Had I not exercised, I felt like I would have sagged much more and for me it was a mental thing. I didn't exercise at all most my life and I was obese. I got the band to change my life and I knew that I had to change everything, as this is a lifestyle change for the rest of my life, not just a revised eating plan.Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02194299634556467542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1156718761379163202.post-45546999513938393192012-01-11T13:24:43.562-05:002012-01-11T13:24:43.562-05:00Welcome back and Happy New Year!
Once again--I ca...Welcome back and Happy New Year! <br />Once again--I can relate to every word you have said!!!! <br />Like you, I lost this weight without any major exercise regimen. So, I'm in complete agreement that it can be done. I'm not sure if exercise would make a huge difference in how I look. Maybe I'd look better naked. But, really, I love fashion so much that I am not naked all that much!! LOL. Pretty good excuse for not caring...huh??? In all honesty--I'm just not good with exercise! I own that part of me completely. Call me lazy but I guarantee anyone who spent 24 hours with me would quickly change their mind on calling me that! Haha! That's why this Lapband was the ONLY tool that fit my life....nothing was off limits unless my band said it was!!! <br />Good luck with your plan and I hope we can get together soon! <br />Onward!<br />JudiJudihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08014735777454955352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1156718761379163202.post-30481881375516310712012-01-10T13:13:02.169-05:002012-01-10T13:13:02.169-05:00I think for some people (not talking about myself ...I think for some people (not talking about myself here) - it's more of a mental thing. Weight loss my changing your eating habits is such a drastic change for most WLS people - that they feel as though since they're overhauling ONE part of their lifestyle, maybe coupling it with a "move your body more" change aides them in their quest to be smaller and happier? Or maybe they thing that if they don't exercize that it's dooming them to be failures?<br /><br />Me personally, I exercize because I mentally feel better due to it. I've struggled with depression my whole life - and I firmly believe the whole "exercize endorphine" release is not BS. And I am also a very competetive, sports oriented person so I haven't been a stranger to imposed workouts as well.<br /><br />Good post!trishajohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01624986844629181388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1156718761379163202.post-8419273213115067492012-01-10T11:09:16.157-05:002012-01-10T11:09:16.157-05:00Thanks for this one!

If you do ...Can I have "stupid" question?<br />If you do exercise a lot while losing weight, is it certain that later on if you stop/slow down exercising it will affect your further loss/maintenance? I know it's a silly question, but being bang in the middle of my WL I'd like to establish some long term way of life, but also not want to sacrifice on the weight loss. Do I make any sense here? I hope...Kriszhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02385673009221828014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1156718761379163202.post-48077072928052094802012-01-09T19:21:46.363-05:002012-01-09T19:21:46.363-05:00Read my thoughts.

And I don't "eat the calories" I get from doing it, it's just to be healthier in general!<br /><br />I'm with you.Rhondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02136948771014366470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1156718761379163202.post-92002603207334235062012-01-09T18:35:33.940-05:002012-01-09T18:35:33.940-05:00Thanks for the non-exercise blog.

I think hauling around 120 pounds of excess weight has been enough stress for my body and I don't want to hurt myself. I have dieted/exercised in the past and lost nothing (that was demotivating) but when I get near my goal weight and the chances of injury are decreased I will likely take up swimming/weights again. I actually liked doing those things, just not at 262 pounds.Lorena stnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1156718761379163202.post-57877091038548855742012-01-09T17:53:03.737-05:002012-01-09T17:53:03.737-05:00I agree with you.

I feel better, my joints don't hurt as much and my gut is a bit tighter. So, I don't exercise to lose, I exercise to feel good.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02400904095865742386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1156718761379163202.post-50125446540613909452012-01-09T16:52:45.087-05:002012-01-09T16:52:45.087-05:00Missed you!!

While I am certainly more active than before my band, I haven't really jumped on the regular exercise band wagon and have comfortably maintained my current weight for almost a year now. I do know that if I want to lose those last ten pounds, I will need to step it up (no pun intended).<br /><br />Glad to see you post again.
