I was just wondering if anyone knew of any toning exercises (to help prevent the sagging skin) that could be done at home? I'm still just starting to lose and not really ready to head to the gym yet and work out in front of people so I've just been working out at home. Should I even be worrying about toning yet?

- Bodyweight II - Belly Off

I know this link is to a guys site, but the workout listed is designed to be done at home or without a gym. I would also look at the No Gym workout. It should help with toning exercises.

I just started about 2 months ago and I was banded almost a year ago. I got some of the Biggest Loser DVDs and LOVE THEM. My favorite: Power Sculpt and Weight Loss Yoga I try to alternate as well as power walk for more cardio. I've exercised before but only cardio never weights or toning. Now that I've started I'm really into it and best of all I can see a difference. I have muscles in my arms and legs that I never knew where there, its amazing. For the first time in my life I will be not overweight and toned. Going to do the Yoga now :-)

I do the Slim in 6 video at home. I love it. And they are simple exercises but at the end of the video you are really tired and the next day you can really feel it. Before I had my kids I did them and got toned with lean muscles and great stomach and was in a six 6 at 5'11''. Looked great. Then came the babies. Lol. Good luck!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
