i know what you are saying, lay on my back and go, were did they go?....found them almost in my armpit lol....honestly this exercise helps.....lay on your back on the bed, head almost on the edge, take 3-4 pound weights in your hands, raise them above your head and back, i do 50 reps 3 times......also take weights laying on your back, weights in hand a breast area, raise up and then down 50 reps....3 x it truely works

Thank you! Yep, I've already got two sets of love handles! I just didn't know how to get rid of that higher set! Ha!

probably any exercise that targets your pectoral (chest) muscles will help...at the gym it's called doing "butterflies"..you can do it with hand weights like saddie suggested too. I do them sitting up instead of lying down, and incorporate some bicep work as well. Hold your arms out in front of you with weights in hand, bend your arms upward towards your sholders (you can brace your upper arms on your boobs for this part if you want, this works your biceps), then with your arms still curled up, open and close your elbows to work your pects, squeezing your chest muscles on the "close" part. To tone the sides of my chest (gets your upper back too, think of the V-shape weightlifters get) I like to do "pull downs". This is hard to do at home unless you have an exercise band you can attach at the top of a door. Then you are shaping and toning your lattisimus dorsi...LOL What ever you choose make sure you start slow with light weights, no since causing yourself pain or injury!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
