BigViffer 3,544 Posted April 1, 2016 (edited) Been making small increases in my weights and calories and I am noticing some my results: attachment=61074:IMG_20160401_130940~01-01.jpeg]I'm getting about 1700 calories, eating very clean, and staying active. Lots of cardio with heart rate between 120 & 160. The thing that I am happiest about is the lack of post workout pain. I like to think that it is because for the first time in my life, I am making long term goals instead of trying to bulk up as fast as possible. I'm taking special care to pay attention to my form and how my body is reacting to my regimen. I am also doing yoga regularly. After punishing my muscles with weights, deep stretches help with the recovery. Edited April 1, 2016 by BigViffer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigViffer 3,544 Posted April 1, 2016 <edit> Oh, I also want to point out something before anyone freaks out. Yes that big black dot that looks like a 2nd navel is a scar from the surgery. I had a huge hematoma. That is what caused that, most people don't have that kind of scarring. They way I see it, I have so many scars from the car accident that almost killed me, I can just tell people thats what that one is from. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thucydides 250 Posted April 1, 2016 Thanks so much for posting what you each of you has been doing. Not only is it a big inspiration for someone like me that is only about 5 months out, but it is really informative. It is a big help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BigTink2LilTink 723 Posted April 2, 2016 This is me. I'm now starting to appreciate my progress so far, yet know I still have a long way to go before I'm satisfied with myself. Of course the long picture is current as of 6 days ago. I'm right at around 250lbs at 6'5. The upper right pictures was me at my absolute heaviest weight. Again that was about 598lbs and about 9 years ago. The bottom left picture was about a month post surgery. It hard to tell in that picture, but I was down 130lbs from my heaviest weight. So the journey continues, but seeing these pictures keep me motivated to continue. Sent from my SM-N910P using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
