Thanks everyone! I think I added all of you, if I missed you let me know. Need all the support I can get!

Thank you everyone. It's nice to have a few suggestions to try. I do have back pain from time to time. Not troublesome though. I didn't know they were linked.

Nope. I had very little PT in the hospital just so that I could sit up by myself and walk up steps. Then they shoved me out the door. I never had follow up of any sort other than the actual incision. That's long since healed but I have mesh holding my muscles together. I'm not a check with the doctor type of person since…

Me! I turned 29 in July. I want to make my 30s look way better than my 20s lol. I'll send you an invite

Sounds like deadlifts are a popular choice. Any tips on doing them without equipment. I don't do gyms and have no equipment at home.

Yes I'm all in for the baby steps. I'm standing at my stove holding my belly in as we speak. At least I know I can't get worse! Haha

Thank you all for the great suggestions. I'll try some of these and see what works best! I was getting really disappointed because most exercises I've found that are supposed to strengthen your core, I just can't do. Not even a little bit. It's hard to strengthen when you physically can't do the exercises.

I'm in southern pa. About 20 mins from md. Feel free to add me!

Not real close but not too far either. I'm in York.

I forgot to check in until now too! Changes: I'm actually 29 now CW: 268.0 Total loss: 18.8

Thank you both! Makes more sense now.

I have around 100 lbs to lose and have a 2 year old little boy. Feel free to add me!

Any of you can add me as well. I lost 80 lbs before and gained 100. I'm now working to get it all back off. Again.

I have a bit more than 70 to lose. I'm a stay at home mom as well. Feel free to add me!

I'm also trying to lose a bit over 100 lbs. feel free to add me!

Thanks both of you! The exercise vids are a good idea! I'll have to check on demand as well. Or YouTube. I'm sure there's some there.

Feel free to add me. I've got just a bit over 100 to lose. I started about a week ago! Good luck to you!

I'm 28! (Well 29 in a few days) feel free to add me!

I'm doing it to be happy and healthy and of course to look good lol. Most importantly I'm doing it for my son. He's almost 3 with a ton of energy and I can't keep up with him or play with him like I want to.
