Walking is just not cutting it!!



Recommended Posts

So, i'm sooooo careful about charting my weight daily and looking back over the last 4 weeks i've realized that i lose the most on Sunday and Monday, which coincide with the huge amount of dancing i do on Saturday night into Sunday morning... but for the days i'm just walking... zip!! SO... from now on i'm going to forget about walking... it uses a lot of time for very few calories burned... instead i'm going to focus on higher intensity aerobic exercise!!!

Videos I've downloaded:

- Bellydance Fitness for Weight Loss-- Too Hip with Rania

- Cardio Bellydance Workout with Dolphina

- Luscious- The Bellydance Workout

- Suhaila-- Fitness fusion Yoga

- Yoga Meltdown Level 1 & Level 2 (with Jillian Michaels-- i ♥ her!)

- Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred (very hard!! OMG)

- Jillian Michaels -- Banish Fat Boost Metabolism

- Jillian Michaels-- No More Trouble Zones

Aren't you in San Antonio? Where are you going to get these classes? At a particular gym?

I'm the opposite. I notice I lose the most when I'm walking. I walk about 8-10 miles at least 3 times a week. The weight melts off, and I feel amazing. I think I get that "walker's high". When I Zumba and go dancing, I have fun, but it's only ounces I lose.

8-10 miles is a lot! Good for you! Doesn't that take forever?

about 2.5 to 3 hours. It usually depends on how fast I walk. I discovered, though, walking is the one exercise that I really enjoy. It clears my mind. Plus when I don't walk my hips hurt really bad, I normally walk to open them up. After I have a long walk, then I can do other exercises. I love it.

I am with Shanny I love walking. I walk a little over two hours with hills five days a week and take my dog for a brist 45 minute walk every night. I like to call it my mental health time because I can hear myself think. Most days it doesn't even feel like exercise.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
