You look phenomenal!!! I would have thought you are naturally a thin person. Wow. Can you share your top tips to lose all that weight?

Thanks! I have been working out since 5 weeks after surgery. I started out doing 30 min on the elliptical 3 days a week. Now I do 30-40 min 5-6 days a week on the elliptical or arc trainer as well As a weight watchers stability ball work out that is 45 min long. Focus' on belly,butt,& thighs. I do that work out 5-7 days a week as well. I eat mainly Protein & salads. Some days I fall off. But. For the most part I am diligent. I log everything I eat. Even if I have a bad day and have Cookies or something like that. The key is when you fall off. You have to get right back on track,& make yourself accountable for eating and exercising choices. Good luck

This is very helpful, thank you!! I feel I have been doing all of this!! I have cheated and I feel bad and them I realize I "cheated" with one Oreo where in the past I would have eaten the entire pack. I am 7 weeks out and working out 4-5x a week and it just feels like a snails pace but you have way more time than me. I like all your tips. Congrats and thank you!!!

Losing slow does have benefits. Won't have as lose of skin. There is a forum called slow losers unite. That may have some good insight.

But look at the big picture. 25lbs in that short amount of time equals out to .5lbs a day. That's pretty darn good!! :-)

Have you been tracking food intake and exercise?
