Can I get an idea too? I want to get a little more muscle on my body. I think it's gonna help me long term with Crossfit and my excess skin. I'm very close to goal and I really want to hit it by my one year (11/20/13) surgiversary.

Fiddle: are you lifting AND doing Crossfit??

Aroundhky what are you doing?

As you can tell I'm in no way afraid of "bulking" up. I think muscles on a woman (like Crossfit women) are beautiful.

Thanks in advance. I'm off to my Crossfit session for today. I'm still recovering from Saturday's WOD called "Air Assault". OMG!!!

By the way fiddle: is your box doing a hero WOD this coming Saturday in memory of the 19 fallen hot shots??

"Tally"........not that I know exactly what to do or have any real nutrition/training education, but I'm curious if I'll see some red flag or something that can really keep someone from getting the most from his/her workout. Since we are all physiologically different with different goals....not sure I can really help, but it can't hurt to take an honest look to see what one is doing. Sure, send me an example of your lifting and eating routine and I'll be glad to look for the same. I agree on women with muscle.....to a certain extent. I think they very much help with a woman's physique just as much as it does for guys. The crazy, out of control bulked up women that are more than likely getting carried away with bulking.....not so much. :) I guess I draw the line (as far as my preferences go) with a woman that has more muscle than me. :P Also "Tally"...just from my own experience.....adding muscle and working toward a goal weight doesn't always go together and can slow down weight loss. Ex: Dropping 2 pounds of fat and adding a pound of muscle leaves you with only a pound loss on the scale, but much better body composition (body fat %). You mentioned trying to do both.....which is what I tried doing as well......so it took me nearly two years to get to goal......but well worth it for me!

Oh and Tally......I had been doing a little more cardio and slightly less lifting this summer. But I'm getting back to lifting a good 5 days a week now and 1-2 cardio sessions a week.....(reversed from this summer). That's my personal best ratio for strength while also trying to get or stay leaner. My lifting is usually 4 sessions of heavy lifts with plenty of rest and one session that's more crossfit-like with lighter weights, ballistic movements with very little rest in between sets of hang cleans, high pulls and kettle bell work. My cardio usually consists of sprints or running stadium stairs lasting no more than 30 minutes total. If I'm a little sore, I'll walk for 30-60 minutes instead.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
