Oooh la la!! Beautifull!!

Different types of planks. Very effective.

WOW!! 50lbs. in 2 months that's great!! Keep up the good work!!!

I'm sorry your going trough such a rough patch (HUG). I have to admit that one of the first thoughts through my mind when someone is divorcing after WLS is because of losing weight. But I don't think that applies to every marriage! Some have issues well before and unfortunately the emotional strain of WLS brings out every imperfection in our relationships. I've noticed that is even true of friendships. I know it's hard to ignore the BS people say but PLEASE don't let it hinder all the hard work you've done! Try and find another emotional outlet for your feelings. You've done do much in such a small amount of time. The fact that you're seeking therapy shows you have a good head on your shoulders and an open mind. Good Luck!!

AMAZING!!!! You look great, good job!! Keep up the great work it is truly paying off for you!!

Thanks everyone for the great advise! Specially for the article BenisaMartim! I'm going to make sure I warm up for at least 10 min before a hard work out and if that's not enough I will increase my carbs. Hope it works!

Hello everyone! I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced a migraine headache after a tough work out? I've noticed the last two weeks have been tough on me. It started after I began taking harder classes like Boot camp, Body pump and Step. I've made sure I had enough Protein before the gym and I do well with my Water but I can always up the amount. Other than that I'm not sure what else I can do other than dropping the amount of classes I take a week but I really don't want to do that. I've always been prone to migraines but this is just getting ridiculous!! Any suggestions? Any advise would help. Thanks

Yeah! So excited! Hubby, sisters and I are running it in Oct. in Cali. Should be so much fun I can't wait!

My husband and I spoke about this subject in depth before the surgery and came to an understanding. If at any point any one of us felt insecure, left out or unappreciated we would go to counseling without fear that the other would get defensive. (Hubby and I enjoy the neutral third party perspective) We are both very competitive so of course he started the gym with me! He's eating anything healthy I make and not only did I get him to sign up for a 5k with me but 4 other family members too! So far it's been great but every now and then we have to remind each other to make more of an effort to be more "lovey-dovey". (we have never been too mushy!) I always tease him that he's a "chubby chaser" but the truth is he was with me when I was thinner and stayed with me when I got fat so I know I have someone who loves me for me. I couldn't ask for a better man, he doesn't exist!

I'm so sorry for the hoops you have to jump through Solo. I was wondering where you live (State & city)?

Thanks everyone! I never thought I would post pictures let alone such ugly before pictures, lol. But I think everyone here understands it's the small triumphs that keep us going from day to day. Can't wait for the next one!

Try not to ger stressed, my surgery was scheduled 3 different times! All that time does help you take a good look at your behaviors and how you got to this point. So try not to get discouraged. Good luck, if I can do it anyone can!

Thanks Krissy! Good luck! I'm sure you will do great. Just remember to walk as much as you can right after surgery. It will make things easier when you get home. When are you having surgery?
