i started lifting prolly 2 months out. i still do cardio every time i work out but now i do weights as well. squats, crunches, arms exercises. i feel it's helped with not only loose skin but the shape of my body is different when i work out than it was when i lost weight by just starving a few years back. i am six months out.

best of luck to you. i did this same thing on my thread. it's called surgery day and i went from day one till today. stay positive and enjoy the ride!

not at goal yet. first 20lbs pretty much flew off but after that i had to work my butt off lol. work out 3 to 5 days a week. always do cardio and then some weights. try not to eat sugar, carbs, caffeine or alcohol. i cheat a little here and there but mostly i stay on track. can't over eat cuz....well cuz i can't so that's good lol. original goal weight was 160 but now i'm thinking of going to 150 or even 140. i'm in a loose 12 right now. would like to see what it's like to be in single digit size! good luck everyone. SW: 232 CW: 165 Goal: Not sure!

congrats!

FIVE POUNDS TO GO!!!! but honestly i think imma keep going cuz i still have a pooch and my thighs are a bit on the juicy side still. new goal is 150!

8lbs to go!!! Ugh come on! The last few are the hardest! But still yay.

"If you want exceptional results you have to put in exceptional effort" John Cena this quote really hit home to me cuz i realized i was the type to say well i worked out a little today but it's better than nothing! well you know what? it's not "better than nothing". you want half assed results then keep doing half ass work. you want amazing results then put in amazing effort! ive been working "pretty" hard and getting "pretty" good results but now i want exceptional results so to that end i've worked really hard this week so here's to an exceptional week! xo

oye. i literally ate like crap all weekend and didn't work out. woke up at 171. smh. my body is crazy. but i'm gonna work hard this week. need to hit that 160 mark for my initial goal. then prolly try to go to 150 and see how that feels. in a size 12 now which is very exciting. i feel smaller than a 12 tho. i joined a gym last week so i can start pushing to the next level. going to hire a trainer too. this is my "skinniest" outfit

first of all that dog. wow. gorg. second of all YESSSSSSSS. my tastes changed a LOT after surgery. some things i just don't crave anymore or can't stand at all. i want to say it's gotten a little better (i was sleeved Oct) but there are still some thing i just don't like or my body doesn't like. don't be upset by it. you're living a new life now and some things will change. : ) good luck!

things have been tricky but 'ok'. im down to 171 now. had a bit of a stall week last week trying to figure things out but this week i seem to be 'ok'. i admit im not sure what works anymore or what my loss triggers are but im just trying to stay good. i worked out twice yesterday but my Protein intake was bad so im gonna try and make that better today

@@1sttime ok see. you understand what im saying. i'm a 4.0. haven't played in a year so i go back to clinic and the 4.0's still hit like 4.0s so you gotta be ready for it lol. and im clearly not. my footwork was hideous. but the work out was good. not sure if imma go back right now or not cuz my knee hurts already and i only did one clinic. i'm down 62lbs so surely it's better on my body but i also play singles so that's hard at 44. even down 62lbs lol. best of luck!

173 Little stuck this last week but did play tennis and worked out. Eating getting better. Still not enough food tho.

oookkk....time to change up the workout routine a bit. i think i need to push to the next level so i'm gonna start playing tennis again. it's been almost a year and i left playing at a high level which means all the people i'm going back to play with are still at that level lol. so this is gonna be tough to get back into but screw it. imma do it.

@@Kidbxrs I'm four almost five months out and i will tell you - you won't WANT carbs the way you do now. Certain things you won't be able to eat and certain things you can eat but they will make you feel like crap (for me that's any bread and sugar). Also your appetite changes a lot. I won't go into the Protein first thing cuz i think it's already covered pretty well above but just know you won't have the same feelings about food you do now.

@Rose1up! Yeah it's like no matter how thin or fit or pretty or smart you think you are there is always someone out there thinner or fitter or prettier or smarter LOL. i feel really good right now it's just seeing that video made me cringe but hey i can take full body pix now and that's a first so i just gotta take it in baby steps. im upping up my workouts this week to really start hitting squats, deadlifts, burpees etc AND cardio so we'll see how that goes. Glad you're feeling better. xo

I'm a corporate trainer so I was video taping one of my compliance classes. [emoji852]

That moment when you've lost almost 60 pounds but then you see yourself on video and feel like "you still fat " [emoji58][emoji58]

Yeppppp. Totally Normal. Your body is just adjusting.

there's always the cauliflower crust but remember that may cause gas

ive done toppings but gotten sick off bread like 10x so i don't even try to eat the crust. you might be surprised how it makes you feel. also 8.5 weeks out might not be far out enough to even try it. im just now barely able to eat normal-ish and i'm over 4 months out.

worked out super hard yesterday. didn't eat well. but also didn't eat a lot of bad things. anyways body is still losing so maybe i just broke the plateau by shocking it. i'm happy it's moving and will just keep doing the right stuff. 160 here i come!

i did but im sure it was hydration for me. also loss of nutrients and such can do it. take Vitamins and Calcium and Fiber etc. might want to do blood tests to see if you're missing anything. i actually had very low Vitamin D for a while. it can be a number of things.

ate like crap all weekend. didn't work out. still lost weight lol. but i will get back on track this week and hopefully all will go as "planned". one thing i will say is i FEEL fatter even though i'm losing weight. working out is what gives me my shape and that tight feeling so i guess i have to sacrifice weight for muscle/shape. im willing to do that. i actually look like the smallest person in the photos of my conference in florida. that's an experience i've never had before. i want to get down 20 more lbs and really see what it's like to feel great about myself. i feel good now but i want to feel great so still some work to do! onwards and upwards!

Yeah I'll admit I expect if I do the right thing the right things will happen and if I do the wrong things the wrong things will happen. I don't expect it to be some guaranteed formula and I expect to have ups and downs and stalls but I don't expect to do everything wrong and lose weight that makes no sense to me. There has to be some sort of system that works and if doing all the right stuff isn't that system then what can I base it on???

So let me get this straight....I'm home....no sugar no carbs no caffeine hardly any alcohol work out five days a week....stuck at same weight for three weeks. Go out of town eat a bunch of shit all day for five times a day don't work out drink alcohol come back… Lost 3 pounds. WTF? How my supposed to keep making progress when my body is an asshole and makes no sense at all? Only thing I can deduce from this exercise is that maybe I wasn't eating enough before or I was gaining muscle before as well…#mybodyiscray #annoyed #53lbsdown #20togo
