Excercise help your plauteaus?



Recommended Posts

I've been at a plauteau and I'm going to start working out this week and was wondering how did excercise help your plauteaus/ weight loss?

Yes, exercise will help with your weight loss. Works for me.

Exercise is essential for losing fat, lifelong exercise. Adopting a lifestyle of activity is like hiring a bodyguard against fat.

At 7 months post op I'm finally exercising. My weight loss is now verrrrry slow, but I'm still losing but now I'm toning. I've gotten more compliments with my last 3 pound loss (a month) due to the firming and toning. Plus emotionally, it's the bomb! Feel so much happier and excited about life when I'm active!

I encourage exercise but I ave been at a three-four week plateau and am only 8 weeks out and I do the ellyptical 5 days a week for 45 minutes and it doesn't seem to be making a dent. I do feel good about exercising and feel stressed the days I skip so creating a good habit is rewarding. Just want to say that exercise may or may not help the weight loss. I was told (don't remember by who) that weight loss is 70% diet and 30% exercise.

I had to stop exercising due to having my gallbladder removed and it took about a month for me to get back on track. The scale has gone up a few pounds but I look and feel better. A lot of people are commenting on my weight loss. I would recommend starting but stay away from the scale for a few weeks.

I am 10 weeks out and frustrated by a 5 week plateau. I am going to have to start working out HARDER- but I thought the weight loss would be a little more consistent during at least the first 6 months!

I feel the same way. I hit a plateau at about 3/4 weeks out and since then I have only lost 13lb since and am in week 13. 1 lb a week makes you want to scream! The thing is I'm keeping my calories low, protien high, and working out.

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

      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! 😞
