I find if I spend 30min on my exercise bike before work, I'm more alert during the day and feel better. And of course it burns off the calories. And if you can't spare 30mins a day on your health then maybe you have your priorities wrong

Good tricep exercises include, dips, Dumbbell Tricep Extension, Skull Crushers (don't be intimidated by the name) and Kick backs.

Pics taken today, can anyone else see a difference?

toning is a myth IMO. you either build muscle or you don't and higher weight with less reps i find to be better to build muscle. i would start of with 3 times a week then when you get your muscles to the size you want, cut back a bit.

Any exercise is better than none and as long as you are enjoying it and not over exhausting yourself then i don't see that there would be a problem. if you are really worried break it up into blocks of 30minutes or maybe try HIIT, I'm almost positive you won't be able to do 150minutes if you are doing Interval Training

Isaac 22 from Sunshine Coast Australia. banded for a year. Am working night shift so I'm finding it extremely difficult to meet new people and especially someone who would be interested in me

Congrats, the next week or so will make you wonder why you done it but when you start seeing results it wil all be worth it. Good luck

I thought I was imagining things, but I too think that people who have always been skinny never get weight loss and how hard it can be. Luck for me I have a really supportive family and one of my best mates who has lost a lot of weight so know what its like.

I got a pair of long leg SKINS. I wear them under my normal work out gear whenever I play sport or exercise. The feel great, prevent chafing and my legs don't get as much of the lactic acid jelly feeling after workouts

Long time no see. I had a check up and fill a few days ago. so far after 12 months and including a 2 month period of shameful falling off the wagon. I have officially lost 27kgs (60lbs).
would love to lose another 5-10 by christmas. I am well and truly motivated now.

Not sure if I have posted in here but I am from Sunshine Coast, Australia

Love life is probably worse for me post band, probably cause i spend most of my day at work or at the gym and don't get much time to meet people. Meeting another bandster would be awesome though, someone who knows what it's like

I was always fairly big however I liked to play sport, anyway long story short, It seemed I thought I was bigger than I actually was and was embarrassed to go to training for my team sport because everyone was laughing at me always being last when doing laps of the field etc.
Once I stopped training I gained more and more weight until I finally woke up to myself. and I beat the issue of being embarrassed by setting up my garage as a gym so now I don't have any excuse to not train.

Hi,I am a newbie, and am looking into getting banded by Dr Iam Baxter on the Sunshine Coast. Has anybody had any experiences with Dr Baxter or any other surgeons on the Coast? Also, i got quoted a rough price of around $12,300. I will be paying cash. Is there any cheaper surgeons around the Sunshine Coast area? I am even willing to travel to Brisbane or Gold Coast if it saves me a bit of money.
Sorry for the million questions, there is so much to think about. Thanks for all your help,
M
I got done by Dr Baxter, excellent doctor. Highly recommend him and his team

I think my luck just changed, I got a response from one of those dating sites and she seems really nice and interested
I guess I see how things turn out

Congrats mate, you will feel like crap for a while but it will be totally worth it!
-
Good luck too both of you. Although there are times you will curse the band, You wont ever regret it. Its the best thing I've ever done.
And as comepickmeup said, Water will be your best friend for the next few weeks

Ok my first fill I had 3mm put into a 5mm band and jeez is it restrictive. I now have found out I need to chew ten times as long.
I also had a weigh in and have lost 9kgs to date, including being unfilled over chrissy and new years!
Im feeling great, sometimes i feel hungry but i dont crave food as much as i used to.
Oh and the other day i got something else put in my body :wink: And I just wanted to show it off

My mum Has had a band for 3 years and for the first 18 months she had complications with infections. Best thing to do is consult your doctor and stick with it.

those bands are a gimmick IMO. best just to save up to get some dumbbells if your serious about wanting to do weight training. besides that you could start doing general body weight exercises like, push ups, dips, squats, lunges, pull ups, most ab work
