wow , 7 miles . i gotta get moving. i run 20 mins. ok , jog . i do 40 mins on the elliptical trainer . i want to get up to the 5mile run. how long does it take to go 7 miles? how much weight have you lost, and how long have you been running?

Hi Cat, it took me about 3 months to get to a 7 mile jog/run. I have lost quite a bit of weight, prior to my tummy tuck (yesterday) I was down to 151lbs. They removed 9lbs of skin on me and 3lbs of fat due to lipo but I am really swollen now. I hope to be at goal in another month or so.

Where the heck is everybody? No one working out?

I want to try and start up running myself, but I know it will be a slow process in the beginning. I used to be very athletic back in the day, and strive to get there again.

Telly - I'd love to get some exercise in but with my incision infection I was told I couldn't even do housework until it heals up. BUT when I am feeling healthy I will gladly take you kicking my butt into gear!

Sunday am: 40 minutes on elliptical using Cardio Coach

Sunday afternoon: 2.5 miles of hiking on a local mountain bike trail

Ok Chrispygirl, I do understand. I'll wait till I'm all healed up to kick some serious workout ass. I will get you guys into 4 pack gear before long! Even if it takes 2 years.

Good going Lisa!

Plans for today - post surgery (I read that light exercise is permissable, depending on how healthy a person is, I'm goin for it!)

Cardio - 10:30AM

15 minutes -Treadmill walk @ speed of 2.5mph w/1% incline

Weight training

Bicep Curls - 15 reps, 3 sets @ 10lbs

Tricep Curls - 15 reps, 3 sets @ 10lbs

Cardio - 5:30PM

15 min - Treadmill walk @ speed of 2.5mph w/ 1% incline

Everyday I do (2) 45min. workouts fast walk/run on the treadmill. One in the a.m. and one in the P.m.

I'm going to make it do what it do Telly!! Work it , work it, work it!!!!!

I was banded on 9-6-06. I am walking 2 miles a day and doing a 20 minutes exercise video with a power band. When you start exercising as much as some of you are doing, do you increase your calorie intake or is that self-deafeating?

Definately. If you amp up your workouts and you're doing 1 hour of cardio a day and maybe 1 hour weight training, you should be 1,200 - 1,500 calories per day to feed your energy burning.... in turn strengthening your metabolism.

As a guideline...(example)

If you amp up your workouts and keep your caloric intake the same, you'll lose weight fast but you'll most likely enter into what they call "starvation mode". You can still lose weight moderately taking in the minimum calories up to about 2,000 calories if you run. Marathon runners take in 3k - 5k calories per day. They have to feed their calorie burning and they still lose weight or maintain.

Monday a.m.: 45 minutes elliptical

Tuesday p.m.: 30 minutes Step Class

 

Yes Telly, I quite the step class 30 minutes early.

 

My stomach was feeling a little funny with all of the jumping around (I can't do anything "lightly") so I thought I'd better stop before I ripped a stitch!!

 

There's another step class in the morning at 6am, so I'll see if I can go a little longer tomorrow.
