Hello everyone! I had surgery 1-9-09 and have lost 70 lbs. Now I am at a standstill. :thumbdown: I have recently started doing the biggest loser workout, but am curious as to what is the best thing to do to get the weight coming off again and toning. I have had 2 c-sections and have the saggy pouch at my incision is there any way to tighten this up? I was wondering since the muscle had been cut if it was now impossible to tighten that up. Also, my back fat....what in the world can I do for that? It isnt extremly bad, but it does drive me nuts. Just wanted to say that I am so happy I made the decision to have this done. I started out at 230 and in a size 24 pants and now I am 160 and in a 11 or 12 jean! Please any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I have been reading so many post on here about the quick weightloss. What did you do to get this much weight off. As of the 13th I have been banded for 2 months. In this time I have only lost 17 pounds. The doctor told me it would be 1 to 2 pounds a month but it seems so many people are losing faster. What can I do, I am walking 3x a week but feel I need to up that. Also I have 4cc in my band, just need some advice.:thumbdown:

I chose not to lose the weight too fast. I've only lost 35 pounds since May, but I've gone from a size 22 to 14. I've been doing pilates, which has built lots of nice long muscles, strengthened me everywhere, and totally toned my abs. I have no loose skin at this point and I've also had a C-section.

Now that I'm going to Pilates 4x a week, I'm ready to add some aerobic exercise to my days. I bought an eliptical. Now to go upstairs and put it together!
