It was 1 year ago today that my life changed. Feeling so blessed!

dang girl! how did you get muscles like that?

Lol thnx! I go to the gym monday to friday. Kickboxing...teadmill with 3lbs weights.. Bosu bootcamp ....

How soon after surgery did you start working out like that-I'm preop and struggle doing 10 mins of low impact aerobics lol.

6 weeks after surgery i started the gym but just the elliptical. But i would go everyday even if it was just 20-30 mins .. Little by little i went progressing ..... Make it a point to be a little active little by little ..it will get easier..... Its all a mind thing after. Before the sugery i couldnt do much myself.... Going up one flight of stairs would kill me. I also had bac k problems . but after the sugery i promised myself i would go.... I did not want to rely on the surgery.

When is your surgery?

It won't be till July at the earliest. I have to complete a 6 month diet thing first-yack.

I've just started doing the aerobic thing every other day. I would love to go outside and walk but it is like 17 degrees here with a wind chill of 8.

Do you have any kids? I have a clingy 10 month old, so he makes it pretty hard to get a chance to get anything in-I usually wait for him to go to bed. I am hoping by the time after surgery and he will be almost a 1 year and a half, it won't be as bad.

Since you workout alot, did you have alot of issues with loose skin? It is something I keep thinking about lol-I so don't want to have to wear a bunch of girdles.

Awesome! My surgery is on the sixth....I hope I can get a body like that!

Happy Anniversary! Good (hard) work! If you don't mind.....what was your starting weight and how old are you? Inspirational!

Thank you ! Thank you! I started at 265lbs. 34 yrs old. I still have a lot of fat around my thighs. That will be hard to completely tone....but i have hard too many surgeries already so i will work hard to avoid the skin removal surgery if possible.

Amanda...good luck on your surgery.... It is worth the wait. I have 5 year old and a 17 year old (step) ....a very supportive husband...and i am blessed to bave gym at my work....it was always there lol but after the sugery i had he energy because i started sleeping better and my back issues went away.... I live in Canada so the cold temps right now dont help ...... Try to fit in activities.... When you can. It will get easier.

I'm sorry....one more question. How tall are you? I'm the same age and same pre op weight. You're inspiring me to what is possible!
