Strength Training Questions
I have read sooo many articles on strength training and they can be confusing and conflicting! I want to build muscle and tone up --- so would a combination help me the most? As in, high reps and low weights certain days and then increased weights with lower reps other days? Does it help or hurt to split up the workouts…

Stall?? Busted!! (I hope this helps someone else too)
So...I have dealt with many stalls during my new journey since my sleeve on 9/18/14. This latest stall lasted weeks and was making me very discouraged. In all honesty, at the same time, I was traveling, dealing with the holidays, and testing my limits (trying out foods that were not on my surgeon's approved list, eating…

Has anyone tried the Hip Hop Abs or Brazilian Butt Lift DVDs?? :D
Or any other workout videos that are interesting! I want to pick some up for days like today when there is "freezing drizzle" outside. I used to have Tae Bo videos but I cannot find them and some of my others are so slow and boring that they make me want to fall asleep.

Hello! I'm new to the site and looking for friends who are going through this journey. I was sleeved on 9/18/14 and I have just passed the two weeks post-op mark. I am on the liquid phase of the program (one more week to go) which my surgeon uses --- they do not do the pureed phase. And I am soooo looking forward to the…

Fat loss by laser or freezing to go along with sleeve??
I was sleeved on 9/18/14. I am wondering if anyone has tried that laser fat reduction or Coolsculpting to go along with their sleeve or other weight loss procedure? I have been researching it for a while now and it looks like it would assist with things because it actually eliminates fat cells (versus just reducing them in…
