Anyone have trouble starting to exercise because of your starting weight? I in the process of completing my app'ts so I can get the ins. to approve the surgery and we're estimating sometimes mid to end Dec. I am 5'4" at 245 and have the fear of going out to walk because I know I'll be out of breath and afraid people driving by will think I'm so fat! This has been a fear for mine for a long time, resulting in no exercise. I feel awful physically. My dh got me a membership at the Y and I dont go. My Nutionistist told me to start now, 10 mins at a time. I still have the fear to go out looking the way I do. Am I the only one that feels this way? Any recommendations?

Okay, so what's the format here? I see C25K a lot, but I see a lot of other stuff, too. :mad:

I like the accountability, and am looking for a new excercise thread to join.

Stefanie, basically we just post what we've done in regards to exercise. Any and all exercise. And we create a new thread for each new month.

Usually I'll post in the morning what I've done the night before, and sometimes things that I know are coming up, like appointments with personal trainers, classes, challenges, etc.

There are a few of us doing the couch to 5k program, and there is a seperate thread for that, but we do post here that we've done each workout because it is part of our exercise program. We also support each other when we fall off the wagon, like the time I ate a lot of mini milky ways.....:mad:

You are more than welcome to join us!:clap2:

Honestly, don't worry about what you look like. I had that problem in the beginning and it really hindered my weight loss. Just think, everyone at the Y will be thinking the same thing about themselves. Nobody will even look at you because their too busy thinking about themselves. So get in there, and hop on a treadmill, or elliptical, or bike, and start moving. And only go for 10 minutes. Next week, you can go for 11 minutes. And the next 12 minutes. Take it slow, you'll see that each week your not only going to get better and be able to go longer, but your gonna look better too!

      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.
