It's been one year since my lap band surgery (October 2012) I'm stuck as far as exercise. I work 8-430 Monday-Friday. What can I do to help get some of this weight off???

Hi Tiffany, I am a year out (11/12) and have been hitting stall after stall, after 6 months. I recently started T25 and drinking Shakeology for extra protein. I like that its 25 min and I definitely get a workout! If you have any questions let me know, I would love to help you in your journey!

I'm a year and a half out and live in the KC area (like you, I believe). Check out your local area. Are there community centers that you can join verses a gym? They can be less expensive and just as nice if not nicer. Snap Fitness is also a good choice if you don't like the crowd of a gym. Their treadmills aren't that great but they are open 24/7 and have a great variety of equipment. Do you like DVD's in your own home or enjoy getting outside? If you stay home, really work hard during the dvd. Don't pause, don't skip a part.. push yourself! My biggest advice is to get out there and do what you love. Exercise is grueling when it's stuff you don't enjoy doing. For example, I really hate the treadmill and taking walks.. but I love kayaking, rowing, strength training, etc. Look at your exercise equipment as an investment in you. Think of how much you're now saving on not eating fast food and junk, and put that money into keeping healthy. On top of finding what you love and doing it, strength train!! Building muscle will not only burn more calories but you will look and feel toned. It's a great feeling!
