jasleeve 440 Posted July 17, 2012 well guys, today was my 1st time in the gym since having surgery. its been over 7 months! i took it easy & didnt go too too hard like im a body builder but i also didnt go too easy as to where i wasnt doing much. i have been in and out of gyms for about 8yrs now & i have NEVER sweat so much in my life. sweat was pouring down my face. i loved it! i also had a non scale victory! i usually do assisted pull ups because i have no upper body strength. for those of you who never used this machine, basically the more weight you add on to the machine, the easier it is & more assisted it is for you to do a pull up. you kinda have to climb up onto the machine. anyway, before at 273, i would put it at the heaviest & as soon as i kneeled on the machine, it would start going down! well, because im 97lbs down, i put it at the heaviest & the machine didnt even move!!!!! lol. i was too light! wow. it felt amazing! i smiled like lol so i changed my short term goal. before it was to lose 11lbs in 41days. it is now to lose 21lbs in 41days. if i dont meet my goal, thats fine! i know ive lost a lot of weight & still have to work very hard but if i do meet it, omg! id be so happy!!! 1 Smiley79 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chelle68 27 Posted July 17, 2012 Jasleeve I have been looking at your before and after pics and you look great! My question is do you have alot of loose skin. I am 270 and looking to loose 100+lbs. And the loose skin is a bit of a concern for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chelle68 27 Posted July 17, 2012 Thank you for your response that really eases my mind. I have saved for new breasts and a Tummy Tuck if need be but I really don't want to do a tummy tuck. That looks painful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
