Awesome job!!

you have done an awesome job! Did you hit any stalls in those 7 months?

@@Kathy812

Oh yes, many stalls. The weight loss has never been a steady drop. It plateaus, it may go up a few then the weight drops again. You are doing great. How has you're weight loss been?

How much do you exercise?

I feel my weight loss is slower than most. Lost 15lb's (2 week pre-op diet) & averaging 10 per month post- op, Sleeved 10/17. To be honest, I'm horrible w/exercise. Only working out 1 or 2 days a week. If I can do 3 days consistently, I might gain some momentum. You are my inspiration.

I have had most of my weight drop in the first few month's. It was dropping about 10-15 pounds and it has slowed down now. Exercise was a requirement at first for me. It changed into something that makes me feel good and I take my stress out at the gym. ( I no longer cope with stress by eating)

Exercise before surgery was none. After surgery I walked 30 minuets on my treadmill about 3 day's a week. With the weight coming off I was able to up my walking to an hour about 5 days a week. At three months out my treadmill became boring. I sold it on craigslist and bought a gym membership.

At four months I was at the gym for an hour doing cardio. I switch up my cardio so my body does not get the chance to hold on to the weight long. (elliptical machine, lateral machine and jogging on a treadmill) I pushed up the resistance as I got stronger. I also added weight lifting three days a week for a half hour.

What a difference. I have found that not only do i exercise because I physically can. Now it is something I love. (who knew) I am working with my trainer at the gym. I still do an hour of cardio. I am also lifting for an hour 3 days a week. I completed a 10K now working up to a half marathon. I kayak and snow shoe. I love to stay active.

Find activities you have fun doing. Also find what motivates you. If you enjoy music get a good play list while you work out. Plenty of fitness websites and app's to look into for Ideas. I hope you are surprised by what you're body is able to do. If you have time check back in. I would love to see how things progress for you.

@@jenn1, thanks Jenn for the suggestions. I worked out yesterday and today and enjoyed it. I am going to do my best to stay on track. Not sure I will do an hour of aerobics like you :-) but time will tell. Again, thanks!
