I weigh every morning to keep myself in check now that I am in maintence level. I don't have any suggestions about your trip. I don't think I would pack a scale with me though. Maybe you can find a place to weigh while on vacation? Do you have a gym membership that lets you go to the same gym company in another city/state?…

Goal: 130 and maintain, 100 or more squats a day, go to the gym to workout for cardio and weight machines 3-4 times a day, Ride bike 30 minutes or more every day once or twice a day. 6/28/13-UGH! Gained but still under 130! My WLS program nut told me to up my cals to 1500 and eat back all exercise cals. I usually burn 300…

Good idea! I will ask the instructor tonight. I looked online and couldn't find anything. It is a combo or cardio and strength training though I do believe.

Thanks for replying. I kinda knew the answer but was hoping maybe there was a some miracle workout that would help! I do have muscle definition in my upper arms and legs from the weights so I can tell it is helping but that loose skin is still there. UGH!

I just started adult swim classes to learn how to swim to do it for exercise. I have had two classes and things are going ok. Still working on floating and learning to use my legs correctly so I move when I float and kick my legs. I do great floating on my back but not so good floating on my stomach. I have lost 145 pounds…

You might wanna have it checked out. I have bone on bone on my left knee and a crooked knee cap and the thighbone is off from the lower leg bone but I don't want surgery nor will they do it at my age of 49. I did loose weight and it has helped alot so it doesn't bother me much now and I have started back up doing dog…

I am recently looking to join a different gym that also has a pool for swimming and aqua classes. I went last Fri to check it out and got a tour and a pass for a week for free. I went on Monday at the usual time I would go to see how crowded it was and if I had to wait for machines. I also asked people how long they were…

I am just a year post op from sleeve and didn't experience anything negative. Yes the first couple months post op were rough but things got better. I can eat about anything but just in small portions. It isn't a magic wand but a tool and if used correctly it works! If I sit around eating ice cream all day I will gain bak…

I'm a year out from sleeve and only really had one plateau, it was at about 3 weeks post op. After that none really. It did seem like the last 10 pounds would never drop off when I got close to my own personal weight goal but it did . I feel the key to not having a plateau is eating enough calories a day, getting 80 grams…

Glad to hear you are doing good. Keep up the walking. It really does help!

Bump! I never got any replies. I went to my first beginning swim class yesterday and enjoyed it. Kinda got freaked out with the trying to float on my stomach but did great with floating on my back. By the end of the class I was more confident with floating on my stomach with a float board and float belt attached. Any…

I am due for a new one in Oct of this year but thinking of getting it done sooner. My pic looks nothing like me now!

I am just a year post op last week but had sleve surgery. I have never dumped. There have been times when I ate something really sweet and felt funny but I think it's because I hadn't had it for so long and my body was trying to handle it but not real dumping. I can eat about 2 oz of meat and 1 oz of something else at…

I bought a 7 speed Schwinn bike at Meijer about a month ago and love it. It's a 26 inch womens with a nice wide seat on it with springs. It is very comfy. It was $170 but on sale for $160 and then I got 10% off, another 15% off and then another 10% off so it brought it down to like $110! It has already been worth it! I try…

I use the free phone app Endomondo that can be linked to MFP. I have a fitbit one but it doesn't really track biking so I use Endomondo. I also have tried Mapmyride free app but like Endomondo best. It tracks your bike route, cals burned, mph, and other stuff. There have been a couple times that I must have accidently…

I think you look fine and you are within a healthy BMI. When people loose alot of weight, they do get comments like "when are you gonna stop loosing weight?" or stuff like that. I know I have in the last year since loosing over 140 pounds. People are used to seeing a person obese and when they loose weight people have a…

I bought a 7 speed Schwinn at Meijer on sale. It was usually $170 and it was on sale for like $159.99 and I got 10 % off, 15% off and then another 10% off brining it down to like $110. It is a Sanctuary model. I really like it and has already paid for itself.

2 minutes and 5 seconds is great! I have been doing them for a while now and have tried to work up to over 1 minute or more. I try to do 4 in the morning. Great job!

I had WLS June 11, 2012. The Gastric Sleeve. It isn't the easy way out or magic wand or bullet for obese people. I have dieted all my life, was a member of weight watchers before age 10, I weighed 11 pounds when born. I have been fat all my life! At 48 years old, my knees were killing me, had bone on bone, knee cap…
