Hi! I have started a walking regimen. Today I went on a 40 minute walk that I think was around 2 1/2 miles. It felt really nice to be moving! I was wondering what kinds of things you guys do to help you lose weight? The scale has been stuck for me and I was hoping that getting moving picks it back up!

I too enjoy walking. I also like bike riding and weight lifting.

I hate to admit this but I don't do enough exercise. In the winter I use the Wii and thank god it's summer and got the pool open yesterday. Swimming is my choice of exercise.

I lift weights and take spinning classes. I'd add some walking too, but I hate when it's hot. This definitely isn't my season!

I was banded on 3/3 and joined Planet Fitness on 4/17 - about 6 weeks post-op. Now that I have been going, I have developed into kind of a gym nut. I try to go at least 4 times a week, if not more, for 1 and 1/2 to 2 hours.

I start out with 30 minutes on the treadmill - followed by 45 minutes or so hitting the weights and machinces. Then it's 30 minutes + on the elliptical.

For the treadmill, I am actually on the "Couch to 5k" program. I have NEVER been a runner at all in my life and this program is kicking my butt. But it feels great and I am starting week 5 tonight.

All in all - I usually burn 1000-1200 calories when I am there.

I take a Zumba class 3-4 times a week and use free weights 2 times a week. I also walk whenever I can.

Bicycle, some strength training and the gym when the weather sucks. (Love my bicycle! Thank you, hubby!)

I either do Hip Hop Abs or a Jillian Michaels workout DVD. If I don't get a chance to do that, I will go OnDemand (Comcast) and do the 1 or 2-mile walk for weightloss. It's awesome because it's a brisk power walk with other moves included, so it burns more calories than a standard walk outside.

I work out 7 days a week for about 2 hours a day. Mix of bike, elliptical, weights, and floor exersise(pushups, planks, etc...)

I mix it up with the following:

-running

-weight training/strength training

-yoga classes at the gym

-body conditioning classes at the gym

-bicycling

-swimming

I try to run 3-4 days a week, weight training 3 times a week, yoga once a week, body conditioning (which my friends and I affectionately call "torture class") once a week. I like to run one 5K a month. And I just started training for 10Ks! (I'm a graduate of C25K, and highly recommend it!)

Also, one of my friends has talked into a 65-mile bikeathon for the American Cancer Society in July. Woohoo! Busy training for that!

I started the "Couch to 5K" program in late March, and I have been jogging ever since. I jog between 3-4 miles, four days a week. I have a 5K race coming up this Saturday, and I'm totally excited! Here's the link to the website: Cool Running :: The Couch-to-5K Running Plan

I do Pilates and I have just started the couch to 5k program (which I have done in the past, it is a good program but I got too heavy to continue on it)

I am a 7 day a week spinner. It is amazing. I have dropped so many inches, people think i have lost all of this weight. I also do wt training 3 days a week. ...I am ecstatic with my results..no loose skin.......

Running, bootcamp and boxing. I like it pretty hardcore, walking's not my scene at all.

I love spinning on the odd occasion I can get to a gym too. But I really do love my bootcamp, boxing and running which are done outdoors (possible all year round in Melbourne).

This will my second time starting that couch to 5k program. I would be happy to complete week one without cheating. :biggrin:

Thanks guys for all of your posts! I'm only three weeks off, so my doctor told me to start with walking. What is this couch to 5K I keep seeing? You guys do ALOT of exercising! That's awesome! :Dancing_biggrin:
