Tell me I'm crazy



Recommended Posts

I'm walking on the treadmill at least once a day, sometimes 3 times a day. But I haven't started lifting weights yet. After 20 years of gaining weight I just don't want to do anything to slow down the weight loss. Am I nuts? I've lost about 80lbs so far & got 50 to go.

Hard to tell Jim? You need to fill out your profile so we know more about your scenario?

80 lbs in one year is good, 80 is always good.

Exercise of any kind is good.

Weight training is very good for weight loss , the more lean muscle you have the more fat you burn :)

Lifting could conceivably slow down your weight loss, but not your fat loss. If you lift long enough you will replace fat with muscle as long as you continue your good diet practices.

well, then dont revert back to old habits that made us need WLS in the first place. that is what will make you gain...as long as you keep eating (well and it seems as if you are as you have lost 80 pounds) and exercising, you are well on your way..

You can always use weights ON the treadmill to crank up the intensity. Nothing crazy, 10-25 lbs and do curls, punches or shoulder presses on a steep incline intermittently. You may need to slow down your speed. a good way to jazz up your cardio!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
