I never was one for much exercise, probably because it got harder and harder to do as I gained weight. The day I came home from the hospital (1 day post op), I took a walk around the block. The next morning, I started on the treadmill and did 20 minutes at 2 mph. As soon as I was comfortable with that, I increased my time by 5 minutes and .2 mph at various intervals when ready until I got to 3.5 mph for 1 hour. Then I extended to 3.5 mph for 4 miles (about 70 minutes and held there until I felt comfortable. At that point I was burning 429 calories but I wanted more, so I began to play with the elevation, a little at a time. I am now up to 14% and burning 800+ calories per 70 minute session. Works well for me. I've lost 93 lbs so far and I'm 12 lbs from goal in less than 6 months.
I chose the treadmill instead of walking outside because I didn't want to have any excuse to cancel my exercise in case of rain or heat here in AZ. Work every angle you can to keep on track, and good luck.....

Mary, feel free to add me on MFP and you can see what I eat. I'm currently on a full liquid diet as I have a leak and I can get in almost 1200 calories a day - yes even on liquids - 7 months out. And slowly you will be able to eat more, as you get into maintenance mode. I work out a LOT (like 6-7 miles a day most days a week) but I never eat back my calories. Maybe a few, but no way all.
I also had the same question you did ... but you do slowly up your calories. At some point, you stall if you don't and ppl get so frustrated and are becoming hungrier. Hello... try changing it up and up your calories. Bam, I did and major loss. I still try to keep it at 1200 or so. But my metabolic test that my dr. did said I burn calories at a faster rate than most (who knew that mess when I was fat?) but I could eat up to 1650 a day and be able to maintain.
And with the wrong foods, I can easily do that (hello olive garden anyone? lol.. heck even a package or two of almonds, bam that's 200 calories in 2 ounces!). Keep tracking and if you do on MFP, feel free to add me, I share my journals.

honey bee i wondered where you were. i hope you are feeling much better

Sadly it was probably the 40-50 pound mark!
