Personal trainer



Recommended Posts

I started back to the gym this week and had my first session with my personal trainer today. Thinks went really well. We are set to meet weekly at least through the end of the year. Looking forward to my next session.

Since I rarely go out to restaurants anymore, I'm able to afford the trainer! That's a win win!!

I'd love to avoid plastics, but despite my intense workouts and heavy weight training, I still see loose skin coming on my upper arms and inner thighs. I'm cautiously optimistic about my stomach though. We'll see...

Weight training and exercise will help fill out the loose skin, but won't do anything truly about the skin itself. Genetics is a huge part and time helps (mine is much less than it used to be). But the more you lost and the longer you were overweight the more the elasticity will be gone and there is nothing to bring that back.

I lost most of my weight and yet my knees still hurt so much that I had trouble climbing stairs. I met a trainer who convinced me he could help me fix that and he did!

He started me off doing assisted squats and now I'm squatting with a 60 lb weight on my back and lunging with 20 lbs - no pain!!!

It was worth every penny for me.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
