Wow. I know that diet is the cornerstone of weight loss but I didn't think it was that much for me. If my diet is on point and I don't move the scale doesn't either. I was just curious as to what others are doing to change things up. Do you mind giving me an example of what you eat in a day? Thanks so much.

You can go back and edit or add a line to your original post... click were it says 'more' and then 'edit'...

I like doing beach body videos at home...roll out of bed and do it... check it off the list. I can do more later if I want, but I know it is done...

21-day-fix is the core of what I do...also have done Cize and 22 minute hard corp

I have some beach body dvd's too...that would be a good way to mix things up. Thanks for the idea!

Different subject...But the same idea.  Every morning post op for about the first 5 years I would have two spoonfuls of Wendy's Chili...Every morning first thing.  I would throw in some mixed vegetables in the container too.  Usually eat it cold.  But I wanted to make sure there was something good in my system in case I got busy and started to eat junk later that day.  Similar to people starting their day with whey protein isolate.  Just me...

Post op I went from one exercise to another to find the right fit for ME.  My exercise patter won't be yours.  You have to find the exercise you will enjoy and stick with.  I thought post op I would go back to racquetball, tennis, golf, maybe basketball and swimming.  Well I still have a bad back post ops...So all that pounding of the back was out.  Also I am cold ALL the time...So swimming was out too.  And that was the one thing I thought I would go back to. 

So because of my back, (and I live in California), I took up the bicycle, walking, mowing lawns and maintaining fruit trees and grape vines (pruning, spraying, tying, thinning, picking).  Who would have thought??  I am 61, over 10 years post op, on blood thinners (two heart attacks), and my skin scratches easily.  So it's sort of a no brainer for me.  I do movements that are careful and planned.  On my bike I ride defensively.  I ALWAYS assume that the drivers in the cars (and motorcycles...That one nearly killed me) don't see me and may not yield.

Anyways...Just saying find your fit for being fit and go for it.  As you get older, your exercise routine will change as your body changes.  Brian
