I was blown away by the side by sides. I can't stop looking and smiling at this picture!! This is, by far, the best thing I have ever done for myself. Today...I'm very proud! ????????

Walk walk walk walk walk walk walk!!

Hahah, I have been walking since the day after I came home from surgery. Everyday.

I used to try to get 1-2 miles in the first 2 weeks, then 3-4 since then.

Just keep moving. And you will FEEL great!

I also got the Fitbit and I am obsessed with it.

Message me, keep in touch, I'd love to help in anyway I can!! :)

Oh I do, but honestly, I don't care.

I feel SOOO much better. And look at my arms! I def have extra skin, I started lifting weights and that has seemed to tighten it up some.

I was hoping that still being in my mid 30's my skin would bounce back.

I lotion and exfoliate everyday!

I dunno if it helps but I'm willing to try anything haha :)

The wedding I am in is in 9 days, so I will post another pic in the dress, only this time it's hot pink. Hah

I had to take it to someone to have it taken in, so hopefully this time i have some definition to my arms cause I have been working hard the last few weeks!!

See, now you're getting a body suitable for those tiny ankles you have :)

Thanks so much! You will-just follow what ur doc says and WORK OUT everyday. I do not take a day "off" unless I'm not feeling well or I'm exhausted and need sleep. Even if it's 30 mins of walking the neighborhood. did u have surgery yet?
