I will copy the same thread for about a wee****il i get regualr familar faces. Thanks everyone that shared there challenge yesterday. We all can help each other in so many ways.
I started this post partly to start more activity within this forum. People starting with BMI's 50+ share an extra something in common and understand the challenges that it takes to become healthy and stay motivated even after a stall. Most of us face the overwhelming reality that not even 100, 125 or 150 lbs is enough to get us to a fully healthy state. This daily post is just to announce what you have done physically to add to your overall health. As we all know, exercise is an essential key and it provides benefits in tremendous ways.
My heaviest was 383 lbs and by surgery date i was 368 lbs. I have walked from week one following surgery and along the course i have gotten discouraged but always stayed passionate to continue my journey. It was hard and i sometimes cried along the way but i feel so much better because exercise is fueling me with energy, hope, inspiration and the drive that's needed to continue long term. I workout 4-5 days a week and my activity changes from day to day however, cardio is always in the program. Rather your 2 months or 8 yrs post op we're all going through the same fight equally. I've had to build up to where i am today but it doesn't matter if you can only walk 10 minutes to start, the point is; YOU'VE STARTED.

177 lbs GONE & Dancing:)
I'll try to get in at least a half hour on the treadmill and work on BuTT area, no stomach crunches for me, Doctor said yesterday that the pain im having is from surgery and Hernia feels like it's coming back. Damn! thats just the area i wanted to focus on. Oh well , lots of walking (LOL)
I did my usual 30 min on my recumbent bike. I went up to level 7 on resistance (out of 16) and it's still pretty easy. Should probably go higher and ride more than once a day. My tushie gets sore so I can't stay on it more than 30 min at a time.
Looking forward to more walking once I lose more weight. Can't walk very far right now due to arthritis. HOWEVER, it was very cool that last weekend I visited my Mom and we went to lunch. I had some extra energy and it was too cold to be outside, so I shopped at Pier One. I was able to walk around the store MUCH longer than usual. Very encouraging.

Food is for sissies. REAL women exist on skim milk, protein powder, broth and air.....
