    I'd definitely try to get at least 30 minutes of exercise in 3 days a week. That's what my surgeon recommends.

    @Kerry5570 my surgeon have me walking minimum a mile a day. He also has me in the gym minimum 4 days a week. Exercising definitely helps with weight loss and toning.

    Thanks all I will work on my exercise as my December target instead of looking at weight loss.

    Are there any tools you use for this or apps to keep track of how much you have done?

    You could also look into getting a pedometer or tracker like the Fitbit, they have apps and are great motivators.

    If you click on the bottom of the screen (there's a big + sign) it gives you the option to add exercise.
