DON'T sit around and watch TV. If you took all the diet and exercise books on the planet and reduced them to their common denominator, they'd be 3 pages. Page One: EAT LESS Page Two: EXERCISE MORE Page Three: REPEAT AS NECESSARY Bottom line, any kind of exercise that does not result in injury is good exercise. Having two or three exercise routines helps alleviate boredom. This can be a simple as having three different routes for walking, or doing walking, dancing, and resistance bands. The biggest benefit to me of the Lap Band has been portion control. I was already eating well, I was just eating too much. The 10# I took off immediately after my first fill had me feeling much lighter on my feet and I found that exercising wasn't nearly as herculean an effort as it had been 40# earlier.
