Good morning everybody, wanted to give a quick update, first off for all that don't know me my name is Brandy I had surgery in April and down 69 pounds. Its been a short long journey for me and my family. I went through a complete life overhaul. I quit my part time job of 5 yrs, enrolling my oldest daughter in homeschool this year. I have a real passion for workingout and family time. Life have changed only for the better. Hope everybody have a blessed weekend.
I'm sitting here with my legs crossed and foot wrapped behind my calf. Not a fat person's easiest position with thighs like mine. I'm holding a 135-140 lb loss. I'm dressed in size zero jeans. My belly looks like Pooh Bear and I feel like a fat slob.
You are not alone. If nothing else feeling big and sloppy makes me exercise and fight off weight gain. I hold up my clothes & they look normal. I put them on & I look huge. Before wls I thought I looked pretty fine yet I cringe looking at myself today.
Fight the head games. Remember you have come far and are still moving forward. Hopefully the mind will catch up to reality for us both.

Look at the muscles on these girls. Even at over three times the age of our own Miss Gabrielle, I know I can be stronger, firmer, and more well defined than I am without pretending to be an athelete.

I'll never do this but I can be limber and flexible in my own right. Its too late for me where smooth, taught and lean legs are concerned but under this skin I can have long well defined muscle.

Joint trouble? Go low impact and swim. Temperature controlled pools can make swimming possible for those with heat sensitivities that interrupt other forms of working out. Look at the visable strength of these women's bodies. You do not have to look like a muscle bound man to be strong.

Youth is not required. These US olympians turned 30 and 35 respectively yet they are 2012 medal hopefuls.

I'm going to use some of these olympic pics to inspire me when I want to chose the easy work out over the one my body really needs for my personal best. I'm holding the men's swimming, wrestling, and gymnastic pics for eye candy. Oh so delicious.
Check out loads of inspiration and motivation. These pics are all from ESPN. Get Motivated! Be Inspired!
