my 6 month progress report
I didn't even realize it until I logged on to OH, but today is my 6 month surgiversary.
I'm finally below 170...it took 3 1/2 weeks for the plateau to break, but this morning I weighed 168...yeah.
I had a great kind of wow moment at the gym today. I started working out on June 1 and the trainer took my body comp. When I went in today I asked him when we would do a follow up & he said today was as good a time as any. Here are the statistics....I've lost 11 lbs, but gained 4 lbs of muscle (that's a good thing). My body fat was 42% when I started and now it's 39% (still way too high, but it's getting there). My bmi is 30.9 down from 43 the day of surgery. I was surprised by these statistics so I think that qualifies as a wow moment.
My trainer gave me a few really nice compliments. He said that I was a trooper in that I never complained when he upped my workout. He also said that alot of bariatric patients start this program, but don't stick with it. He said he was really proud of me & my progress. It really made my day.
I will try to get a picture posted in the next few days. Hope everyone had a great day today.
