Workout Suggestions



Recommended Posts

I have about 5 weeks until my anniversary cruise. I have just been cleared to lift and do abs. I want to truly tone and continue losing. I’ve lost 31 lbs in 6 weeks but hoping to lose 23 more lbs to be at my goal. I am definitely happy with my results so far even though I stalled for the first time for 6 days 🙄 but I’m hoping the working out will increase the weight loss.

So I am open to all cardio, leg, arms and abs workouts!!

So send some suggestions my way please!!!

for the most fat burning dont eat before workout and do your lifting first followed by treadmill for at least 30 minutes, longer if your up to it.

the reasoning behind this is to deplete blood glucose levels during lifting and force your body to access stored fat.

stored fat is always the energy source of last resort, survival mechanism, so dont give yourself easy energy and let your body break down those fatty acid chains for fuel.

you dont mention being a diabetic but i have caught enough **** from others about forcing down blood glucose that if you have diabetic issues just disregard this post

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
