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
