I'd definitely be up for it if I lived there. I WISH I lived there.

(Good luck nonetheless.)

I can't work out by myself either.....

That's why I wear an Ipod and work out with U2, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Bad Co, Bob Segar, Pink Floyd....to name just a few....(showing my age)

Fitness Pal friends group is helpful for many people in this area - The Best thing for me was group fitness classes ie... Bootcamp - boxing - spin - Zumba - Power Yoga etc...

The bottom line is mental for me - exercise has nothing to do with "like it" and everything to do with its necessary. Like bathing and brushing your teeth it's necessary every day and you do it.

A secret ... You will see measurable differences in the exercise realm much faster than the weight loss scale realm. Usually within 7 days of consistent exercise you can see (can walk 15min instead of only 10 for ex) and feel a difference.

I have yet to meet a person yet that has lost and kept off significant weight without incorporating exercise - walking - running - etc...

Hope in Your Future is Power in Your Present!

Hey : )

I KNOW how you feel about the gym ; ) I do adopted what I call my "hospital" mind set... You know how they give those paper robes at the hospital (or two n my case) but they never really reach in the back ... But it's not like you have a choice - so at the hospital I would hang my price up at the door and then pick it up when I left ; ) So at gyms I did the same thing : ) also certain gyms like Planet Fitness are geared to down play the look at me look at me crowd - they are also a ridiculous value $ 10 bucks a month

Thanks for all the words of encouragement. I started to walk at night. Late night. Hopefully I can keep it up.

I have always thought, everyone is looking at me because I look at everyone. They don't look and I am not the biggest person at the gym. I also go during the early afternoon and it is empty then. I know you work.

Don't let other bother you. At least you are trying to do something. Also having a trainer show you what to do for your body and pains helps, too. I have not done any classes yet because I don't think I could last one hour doing anything. Tell hub to join with you. I go with hub and feel safe. I can be very shy when it comes to things like that.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
