Get a weight bench and free weights, along with some dumbbells + an exercise bike. Another option is using flex bands. You don't need to take time to travel to a gym or pay for a membership.

Body weight exercises, push-ups, crunches, bicycle crunches, lunges, burbees, do a goggle search for "body weight" exercises and you'll find several differnt ways to modify them based on your level of fitness. Try walking / jogging, walk for a bit then jog for a few blocks, each week try to do a little more.

Wishing you much success on your journey.

I need to build muscle under my skin, I see my skin getting flabby after 50 lbs weight loss and want to put something under there!

If you're a beginner at weight training and can afford it, definitely get a gym membership and personal trainer. I swear by mine! Also, you can hurt yourself lifting if you're not sure of what you are doing. I promise it's worth it!

      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! 😞
