Maybe that was wishful thinking. LOL

Im sorry. I typed the wrong thing yesterday. Was very tired. My starting weight was 226 and I am now 162. HipHOp Abs is a workout video set to hip hop music. I orderded it from tv but you can go to beachbody.com (i think) and order it. I also do lunges and squats. I also walk on the treadmill at #2 incline. Hope this helps out and I am sorry for the typo. lol

Thank you Cee for your nice comment. Its been a long road and I am only 8 lbs from my goal. If there is anything I can do or say to help you, just say the word. I am willing to help anyone that I can. My goal is to wear a beautiful red evening gown for the Valentines Day ball in our area in a size 9. I am working very hard to achieve that goal. Keep in touch.

Let me be one of the first to say CONGRADULATIONS!!!! I know you are both excited and nervous. I had my surgery a year ago today and have not regretted it. I have went from a size 20 to a size 12 and still losing. I promise you, If you stay in the box and do as you are told, you will not regret your decision. I got off the wagon for a while but I am now back on track. Good luck and keep me posted.

Hello Jessica. My starting weight was 116 and at 5'2 that was entirely too much. My workout routine started out with walking on the treadmill at 4 mph for 30 minutes. It was a struggle at first but it got easier and easier. Later (maybe a month or so later) I started doing weights. I work on my upper body one day then lower body the next. I still do my cardio everyday no matter what. I also have HipHop abs for the days I just dont feel like going to the gym. And by the way, I know just what you mean about guys liking girls with booty. LOL I was blessed in that department. Lost a lot of weight but still got my booty. lol As for my scars, I have 5 and 2 of them are hardley noticable. If I had to do it all over again, I would in a heartbeat. It had been a God send for me. Keep me posted on your progress.

Im sorry. Should have read it before posting. I meant COMMENT instead of FOMMENT. LOL

Thank you for you fomment on my picture. I hope everything goes well for you and your surgery. I had mine last year and had absolutely NO touble at all. No pain, no sickness, nothing. Well almost nothing. The gas was awful for the first week but after that I was good to go. I wish you much success with yours as well. Please keep me posted.

Thank you for your helpful advice. I must admit I had fallen into some bad habits and had stopped exercising as much as I did in the beginning because of a shift change on my job. For the last 2 weeks I have went back to really watching what I eat and limiting my calorie intake. I have started working out at least once a day for 30 minutes (sometimes twice). I am back on the wagon now and am really trying to reach my goal. I have come too far to stop now. I will tell anyone, its easier getting off the wagon than it is to get back on so my advice is dont get off. lol I will turn 40 in February and it is my goal to be 155 by then. I weigh 162 now so I think I will reach my goal. I will keep you posted.

Thank you sooo much for the encouraging words. Its getting a little easier now because I am more determined than ever. I am not getting the support from my husband as I did in the beginning because he says I have lost enough but I have a goal in mind and wont stop until I reach that goal. Thank you again for your encouraging words. It means more than you will ever know.

Hello OneHot Mama. I saw that you had your surgery today and I wanted to say, first hello and second I wanted to check to see if you were feeling well. I know that you dont know me because I am new to this site but my name is Brenda and I had my surgery last year on the 28th. Mine went well and I hope yours did also.
