So I am three months post op and down 50lbs. I am 200lbs and my goal is 160. I need to step it up!! To be honest I haven't worked out one day this whole 3 months!! Ok sure I walked and did a little but nothing you'd think it'd take to burn off 50 lbs. What are some exercises you do?? What helps you stay focused and not get bored or exercise?? Now that its winter you can go outside much. I need help to become more active!! I can't stop now!! 40lbs to go!!!

First of all congrats on the weight loss!!! I don't like to lift weights or anything like that... But found a route I like to walk outside and faithfully do it everyday no matter what the weather... Key is find something you really like and just get off your butt and do it!!!!

Kristy above is soooooo right...... find a exercise you like and you will want to workout !!! I love to run and look forward to getting my run on daily. Exercise is a great stress reliver and it also melts away the lbs. on me. I was at a stall during the summer, I am almost 9 month post op. I increased my workout time and intensity, I wear a heart rate monitor to keep my heart rate in the fat burning zone etc. The key if find what you like to do and just do it !!!!

It's just hard sometimes bc I get bored or something. I've found I like riding a spinning bike with a video. I'll step it up and try it more.

Maybe once I increase the exercise and see more weight coming off ill keep up with the work out

Cmarie... Trust me when I say, no one used to hate exercising more then me. I loved sitting on the couch eating my life away. It's all about changes in all aspects of our life. Keep doing it and trying new things. I love walking but not around a track which is why I do a neighborhood. Keep trying different things. Eventually your body will crave some sort of exercise. It really does!!! Keep your chin up you will find something that works for you. And it definatly increases weight loss or at least inches lost when the scale doesn't move.

Keep your exercise interesting and switch it up... which will also challenge your body. As I said above, I love to run but everyother day I use my elipitcal. You may want to try the Wii they have some awesome workouts that really get your heart pumping and they are fun too !!!

Thank you!! And yeah I've heard to switch up the exercise so it keeps your body guessing. I will try some Wii games like dancing I like those. Thanks for the replies!

I went today to set up my gym membership and the lady told me to come back Dec 26th, they're having a membership sale, $15 cheaper a month fees and no initiation fee! Woohoo! It's so worth it to save the money, considering its only 2 weeks away, I'm only 3 weeks out from surgery.
