Question:
How often do you exercise now that you're at goal?

I'm at my goal weight and did so by exercising at least 4-5 days a week with cardio first then weight lifting every other day. Now that I'm at goal, I decided to place more emphasis on weight lifting. Anyway, what are YOU doing now that you're at goal? I think exercise is an important and integral part of this but I want to make sure I'm doing it smartly (is that a word?). Thanks in advance for your help!    — Kimberly L.

hiya! i am below goal weight and i exercise 4-5 days a week. i'm not really a cardio girl ...i do just enough to warm up then i lift weights. i love all the machines and the free weights too. i reserve one day to only do what i call "relaxing" exercise: swimming and/or yoga.... {{hugs}} kate

For me, exercise is more important now than ever. I've been at or below goal for almost a year, but if I get lazy about the weight training and cardio, here come 3-5 lbs that are a real bear to get rid of...don't let this happen to you, it's depressing. Congratulations on your success!

I walk 5 days a week at a pretty good intensity/pace. I'm not setting the world on fire, but it works for me. Also, I just signed up for my first charity walk!! -Kim open RNY 7/17/01 -152

I do cardio 3-4x a week, weightlifting 3x a week, which is down from 4-5x per week that I was doing while losing. Just found I was getting a bit "pooped" on a busier workout schedule, plus, my workouts are stronger and better if I take two or three days off per week. I agree -- without exercise, I don't think I would've made it to goal, and I sure don't think I could stay here!

I'm not at goal yet but my bariatric weight loss program says 30 minutes, 3x per week.
