What are some easy exercise I can do weight 589 pounds, also I have hard time walking
I'm new to getting healthier as well, and at 454 I'm having similar struggles with exercises and mobility in general. I was doing OK, but got COVID in 2020 and physically never made a comeback. I'm trying to just start where I'm at. I can stand and walk 20-30 feet, so I do that whenever I can and I'm logging my steps, which I want to increase each week. I'm doing chair exercises too. I got an app called Beginner's Workout and it has workouts for mobility challenges - seated workouts and such. I made a deal with myself that whenever I go to the bathroom I take a few more steps than necessary and I do a seated workout while I'm there, like 8-12 reps of like lifting my arms above my head and reaching up. My arms are heavy so it's like lifting a weight. When I brush my teeth bending over the sink I'm doing a few leg lifts. It's a starting place. Best of luck. Start with what you can do and take it from there.
I don't know where to begin. I've never posted on a forum like this before. I don't know if I can be helped. But I'm scared. I am considered morbidly obese and recently it has come to attention to a disturbing degree. I am scared that it's too late for me and my bell will be ring soon if I don't do something.
I can't sleep currently. When I do get to sleep I wake up frequently. In the mornings I'm nauseous. I feel myself getting worse despite everything I have tried.
And I have tried what seems like everything. Diets are a bust, though I'm sure I don't have to say how hard it can be to stay in line. Exercise is a joke and not because I can't do it. My work requires I be incredibly active. Yesterday alone I walked 8 miles, and that was a shorter day. So what now? Surgery? I'm terrified not to mention that there is no way to afford it (I'm not asking for financial support). As I approach my 30th birthday I'm horrified. I don't want to die.
In truth that might be a little hyperbolic and I'm aware that I might have past trauma that makes me worry. My father used to tell me near daily that I would die before I was 30 if I don't change my habits since I was a child.
(Side note: I'm not sure I was emotionally abused growing up. But it feels like I have horror stories)
So I come here, to a place in which I am a stranger with a hope that someone can help me... Or advise me... Or just to know what I go through because I've never met someone who knows what it's like and frankly I feel like an alien in a strange land.
This was the single hardest thing I've ever written.
Hi all,
my name is Carrielee and I am 31 years old.
I have battled being overweight / obesity since I was a young child and I've finally gotten the courage to taking the steps toward a healthier self.
At 31, I'm 5 feet tall and weigh 278 pounds, at a BMI of 54.29, it's time to do this.
I suffer from a myriad of weight related health conditions and fear an early death if I don't take control of my weight and health.
I suffer from acid reflux, hypertension, high cholesterol, Type II diabetes, arthritis, limited mobility, chest pain/angina, sleep apnea, liver disease...I'm slowly killing myself and I'm tired of it.
Any tips for a first consult with a WLS surgeon? My appointment is on April 25.
You have to explain her that you can't stay like this anymore, it becomes dangerous for your health. You need this surgery so you can start a new life, a healthy lifestyle. If she still doesn't want to go for a surgery, I would recommend you to use injectable hcg. In this way, she will start losing weight without doing any activities, but it's also important to limit the number of daily calories that she takes from food, so the result will be faster. She needs to start eating healthy.
