Why? Are you in a stubborn stall?

@finediva - I'm about 7 months out from being sleeved and have had GREAT success. I'm already at my year goal for my surgeon - down over 55% of my excess body weight. So we were expecting a plateau to happen and sure enough it has. I've been at about the same weight for 5-6 weeks now. Just looking for a little jump!!

Ok. I hope it does it for you. Congrats on meeting your surgeon's goal. Keep going.

Don't know what it is but it SOUNDS bad*ass!

@GingerSnaps - I completed 80 bar rows with a 35lb bar, 75 wall balls (full squats) with a 10lbs medicine ball, and 173 jump ropes. Before we did that we work on strength - which for me was a split squat with a 35lb bar behind our head. Think of a full lunge with one leg behind you - knee to ground. And then we did box steps - with a 35lb bar again behind our head.

Wow... I KNEW it was crazy tough! I feel like a wimp with my weight lifting program now! lol

Crossfit Wonder Woman!!!

Woot! So glad to see all your hard work is paying off. You are making it WORK!

Woo hoo!!! Congrats!

Do it! No excuses -- you're my crossfit hero!

This past week was filled with several birthdays, work, family visits, halloween, babysitting the nieces - you know, life. But - Oh I went. lol. Was my first WOD post my "On Ramp" beginners classes! It was definitely a tough workout. But I finished it!

OH - and I'm going back Thursday. Hoping to get out for a walk tonight or tomorrow. Need to try and keep these muscles loose.

Congratulations! So happy for you! Keep up the great work!

Woot Woot! You have SO got this girl!

don't hurt your arm, but reach over and pat yourself on the back - keep up the good job

good luck!!!

How did your appointment go? He must be very proud of you. I know I certainly am!!!

Woot Woot! I already know the answer... You ROCK Zoey!

Good for you! I want to try Crossfit, but I'm afraid I wont have the stamina - keep it up!

Woot indeed!

Love doing clean and jerks each week! It's a full body resistance lift with an element of cardio that makes my heart feel like it's coming out of my chest!

@aroundhky - we worked on push presses, push jerks, and split jerks last night. Did 3 reps x5 push press for strength - coaches kept encouraging me to add more weight - SO glad I did. Love feeling like I really pushed myself. Our WOD was Death By Burpees - 1st minute -1 burpee. 2nd minute - 2 burpees. 3rd minute - 3 burpees...etc. I made it thru minute 8, but pooped out in minute 9. lol. Will have to work on those. My heart DEF felt like it was about to jump out of my chest. lol.

That's so awesome!! I need some of your energy!! lol

You go girl!

@alxmak1021 - oh it def was burning. Hell - it still is. HA!!

Makes it fun to try to go to the bathroom right? Use the handicap stall to help pull yourself up! lol

@Ginger Snaps - YES!! HAHAHAHA!! Thank goodness in my home bathroom the counter is right next to the toilet. HAHAHA!

@alxmak1021 - I had a general dr's appointment yesterday. I go for my 6 month check up in a couple weeks! Hoping to be down a couple more lbs by then. @Ginger Snaps - I def weigh myself first thing in the morning (with nothing on...lol) and my appointment was at 4PM! So I know there was going to be a difference... but it was like a 6lbs difference! :/

It's just a number Zoey. Forget it. I have the same thing. The other day, I weighed myself also in the AM and with no clothes. My scale said 122 lbs. and when I went to the doctor, the scale was 126. Don't sweat it as long as the number keeps going down.

Just before I go to the hospital for my check-up I weight myself at home wearing the same clothes/shoes that I will wear while being weighed at the hospital. It so happens that their scales weigh lighter than mine by a couple of kilos usually and theirs should be more accurate so that gives me a boost!

You are ONE AWESOME woman! No vomitting or passing out? Woot Woot!

Can't wait to hear how much fun you have with this!

Happy day! Congratulations!

That's WONDERFUL! Next.... just OVERWEIGHT!!!! And we'll cheer that one, too!

This sounds like jealousy! Some people can't take the success of others. Also, because they fear things, like Crossfit, they have to bash it. Screw 'em! Nothing taste sweeter than success!

Thanks everyone for the support!! <3

Take up kickboxing and kick their butts! I'm very impressed you're going to try CrossFit. It appears brutal to me! lol But if that's your game and what you want to at least try, GO FOR IT! Even if you try it and find it's too hard or you don't like it or whatever, you've burned way more calories just trying than they have by giving you a hard time!

My 15 yo son was (I thinking jokingly) making fun of me for having to walk some of the 5k run the other day. He said he would never "quit". I said I didn't "quit", I finished even if I had to walk some. He said walking was quitting. So, I told him walking/running was better than not starting and I had done WAY more than he did not even starting the race. He kind of quieted down then! lol

Do what makes YOU feel the best YOU!

Yay!

You are so brave! I can't wait to hear how you do. I've seen some of those classes and just thought "umm.... no!"

Awesome! What do you do in that kind of class?

Wish you the best....make sure to educate yourself on the lifts if you haven't already

@aroundhky - Thanks! I am taking a "On Ramp" class for the next month. Its a smaller class size (about 6 people and 2 coaches), where they teach the different lifts, techniques, posture, grips etc etc. I went last night to watch the class to get an idea of what I'm about to jump into. I'll def be looking up more info this weekend so I am more familiar with terminology for sure.

That is signs of a great box! Mine has a week long class you have to attend. The thing is, everything is scalable. You will be fine!

You look great!!!

How incredible you look! And you must feel amazing!!!

I haven't exercised in over a week now... really hurt my hip somehow and it's still very inflammed. I'm trying to let it rest but I think I may try some treadmill walking tomorrow to see if I can take it. I was supposed to walk/run a 5k this weekend. May end up just going to pick up the tshirt

what a bummer - take it slow on the treadmill - nothing wrong with another s/m cute T-shirt LOL

Congrats

Congrats

That is wonderful!

Wish you the best!

Sending warm thoughts and prayers your way.

Thank you both for your thoughts. Tests are being done next week, but am hopeful that there isn't anything to be too overly concerned with. Thanks again!
