I go to the gym 6 days a week; 45 minutes eliptical and 4 days of the week 30 minutes with weights. The other day I usually take the dogs on a longer walk than normal (30 minutes)

This is likely sufficient for now, I had to up my time from 30->45 minutes when I hit a plateau so I'm guessing at my next plateau I'll go from 45 minutes to an hour.

4-6 days per week, 1 - 3 hours depending on my schedule.

45 minutes of cardio

1 hour+ of weights (resistance training)

I run 4 times a week ( 2 short runs - 5 km and 1 long run - building it up, but right now 14 km, and 1 run just for me... for fun)

As well I do weight training twice a week and stretching daily.

Is it enough? I hope so... I know that it makes me strong and at this point in time it isn't that much about the weight loss as it is about making my body do things I never thought possible.

Hi Cherrybomb, this has been asked a couple times, so I wanted to give you links to the other threads so you could compare then to now. I think it's good to ask the questions again from time to time as things do change for people. Just wnated you to have access to how the question has been answered in the past, too.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
