@salodyssey is mine.

Congrats!!

I go by 1 scale and 1 scale only, and that's my home scale. I don't care what any other scale says, because I don't use them regularly.

Congrats!!

Thank you!

The weight keeps on dropping. Down to 245.8. I was 433 day of VSG July 2016. Total loss 442.2.

My stats after this mornings weigh-in. Nice to see the progress continue.

Looking good all!

Greg, As someone who lost 254 before surgery and a total of 351.6 overall, neither way is easy. It requires hard work, dedication and perseverance. Best of luck!!

Thank you!!!

I have a plank app on my Android phone that I use that goes over the different types of planks there are. I started off doing knee planks in 1 minute intervals for three sets. Then I would move to the traditional plank set and try to go at least 45 seconds to 1 minute intervals for three to five sets. (Traditional plank is where hands are up in like a push up stance but shoulders and back are flat straight. Then forearm planks are like the same as traditional except that you are on your forearms instead of straight up with open palms down on the ground. Those I do for 45 seconds to a 1 minute intervals for three to five sets. Finally raised hand/leg planks are the hardest ones for me to do and I tend to do those in two to three interval sets for about 15 to 30 seconds each. Appreciate that!! What's the name of the app? I have an Android too.

Well I lost 254 of my total on my own with a low carb, high Protein diet. I had VSG surgery in July 2016 and have continue the same diet post-op. I'm moving more and eating much better than I was. Just stay focused. Follow your prescribed plan from your medical team. Know that stalls and plateaus will happen. Just make adjustments and work through them. The most important thing, DON'T GIVE UP!! Feel free to follow and message my FB page if you need any other tips. Thank you!

Any interest in doing a meet up in Tampa somewhere?

Thanks! Yeah had a couple weeks where the scale didn't move or even went up even though I was making all the right choices. Just have to fight through it and keep making the good decisions. The scale going down will come.

What's your planking routine?

Thank you!! Looking good!!

Thank you! Go to more reply options and there is a thing on the left side to add attachments. I believe that's how I did it.
