Hi.

all my fellow Merry Loser a lot of us are coming to a 4 week post opt and time to start a exercise plan, what are u guys going to start off on for Cardio. right now with premission from my Dr. I have started riding a exercise bike 45-60 min a day for Cardio after 4 weeks I will start power walking and weight lifting only about 20lbs to tone up. Man what a difference those 25 lbs I dropped made my back don't hurt anymore I am not out of breath riding and walking anymore after only 20 min. my Dr. wants to to do 30-45 min of Cardio 5 days a week but I am taking it a little futher.

wow Destiny, that is a great plan! I'm so happy for you, I bet it is easier to exercise with some weight off. I cant wait to get there. Even with a small loss so far, i can feel that i have more energy and its easier to move around the house. I am planning to do Water aerobics at the local Y once I am about a month out. I also want to start yoga or pilates once I get some substantial weight off.

Hope all goes well for you! Keep on keepin on!

I'm just waiting for clearance from my Dr and then I'm off to join the gym - 3 mornings a week before work - I'm actually looking forward to it.

I havent gotten clearance from my Dr yet...but today, i did 30 mins on the eliptical and felt great. Im not going to push it though, but i feel so inspired to continue it.

Good luck with your work out goals..it really gives you energy!

Good job everyone aleast we have a plan now, who would have known I enjoyed exercising it feels so good afterward having more energy to play with my kids .

Ugh, the "e" word. LOL As soon as I'm cleared, I plan to go to Curves again. I enjoyed it before, hoping I can find a way to enjoy it again. In the meantime, I need to get out and walk some. I live in south TX, so it's not too cold, even though I've been using that as an excuse.

I am dreaming of a power walk someplace warm:-)) Don't have my 4 weeks done just yet but hope to be on a bike by the end of the week. . .I prefer the power walking but it is just too darn cold.

I feel good after exercising so I am looking forward to it again!!

I am starting today with power walks 4-5 times per week, one hour at a small local arena open to walkers at specific times. (I live just outside of Buffalo NY and we have SNOW!)

Then, after about a month or two of getting used to excersising, (never really have), my DH bought me a membership to a local gym. Can't wait... just want to build up a bit of stamina before I start!!

Good luck all!!

Thanks for the idea Mrs. Krzyz! I think I may try to find an indoor walking place too. Maybe the mall or something.
