    lean muscle mass building

    Definitely weights....i alternate days push/pull exercises and do my warm ups on either a treadmill or a spin bike....its no official program but seems to be working for me.

    OMG Shin splints!

    Could be the change in distance and overworking...i had this issue when i started running farther...

    Low BPM now.

    I always thought lower bpm was a good thing? Unless it's at 0 of course!🤣🤣 Congrats on getting healthy!💪

    Thanks but no thanks

    Why does everyone feel like they have to offer me food ....I'm a grown woman and I'm not 5yrs old....I understand that they are just being nice...but if I am hungry I will eat😐 I will sit over here and enjoy my protein shake and tuna salad. Its hard enough dodging the office cupcakes and donuts...lol Ok I'm done-

    Thanks but no thanks

    I'm sure your right....its just annoying or maybe I'm just growing a bit bitter at my old age🤣

    "I think you're overdoing it"

    I exercise everyday.....for me I think maybe I traded one for the other...you know. When I was stressed...I ate. Sad? I ate...bored? I ate. Now my daily workout takes the spot of that! I now feel like exercise is my only time for me...to decompress and think. For others to see this routine is just probably strange for them...it will take time. Dont let it bother you- this is for you..no one else.

    Compression Tights and Loose Skin

    And thank you! I may still be a bit saggy. But my skin is soft...lol I didn't mean to sound like a downer! So I hope I didnt come across that way! But I honestly think I've tried every fad out there! Lol

    Compression Tights and Loose Skin

    I've tried derma rolling, coffee wraps, brushing, ice packs...lol exercising daily multi vitamins tons of water....was gonna try cool sculpting, but after talking to quite a few people it does nothing for saggy skin ☹

    Compression Tights and Loose Skin

    I think I have tried almost everything. I have lost 100 and some change...I work out religiously but still a saggy belly and extra skin on the thighs....afraid at this point my only option would be a tummy tuck and lipo... sure it looks better than it did, but I'm still self conscious. And unless I win the lottery looks like spanks from here on out 😏

    Still no 2004 Bandsters here???

    Been around for a few years...should stop by more often but seems so busy all the time. Still loving my band tho!

    Disappearing lapbanders

    I agree...everyone is different. For me I ha e good and bad days. But I also push myself to work out religiously and watch what I eat. I think the band saved me!

    Freaking out

    I'm still madly in love with my band.... How did you do? What did you decide?

    Am I the Only One?

    four weeks and you've lost 25lbs? I would say you are losing weight at a reasonable rate....that's quicker than I did. and losing 25lbs in 4 weeks, you definitely have to be eating less than before. I know the journey can be frustrating, but I suggest take pictures and measurements. I guarantee that even if you hit a week where it seems like you aren't losing weight, its very possible you are losing inches. when you feel like you are still hungry reach for something high in protein. or try a protein shake. keep us posted! good luck!

    WTF - gained inches?!

    Its totally normal to change through out the day....which is why I always weigh myself 1st thing in the morn 💪
  18. I love the show! However my hubby doesnt care for it...therefore I sneak an episode in when I can!
  19. I would love a tummy tuck....I have never ever wore a bathing suit in public. I couldn't imagine how liberating it would be....not for anyone other than myself....😔maybe someday I will be able to do it....for now I just tuck my flappy belly into my high waisted Jean's and go on about my day! That is until I win the lottery....

    Protein shakes

    I have at least one shake a day....without the shakes I would never reach my protein intake

    Getting to enjoy this lifting nonsense

    Good job!💪

    Baby food

    I never asked my nutritionist.....I just assumed that if it was good enough for a baby, it was good enough for me....the portion size was perfect. But I would watch the sugar👍
  23. funky_monkey800

    Baby food

    I have eaten baby food....only the fruits. Lol I never pureed anything....mostly lots of protein shakes, eggs, beans,cottage cheese and tuna....
  24. funky_monkey800

    how do you find inspiration

    I keep pics handy......nothing like a good before and after shot
