I went from a size 30/32 down to a 14/16 short and an 18 pants.... So excited! Just wanted to drop in and show some pics. Congratulations!! You look great! How did u loose so much in 6 months?? I'm schedules for march 19th.. Any tips? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sleevesuccess 9 Posted March 10, 2012 Thanks everyone!!! I looked at my post and noticed swype was not my friend last night! LOL... I did not proofread before I sent it but I will with this one! So many typos. @carbgrl the funny thing is I actually started out doing Richard Simmons everyday with my belly bands on. I moved very exaggerated while doing it for a more intense workout. The weight seemed to be melting off. After I noticed a weight slow down I added climbing Stone Mountain to my regimen. That is a park where there is mountain climbing. This helped with leg and butt toning as well as good cardio. As far as food is concerned I was very strict in the beginning doing the liquid to purees and then gradually added foods as told. Carbs are not my friend so I ”try” to stay away from them. But I do a lot of seafood and veggies. Some fruit because of the sugar, but I do have some when I want it. I have tried most things but I admit they are not as appeasing as before surgery and I am so happy! @HopeThruFaith yes I have excess skin problems with my arms mostly. A little on my thighs but I think extreme training will help that. And of course my stomach but I think my 2 kids helped with that... Lol. I hope that I answered all questions. Thanks again for the support everyone!:-D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
