Two months at the gym - Results



Recommended Posts

I got measured yesterday at my final session with my personal trainer. I didn't expect any changes because I had only relied on the scale, and my weight actually went up one pound.

However, this made me realize that the work I've been doing really is having an effect on my body.

I'm disappointed in the waist measurement. I always have trouble losing the belly.

But he used a machine that measures body fat and mine went down one percent. My waist and chest did not go down, but my arms and hips and thighs and calves did.

I worked out more in the beginning, and have slacked off recently with excuses about not having time with my new work schedule and my daughters borrowing my car in the evening. But these measurements made me see it's worth it to make the effort. Exercise needs to be a priority.

Take a look at these stats. This is two months of working out between 1-3 times a week.

I never ever measured myself before. I'm so glad I did.

Great work my friend!!! I have to say that I haven't seen much movement on my scale at all...but I can see the difference in my body from working out. I am much stronger, and leaner. I really need to get back into the routine, but this last week I have been having some terrible time breathing with the humidity...it's just miserable. 2 steps out the door and I'm panting like a dog. COPD really stinks!!!

I was expecting literally zero change. This was encouraging to me. Now I want to get back in there and step it up!

Thanks for the tip. I wish I would have tracked my measurements. I'm going to start doing it now for the motivation. I seem to always rely on the scale.

      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. 🤞
