Man - on the really real.... I worked out with a trainer for a solid year after my WLS - and kept doing her routines after that. So - I will say that *I* believe in the power of weight training - that you can be heavy and fine - and not be fat..... BUT - 200 and a size 12 just still don't 'compute' for me....... I should be under 180 for that.....

I don't just have issues, I have subscriptions! I'm saving on the newsstand price.......

Well...your body is computing something....sure you are not holding it in your Gluteus maximus....hehehehe....holding two pot roasts in your back pockets. I know I won't have that issue ~sigh~ I'll be holding two pancakes in mine.

A big ass...me? NOPE!!!! My DNA has 'noassatall' syndrome hard coded!!!! I have to do squats, deadlifts and leg press to give some notion of an ass - and even then it ain't nothing.....

Apple Bottom? nope - applesauce, maybe!!!! But my Gloria Vanderbuilt jean fit like a dream!!!! I got a pink lady ass!!!

OMG!!!!

We must be in the same club.....what kills me...I don't have an ass but I have this little huck of fat that sits on my tail bone...its like is an appetizer or something...to remind me of the ass I might have had.

I can't wait to see that hunk of fat I call bootsie GONE. If I get down to 180 and its still there...I imagine...I am going to need them to lippo that shioot out or something when I go in for everything else.

One thing I do know...our type of asses look good in skirt and pants suits. Don't have our jackets riding all up in the backs.

I joined LA Fitness yesterday to get a better handle on the next 115lbs I have to lose. Phew...115lbs.

I am also a member of Curves but Curves is not longer giving me what I REALLY need (since losing 77lbs).

The new orientation Director at LA Fit gave me some AWESOME tips, as well as showing me how to use their strength training machines. I am so excited and can't wait to get back in there to work out again!! 200lbs, I'm coming for your ass!!

Surgery Date 9/9/2009
Starting Weight 395
Goal Weight 200
Current Weight 242

153lbs LOST....so far!

Hey - get 115 out of your head - break that **** up. If you look at the whole thing, you will get easily overwhelmed.

Hopefully you have weight training in your very near future - THAT is the thing that I truly believe has me at 200 but in a 10/12....... I preach the free weight gospel all the time - haven't had someone yet say that they didn't benefit from it.

Dag, I had posted it and didn't bookmark it. From what I remember it said our muscles and bones were denser hence the higher BMI. I believe it said a healthy BMI was 26 instead of 24.9, but don't quote me. You prob could google it
