    I know this is posted in the "mens room".. but ill put my 2c worth anyway.
    If you have not been exercising you should build up to it, otherwise you will be sore and could possiby injure yourself if you do too much too quick...
    Start by doing cardio, walking and a pace that is vigorous enough that you have to slightly catch your breath to have a conversation...
    Then once this gets easier increase the incline and speed.. when you get to the point that it is no longer a struggle, alternate between cardio and weights...
    Aim to exercise 4-5 times a week, allow yourself 2 rest days, preferably after your weight training days.
    If you can afford it, perhaps meet with a personal trainer to create a plan for you... and to teach you to lift properly and give you the right amount of repetitions for each target area.
    If hiring a trainer is not possible... invest in a range of hand weights, dumbells, kettlebells and resistance bands....( there are literally hundreds of videos on youtube that have info on what to do and reps required.. just search for the target areas... bodybuilding.com has some good advice too.

    NeedaBreak4Me got a reaction from NewAdventure2016 in Most worried about ...   
    I also have told no one but my immediate family...
    But at 3 months out, you can't really tell... just looks like i eat small portions.. I've been to work and social events, dinners, funeral, engagement... i survived by saying i was doing low carb high Protein... its believable and no one questions.
    Excuses for 3 weeks out is difficult.. especially if you are on liquid..
    Some excuses..
    - you are not hungry
    -you are on a diet
    -you are observing a religious fasting ritual
    -stomach bug
    -doing a fast for charity
    -on a liquid juice fast to loose weight
    Thats all i can think of right now... maybe others have a more imaginative excuse.

    I completely agree with @@Dub on the point of not "embracing the stall"
    But at 3 weeks, there is nothing to embrace, its normal and natural for your body to have a panic after surgery, you are swollen, you have been cut, stabbed and had your insides played around with.
    Give yourself a break and allow yourself to heal properly... follow your plan, walk gently but consistently, get your fluids in and focus on not getting dehydrated... the weight will come off when your body is ready.
    Once you are past healing and eating solids, hell yeah... go crazy and work that butt off to break a stall.

    Don't be too hard on yourself... this will not be the first or last stall.. we do not lose at a constant rate...
    For me... i stay the same for a week or so, then have a drop, rinse and repeat...
    Stop stressing yourself out it is counterproductive... you will only stress yourself out and drive yourself nuts!... you are a lower bmi so weight loss will be slow and steady... every pound adds up in the end..
