I joined a Gym and Accountability!



Recommended Posts

Hello,

I have been MIA.. I've been having issues again about not losing weight and being at a standstill. I have been really depressed adn trying to get out of it!

I decided I needed to joing a gym so that I could work with weights and so that I could be more accountable to myself and working out.

I had my first session today and meat him again on Wednesday and Friday. I'm hoping to be on my own then.

I have been really bloated and retaining Water and have a sore calf. I have been taking Water pills for three days. My Trainer/Owner at the Gym told me that the water pills were not a good choice but that it will take a few days of working on stretching the muscle to get it back to normal.

I'm really excited about starting this and I hope that by the fourth of July I will be down at least one more size and 10 pounds...

Have any of you done better working out at the gym versus at home and on your own?

Keep up the good work! After I went to stage 5 I just felt like the skys were my limits and started overeating now I am back on track. I truly understand what you are saying. I now have a buddy for accountability so I can make better decision for myself. I will start walking soon after my son's karate classes start in a few weeks.

Congrats on joining the gym! I do much better at the gym than at home. I have way too many distractions at home from the kids fighting, phone ringing, to one of the kids trying to jump on the treadmill while I am walking. Once I am there, I can focus on what I need to and get it done. I also do Curves about 3 sometimes 4 times a week. Keep us posted on your progress!

Some days I can't make myself go. I really want the wii fit for those "I refuse to leave the house" days. Or when the temp is like it has been for the last few days it literally makes me weak to walk outside...well it's not the heat it's the humidity. IT's HORRIBLE

      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.
