Does your Lower Back Hurt after Using a Treadmill?

My new year's resolution was to add regular exercise to ensure I shed my last 60 lbs. I'm working up to walking daily and aerobics twice weekly. So far, I have walked twice a week and aerobicized twice a week. Time is a huge problem for me, so I thought the treadmill would solve the walking issue. I could exercise in the privacy of my home after my girls go to sleep. However, my lower back hurts like hell the morning after walking 20-25 minutes on the treadmill. Is this just my body getting used to it or am I not using the proper posture? At this point, I much prefer natural walking to the treadmill, but with my schedule, I just can't fit it in daily yet.<br><br>I've been down about my weight loss slowing and only losing 15 lbs. in the last two months. I want to ensure I lose the rest of my weight and it's feeling out of reach right now. I'd appreciate encouragement and advice from other post-ops on how to deal with this and ultimately meet my goal. Thanks.
