Scared To Exercise



Recommended Posts

From what I've read about Biggest Loser they work out hours every day. It does not sound like a healthy thing to me.

I'm sorry to hear about your plantar fascitis. I have foot pain too (Although I imagine yours is probably worse) and it can make standing unbearable at times. Everyone's ideas so far sound really good. I know I always enjoy swimming and can always do it no matter how my feet are feeling.

I've been to the biggest loser ranch, twice. They have changed their program a lot since they first started. Yes you do work out....a lot !!!! Lol but they have also incorporated many other programs that help with the mental aspect of weight loss. They truly have some fantastic caring and motivating people there. I even made some lifelong friends while at the ranch. Although I have now chosen the option of getting sleeved to help in my weight loss journey I never received one ounce of negativity from any of them. I really though I was going to get a lot of " you are just taking the easy way out" & " you should be able to do this on your own" etc. but they are all supportive and just want whats best for me. Biggest Loser does push you hard but only because they know that we are all capable if so much more, they just showed me the way and now it's my job to run with it!

Its a great experience! No it isnt hard to get in, you just have to pay, lol. Its a full week of working out and eating healthy, but its all about getting you out of your comfort zone and showing you what you are capable of. So often we limit ourselves because of our own fears. Let me tell you, I did things there that I never thought I could do. Like run at 7.0 on the treadmill. When I started I was only running at a 4.5 maybe 5 max. You go on amazing hikes in some of the most beautiful country anywhere. And the instructors there are some of the most caring people Ive ever met. If you want to google it you can find out what their prices are right now, they do have specials from time to time. Its not cheap but its so worth it. Even after I get sleeved and lose the wieght I want i will still go back. I love it there.

      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.

      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!!
