Today was the first day I really exercised since surgery and I was to do 30 min on the eliptical. It was just slow and steady but a start none the less.

Way to go!

It was a great great start! You have taken a huge step. Excersise will increase your speed of weighloss and ensure your gaining muscle not loosing it. Keep it up!

Great job. Keep it up!

Great work. You should be so proud of yourself!

Every little bit helps and the next time will be easier. You will soon be able to add to it and increase your exercise. Once you get going, it feels pretty good and you feel so proud and in control.

Keep up the great work!

I can't wait to start a regiment of exercise. My band was installed on 7/21 and I was told no exercise for 6 weeks. I have been doing dancing from Just Dance, the Wii game but nothing hard core. Doc will be pissed if I bust my stitches which should all be just about absorbed by now.

I go so slow I'm not really tired when I'm done. It's just to get into a routine. Now shoveling out the horse stall last weekend may be another story:) I only took a small amount on the shovel, tried to stay under 15lbs (my limit for 3 weeks)

Congrats! Just had a big NSV.. My Hemoglobin A1C for my diabetes went from 7.3 in Feb down to 5.9 which is in the normal range. My doc lowered my diabetes meds from 2000 mg to 500 mg.

Congratulations to both of you! It is great that you are starting exercise.
