What is the best excercize for a woman 33 that is over 300lb

I have 100+ to lose.
I have started using my daughter's Wii at night after she goes to bed. She has a program called "Just Dance." You can do low impact aerobic type dancing, all by yourself, your cardio is accomplished, no one sees you. Today I walked 16 minutes (it's chilly today) and then danced all by myself, and burned over 300 calories for the day.
You can do this!

Welcome to MFP!! I was there with you but also have severe arthritis in one ankle and knee and back pain because I didn't "get it" nearly as soon as you have. Congratulations for starting this journey so you have even more of your life ahead of you to enjoy!!! Walking wasn't an option I chose because of the aches and pains it would cause but the recumbent bike was a great start for me. It doesn't burn as many calories as some other exercises but it didn't hurt either :happy: I moved from the bike to the elliptical and have to admit, I still have a love/hate relationship with it. The love part is winning out though because I can see the results! I have to admit when I first started it was not for very long at a time...4 or 5 minutes if I remember. Whatever you decide to do...find something you enjoy and maybe a friend to go along with you if you can. Keep posting and coming to the boards for motivation and support. You will find SO MANY supportive people and many who have walked in our shoes. Congrats again for starting your journey while you are still young!!

Walk!! Anywhere and everywhere. If you go to the gym walk at your pace until you are Comfortable enough to increase speed and distance. Also try parking further when you grocery shop, and using steps instead of elevators or escalators. Every little bit helps!!

How did u lose soo fast?

If you hit quote and then type your question at the bottom, then the person will know who you are referring to or you can send them a message because everyone does not come back to cheack their posts.

I started with a gazille glider, a good work out and easy on the knees.

In addition to the exercise, you log EVERY BITE OF FOOD that you eat. No matter how small, log it. In order to do this, the first piece of equipment that you need to buy is a digital food scale. The second piece is a set of measuring cups. Weigh/measure EVERYTHING!!! Try to stay within your calorie goal, and be sure to drink LOTS of water. Just to answer the next question in advance, diet soda does not count as water.

I recommend trying to stear clear of the frozen dinners. They're so full of chemicals and sodium, that they defeat my attempts to be good. Fresh (or frozen) fruits and veggies are your friends. So are lean meats (turkey, chicken and fish), unless you're vegan -- that's another chapter. This doesn't mean you can't have a steak or a burger ever week or so, you just can't have them every day. Again WEIGH all your food.

In the beginning, if you want to eat out, I recommend getting carry out. That way you can weigh and measure the food. For example: My hubby is hooked on Mexican food, I only allow myself and ounce or two of tortilla chips (depending on my calorie count). In a restaurant, it would be VERY easy to go over that amount, so Mexican food is on a carry-out basis only.

Something that keeps me on track is a thing I call "planned indulgences". I allow myself a small treat every day. My personal addiction are these little milk chocolate pearls by Godiva. I measure them out, and savor them as desert after dinner every night. Since they're a high grade chocolate, I don't feel a need to eat more. Oftentimes, I just let the choco melt on my tongue, so that I get the maximum chocolate enjoyment. Whatever your 'planned indulgence' may end up being, eat it slowly... enjoy it.... and add it to your food diary. Yes, this is sugar. However, I don't have high blood sugar issues. ANd if a 100 calorie treat keeps me from going overboard, then it's a great treat.

P.S. I have my calorie intake set for 1600 per day. This gives me an average 2.5-3 lbs per week weight loss. Don't set your calorie limit unrealistically low. If you're 300+ lbs, there's no way you can start off at 1200 cals per day. It's a MAJOR transition that you're starting.

Once you get to the point that you can jog.....About.com has a training regimen to introduce you to running. I did it and it is a reasonable approach. Walking is supposed to be just as good; but for me personally the running kicks in the endorphins and energizes me more. Good running shoes go a long way towards preventing injuries. As others have said; listen to your body.

I am trying to get in the habit of thinking "Eat to Live, Don't Live to Eat".
Good Luck,
Mike

I know everyone already said Leslie Sansone and I have to say I agree. I wasn't over 300lbs when I started but I was 170lbs out of shape and didn't workout since leaving the military and even then I didn't workout as hard as I should have. I was still overweight and over ate and did all the things people shouldn't. Leslie Sansone was a great base to start off on. I started slowly implementing the one mile walks, then added one pound weights on the one miles walks. When I felt I was ready I increased it to another mile until I was doing her 5 mile walks. She help me shed the first 12lbs of my weight loss journey and then I was able to graduate to more intense workouts starting from Turbo Jam all the way to P90X and Turbofire. It took my about 2 years to get to the level of workout intensity that I can do now. Thinking back on it I'm pretty proud of myself . You will do phenomenal and Leslie is a great workout and the best thing is Target always has sales with her videos sometimes they are 10 bucks. Also sometimes you can score some at Marshall's or TJ Maxx.
