Impressive! What has your exercise regime been, from the beginning? How many calories did you begin with, in early stages? Congrats!

Thanks, i was always big into weightlifting however due to a small rotator cuff tear the last 6 months I haven’t lifted weights much. I did a lot of cardio for the first year and a half. Mostly 4-12 mile walks and off and on 3 mile runs. Really the last four months I’ve lost the fastest and I’m not lifting weights or running right now. I lift only one to two times a week right now. After everything I’ve been through with weight loss, if I could do it over again I wouldn’t work out as much at first. I would take it easy but be very consistent on diet and nutrition. My big problem was pride I had to try to be a perfectionist. So, I was gung ho on working out and being 450lbs, that didn’t work well. I kept having small injuries and my weight loss was very slow despite all the work I was doing. Once I eased up things happened much faster.7 -

Congratulations! That was truly inspirational for me! (You look GREAT BTW!) I am starting right now in a very similar situation. I currently weigh 430lbs.. (I was 465lbs a month ago). I too have a shoulder injury right now- (Broken left clavicle-soon to be repaired/fixed Mid April/May hopefully!). I am counting calories, (Trying to stay around 1400.) I do exercise using a Green Resistance Band-3 times a week and walk 5 times a week. Mid week and Sundays are my "recovery days". I am searching for people who understand what it takes to do this here on MFP, or any other site/area you may know? (I got off Facebook because of the negativity, and the fact I was totally addicted to it!). Unless you have been here (a way above average weight), it is hard for most people to understand. Please add me as a friend if you wish. Having positive encouragement from someone who truly understands the journey is exactly the kind of assistance that I need! I hope you have a great day! Frank2
