I am now able to walk 2 miles without passing out. It took me 38 minutes with the average speed of 3.3. My goal is to walk 2 miles in 30 minutes.

Awesome!

WAY TO GO you can do it

Thanks

Fantastic!

Yay!!! Great job!

I was able to get my first walk in yesterday. Two weeks post op and I made it 1 mile and I wasn't tired, dizzy, lightheaded nor out of breath!

Keep up the good work

Thanks all

Great job! I always tell myself" I'm still lapping everyone on the couch!"

dionaw

Awesome! Good for you!

Fantastic job! I was down to the 15 min per mile for a while then I got a great big sinus infection and now I am working my way back to the 15 min mile. I am close. Keep on moving!!!

Way to go!!! You are doing AMAZING!!!

I hate the treadmill, so I normally walk outside. But, today we were having heavy rain and thunder, so I walked inside on my treadmill. I took it slowly, and stayed for 47 mins. I did under 2 miles, but was happy that I stayed on it that long. I normally walk 2-3 miles in 45 mins, but that is at a much faster pace. Took it slow, because as I said, I hate treadmill walking. I did read several chapters of a book on my Kindle FIre, tho'. Best wishes to all exercisers, and all us lapbanders. Karen

Have you tried the Leslie Sansone walking DVD's? I too hate walking on the treadmill, and since I live in the Chicago area, there are 4-5 months out of the year that walking outside is not possible. I actually prefer her dvds to walking outside - the time just flies. She also has you do some small things while walking which target additional muscle groups and they are super easy. Things like stepping to the side, and tapping your knee when you lift your leg like your marching. She claims that you do a mile in 12 minutes - but according to my fitbit it's actually a little less then that. I usually do her 5 mile walk which takes an hour, but my fitbit registers my steps as only 4.4 miles. I don't know which is right - I always thought my fitbit underestimates my steps and miles - but I'm ok with that as I'd much rather underestimate calories burned, while overestimating calorie intake!

And congrats to everyone on your efforts. Keep up the good work!

keep up the good work everyone! It gets easier all the time!!

Walking and doing it in real time is really fun. I also walk with my dog everyday I guess we walk two kilometers or so. Back and fort our house. It's a great weight loss regimen and usually I do it every morning before the dawn breaks.

I loaded my favorite music and that seems to help me get through walking and stair climber. The excercise really tightens and tones, finally weight is dropping!
