Surgery was Aug 29th and I weighed 253. Today I weigh 216. I'm pretty happy with that. But it isn't my final goal. I want to weigh 165. I feel stuck on how to get there!! I know eat better. Which I have. Once you get the surgery its not like you can really eat bad again. Well I can't. I have to start hardcore exercise! And I haven't been. I've never been an exercise kind of person, clearly why I became fat. I joined a gym but its boring. I have a bike and treadmill but that can be boring. I'm thinking about joining a dance/exercise class. Ugh help I need some encouragement to kick some weight off!!

You can do this. We both can do this. I need 14lbs more but I'm already size 7 so that was my goal even though not the weight I want.

Hey it sounds like your doing great. Maybe you should try taking a boxing class. It's fun and you a lot of calories

I love to jog and take my dogs for really long walks, I love music so I crank up my MP3 player put my ear buds in and go....... but Iove to jog and I also love to exercise my hi energy dogs as well so its a win-win situation. As I alwasys say... find a exercise you like and then it will not feel like you HAVE to exercise.. you will actually look forward to it. I am a total morning person so I am best at getting up early and working out even before I start my day then I'm done anything else after my a.m. workout is extra like walking the doggies after work which is bonus. You may want to try the Wii... I have some great workouts on the Wii Fit that really get your heart pumping and they are fun too !!! I was at a stall on losing the weight for a month and a half.. I was 216 at surgery and had only lost 40 lbs... I started freaking so I started jogging and increased my exercise time and intensity and I lost another 3 lbs. So now I am out of my slump and starting to loose again. Try different esercises or do a bunch of different things so you don't get board. Eating properly and exercise are the two major things that make this surgery a success. So get out there and start sweating !!!!

Thank you! I know I have to believe in myself! And the boxing sounds fun.

The boxing on the Wii is really fun too it totally get you moving and sweating. Don't mind me... I love my Wii

Im lucky that they have just open a group for " the large girls" of the village where i live at the small studio here. The girls meet 2 times a week and do something different each lesson. All the lessons are especially for us- nothing too stressful. Always fun and a good laugh - and we are all beginners which make everyone feel comfortable. Yesterday we had a "drums alive" lesson which is drumming on large balls and stepping around it. I think i brunt more calories from laughing.!!

Like you love your Wii I love my Xbox Kinect! I do several dancing games and it's so fun following along and dancing that you don't even realize you're exercising!
