Presently I have been doing just cardio. I think I am going to start lifting this week ! I walk at minimum 2.5 a day and walk 4 or 5 like 2 or 3 days a week.

Monday: 7km run

Tuesday: 1 hr 15 minute intense circuit involving treadmill running, heaviliy weighted squats and lunges, push ups, tricep dips, biceps, shoulders, back and abdominals - a very heavy, general body routine that I devised myself.

Wednesday: 7km run

Thursday: circuit again

Friday: generally my day off

Saturday: circuit

Sunday 10km + run (gradually building distance as I want to do a half marathon).

Then I generally have the next day off as I need it after the long run and start the cycle again on different days. I just generally follow that cycle.

You HAVE to include legs in this. It's SO important to include legs because they are some of the biggest muscles in your body. More muscle = More fat burning when you're not even doing anything. A good leg work out is essential, my friend. :clap2:

My workout schedule:

Monday: Chest/Back

Tuesday: Bi/Tri

Wednesday: Legs

Thursday: Shoulders and Cardio

Friday: Off

Sat/Sun: Some form of intense cardio.

I know what you mean about working the legs, BUT, My legs already are so big for my hieght. I am 6'7" and only wear a 32 length pant. even when I did lose alot my last time I had huge legs. so I try and not get them any bigger, cause they actually don't match the rest of my body. but thanks for the advise.

I am hopefully going as a contract fire fighter. I was supposed to go last year and had my ship date and was ready to go until they changed the BMI requirement to 35 and I got bumped. Needless to say I was pissed at myself over that one. So I am hoping to get down to that goal before Christmas and head on over for a year. Its pretty safe working environments for us because we don't go outside the bases.

I have to admit I was horribly intimidated by the gym at first. Being the largest person in there and not really understanding what to do to accomplish goals other than walk on a treadmill. I decided on a personal trainer. I see him twice a week and then try to get at least two more days of cardio in for an hour a day. Then on Wednesday's we have 2 hours of ballroom dancing. I come out of that dripping with swaet just like the gym so i count it. I guess I should wear my heart monitor next time and see what zones I hit.

I walk on the treadmill about 1.5 miles 3 or 4 times a week! That's it! I need to incorporate weights at some point, but for now, I'm just amazed that I even get on the treadmill....I don't like to exercise!!!!!

Guys,

I am scheduled for the band in the beginning of October. As soon as the Dr. will let me I will be going back to my excersise routine. smile.gif

Here's my question - think.gif

Being over 370lbs I already have man boobs. My concern is that as I loose the weight they will get bigger. Do any of you know what type of excersise will help make them tighter?

I realize that if I loose eneough weight I may need to have surgery.

Thanks for starting this thread, it's a real help.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?

      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
