Yep....the plank.....scary!

Plastic surgery scares the **** outta me! So much I don't think I'll ever do it. I envy the bravery of those who do it!

So, I started working at a new location about a month and a half ago and have not lost a single pound while working here. I've kicked up my workouts like crazy! This week all of my coworkers are commenting on how "skinny" I'm getting. Just when I was getting discouraged, I'm realizing it's all paying off!

In the beginning, yes! But you get strong fast and its a great combination of cardio and strength training. I get more results with them than anything else. My favorite is her Kickboxing one. It's only 20 minutes and at first I couldn't get through the whole thing. Now it's a little too easy. I'm working on her No Trouble Zones right now. OMG I'm literally dying after but I can almost do the whole thing now. It's 50 minutes long!

I like Jillian Michaels DVDs. Tae bo sounds fun though!

Did you take a tax deduction for the cost of your VSG in Mexico?
Nicolanz replied to IdahoGirl32's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I read that if you get audited, you also have to show proof of medical necessity. I calculated it in last year and it didn't change anything so I didn't risk it. -
I just want to say that you are an amazing mother, OP! Wow, what an opportunity you are giving your daughter! Even if the new plan fails, she will be more prepared for the surgery than a lot of people are. The transition to a healthy lifestyle is the most important part of this process! She is very lucky to have you as a mom!

I need some friends who eat more than 800 calories a day! I work out everyday and try to stay above 1200 calories a day. Some days it's hard, others it's too easy! Wanna be my friend? Add me! Nicolanz27

What's your internal dialogue?
Nicolanz replied to No game's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Mine is the same as yours today. After dinner we are going on a family walk. I found a great breezy, quiet spot and right when the dusk is upon us and it's getting cooler outside is my favorite time. Hopefully it will cheer me up! Hope you find peace within yourself as well. -
I'm with you! I have 6 more pounds until I'm not "morbidly obese" anymore. I'm also in a size 14. I feel fat but not obese, come on!
-
For the past 4 or 5 weeks I've been going up and down the same 3 pounds! One day I'll be 204 and the next I'll be 207! I weigh at the same time every morning when I wake up. Do you think there could be something medically wrong? I have kicked up my workouts with lots of strength training this month. I have a calorie deficit of 1000-1200 everyday. I hope it's just something as simple as water retention.

Well it's good to know it's normal! Haha! I have 5-6 pounds until I'm out of the obese category (I'm tall). So I think you're right, God has an interesting sense of humor!

Gorgeous! -
I understand about hormones! I had the sleeve 2 months after having a baby. I'd go from screaming to crying in about 2.7 seconds! As far as the forum goes, try not to let it get to you. Like everyone has said, it's their issue not yours. If being nasty makes them feel better, fine, just scroll on by and don't feed into it!

Yea.. what Gman said .....that's what I meant!

Confidence is very attractive! Fake it 'til you make it!

Good luck ladies!!! I will be thinking of y'all tomorrow! Everything you're going through and will go through will be so worth it! In a few months you will feel somewhat normal and have the rest of your life to live healthy! How freakin exciting is that?!?! -

I was sleeved a couple weeks before Thanksgiving. Boy, the holidays were rough! I just tried to stay focused on why I was doing all of this! -

I was only in pain for about 24 hours but sore for about 4 days. I had a hard time with the sleeve though.
