Cardio at your gym? Treadmill, etc. Walking works and everyone can do it.

When we lose weight, we get smaller all around but we keep our same body structure(type). That is why it's so important to mix your cardio with your weight training because that will reshape your body by building muscles and losing fat at the same time.

The thing with alcohol is that it can hide huge amounts of calories and unless you know exactly how many calories sit on your mojito, chances are that you're consuming more than you think, plus it sucks to workout the next day. I'm not saying not to go out and have fun but be aware that you're gonna have to workout or eat extra clean the rest of the week in order to compensate and still lose weight.

I would recommend both aerobic and weight training combined for changing body shape. That said not everyone will be able to lose the spare tire in the middle without a Tummy Tuck. It depends on age amount of stretch tissue, etc. I wish you best. It was Tummy Tuck for me.

Never gave it much thought....I have a drink now and then, especially when we go out.... a glass of wine most nights at home, and on occasion, like last weekend, a few beers....

I also go to the gym 5 days a week at 5:30am....run 5 miles, do weights but not as much as before....THEN I have my Breakfast which is a high Protein smoothie....

Sit in the sauna for 30 minutes, then whirlpool for 15....

I do not have any significant sagging skin issues...

What it all came down to is that I used to overeat, could not control myself... and was unable to be active....that's why I was Obese and very unhealthy.....now I eat about 1/3 of what I used to, and exercise often....I don't count calories, don't measure portion sizes (let the band do that)

My Dr. informs me there is no weight left for me to loose...if I did it would not be the healthy kind....

I'm 61 years old, had one heart attack a few years back, resulting in cardiac surgery....WAS a diabetic, HAD high blood pressure, cholesterol, you name it....ALL that is behind me now.

The best exercise is the one you will stick with.

I was so disappointed recently when I looked up calories in alcohol and found that most liquor is about 70 calories per ounce. One ounce! Not counting mixers! Not fair. I had just discovered the joys of spiced rum, too.

You look awsome !! Yes as well I would just eat and eat !! Would eat all bad stuff ' chips dips fast food !! You name it I ate it ! I do now have sagging spare tire. I was 241 now 155-158!give or take. My dr said I could loose 10 to 15 more but that's it. I have not gained in 2 years. I do need a fill. I am getting really hungry between meals. I have started back to the gym. I want to be able to run 5 miles like you. But it will take me a while !! My dr says I don't need to count either

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
