I have sorta been in a slump with weight loss lately. On a long long plateau which is normal all you newbies out there. Expect a plateaus from time to time they suck but know they do happen. Anyway, some of you know (DELARLA) that I have hired a personal trainer to come and help me tone certain areas. She has been coming to the house for about 3 weeks now. I didn't think it was working other than making my abs really sore. But I did my monthly measurements just now.

Since I was banded here are my results:

Breasts 50 pre - 43 TODAY = 7 inches lost

Waist 48 pre - 40 TODAY = 8 inches lost

Hips 54 pre - 49 TODAY = 5 inches lost

Thighs 31 pre - 26.5 TODAY = 4.5 inches lost (one thigh)

Calf 21 pre - 18 TODAY = 3 inches lost (one calf)

Upper arm 21 pre - 17 TODAY = 4 inches lost (one arm)

Total lost to date from surgery = 31.5 inches HOORAY!!

Total lost from the 3 week training session 6.5 inches DOUBLE HOORAY!!!!

SO yes the tears do floweth plentiuth hereth.

LOL!!!!:banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana

Mine is pretty inexpensive actually. She charges me $80 a week. She does aerobics, toning, yoga, pilates, free weights, etc. She begins the 1 hour session with stretching then cardio/aerobics with and without free weights then progresses to the toning and whatever else WE decide to do in the remaining time. Then about 5 min of cool down. She also happens to be a good friend of mine so we laugh alot along with the session. With others you can get more specific with what you want. It is IMPORTANT that you find a trainer that listens to you and gives you clear idea of what would be realistic and attainable for you. The trainer should push you but not to the point of being like a drill instructor. After all YOU are paying them to get you in shape. THEY work for you and if you don't feel comfortable with them then keep looking. My trainer, Andrea, has been in exercise business for 20 years, experienced in Pilates, Yoga, and is a certified reflexologist. Just ask for credentials and get some personal recommendations from either current or past clients. That was probably more info than you wanted but get your monies worth is important. If you are gonna sweat then get some benefit out of it.

Happy sweating and losing and shrinking.

Congratulations Penny! Keep up the good work...By the way..I am thinking of getting a personal trainer to come to my house...can you tell me about how much they cost and what you get?

Mike was at a plateau too Penni, and he (and my Spudboy) been working with a trainier for about 3 weeks too. I know he didn't get a measurement before starting. (I don't know of any soft tape measure-er that is long enough...) He's broken his plateau too!

Penni,

Stick with what you are doing. I have had plateaus ( been on one for months now) , but someone will see me who hasnt seen me in amonth or two and say, "Wow, you look a lot thinner". The only thing it could be is the exercise. You are compacting!!!

Wow - well done Penni! That's fantastic - I was getting fed up on my plateau too, and did my measurements - I did them the night before surgery and had never re-done them - I had lost 35" overall!! I couldn't believe it! The scales are harsh sometimes - hard to remember they aren't the only measument of weight loss

I'm so happy for you Penni xx

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
