Banded August 2012

Hey fellow banders :-)

OMG fist post and I'm just a tad nervous :-)

I've been banded just over 5 months, starting weight was 128kg's I've lost 30kg so far but I am worried I'm not doing the right thing/not enough when it comes to toning/tightening my skin (tummy and arms mainly).

I go to the gym for 2 hours, 4 days out of the week and run and swim the other 3 (have had a slack 2 weeks though) When at the gym I do an hour cardio which includes- bike, rower, treadmill and x-trainer then I spend half hour doing weights, then the remaining 30 minutes doing crunches, push-ups, planks, and some oblique exercises...

I drink plenty of Water to keep myself hydrated which I know is one of the keys to keeping the elasticity in your skin- but if anyone else has any other helpful tips that would be A-MAZING!!!!

Thanks a whole heap and happy banding :-D

Change up your routine or what you eat. Our bodies get use to the same old stuff. Like maybe just do cardio or something like that. Eat some oatmeal instead of egg. Just examples. High protein also is good n a necessity. Good luck to you
