6 months post op ** NEW PICS**

[princesstia 190]

You what. . Said u weren't going to wear a bikini, my god girl u look great - u can wear it. If I get down to that weight/shape I WILL wear one, maybe with shorts cause I think I'll need to work on my self confidence well done

So I like the fact that I got into it but I definitely will not be wearing this in public until i tighten and tone more. The fact that my body is proportional lets me know when i get to my goal weight (which is 40 pounds away) I will look like someone's model!!! So glad my skin is snapping back and my arms arent saggy. I prayed for that when first getting the surgery.

You look awesome!!!! I can't believe you are 185....you look great!! Congrats!!

I'm 5'8 so I carry the weight pretty well. Back when I was preop, under clothes, you would've never believed my BMI to be so high. Thank goodness for long legs!

My gym routine is brutal but i take herbal life tea about 30mins before workout and im mad crazy in the gym:

Monday: 20 minutes on elliptical at 15 incline 10 intensity - 100 squats - 10 sets of 8 leg curls - 10 sets of 8 calve raises - 50 hyperextensions - ab ripper x p90x routine - 30 minutes on treadmill 10 incline at 4mph

Tuesday: Cardio day - 30 minutes on elliptical at 15 incline 10 intensity - 30 minutes on treadmill 10 incline at 4mph - 30 mintues stairmaster

Wednesday: 20 minutes on elliptical at 15 incline 10 intensity - 10 sets of 10 bicep curls - 10 sets of 10 tricep kickbacks - 100 squats - 50 hyperextensions - ab ripper x p90x routine - 30 minutes on treadmill 10 incline at 4mph

Thursday: Cardio day - 30 minutes on elliptical at 15 incline 10 intensity - 30 minutes on treadmill 10 incline at 4mph - 30 mintues stairmaster

Friday: rest day usually go roller skating or ride my bike at Manhattan Beach

Saturday: run the culver city stairs - 3 times up 3 times running full speed down - ab ripper x p90x routine

Sunday: run the culver city stairs - 3 times up 3 times running full speed down - ab ripper x p90x routine

I do see my strength progressing as i am comfortable able to add 5 to 10 pounds to my sets every two weeks however every day my muscles are sore and the collagen with my Protein shakes i feel really help recovery time. I've gotten very comfortable with this routine as i go at my own pace and focus more on form than reps etc. i wouldnt recommend it until you are comfortable and get clearance. i also recommend trying different things out. I used a personal trainer for about 4 weeks just to show me the ropes' date=' work on form, and put together a routine. Once I had that foundation, i've just been doing it on my own.[/quote']

Omg super intense, your hard work has certainly paid off.

If anyone is wondering what the stairs that princessita is talking about here is a picture. I pass by there hundreds of times and never dared to go smh. I guess I have to do it if I want to get toned.
