I was sleeved 08/29/16 HW 317 SW 308 CW 264....I'm happy with the weight loss some what...I know I could lose a lot more if I exercise I hate going to the gym I hate working out period I just can't find the motivation to just get up and do it. Yes I do work 2 jobs but I don't want to use that as an excuse.

I was sleeved 10/5/16. I was cleared to work out. But im scared. I suffer from chronic pain and stiffness so just walking is very uncomfortable/ painful most days. I try to get some walking in everyday and try to make my walking goal on days im out and about. But it's hard to be motivated when moving hurts so much in general and energy is always low. Not trying to feel sorry for myself just giving the facts lol. But i totally understand how you feel.

_{I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and can have severe joint pain. I don't let it keep me from working out. Instead of walking, try the recumbent bike. It's the one where you sit down low in it and you don't have to bend your back in an unnatural position. Also, Water walking and aerobics is completely stress-free on your joints and believe it or not, burns a lot of calories. It can definitely be hard to get motivated to workout but once it becomes a part of your routine, you will find that you "crave" it. Also, by working out, you will burn more calories and get toned. I find when I work out, my clothes size drops quickly, even before I actually see the weight coming off the scale. Good luck! I hope you can adopt this new lifestyle.}

Losing 53 lbs in 2.5 mths is fantastic. Adding in exercise may help you lose more, but mostly it will help build muscle. I am not consistent with exercise but as I am losing I am finding it gets easier. My knees are my biggest issue.
