NSVNo crying in dressing rooms! warning - Moi FOtoHo- or 22s to 6/8s, a photo essay

OMG!! Lady you look absolutely AMAZING!! I'm about to go into a size 8 and not looking anywhere nearly as fabulous as you. I always read your posts. Thank you for your tips, I'm going to start working on my upper body today!! Any tips on the lower body?? You are truly an inspiration to many of us! Thank you for sharing with us!!

You are fabulous girlie!!  Yes you are!  I am cutting and pasting a blankety response below about the whole body workout!  Thank you for sharing with me!

Thanks for the compliments and my apologies if this seems like a blanket answer, because well - it only kind of is!    Here is my lifting schedule and an interval format I followed early on.    http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/VSG/4245269/How-in-the-wor ld/page,2/#34896635   But honestly, you do not have to be a muscle head or a gymrat - you can do bodyweight stuff for right now.  Pushups on your knees at first.  Do 5 if you can wide armed, elbows go out, then do 5 arms in close with your elbows coming down by your sides (works triceps more).  Do this a couple of times a day.  Go into the bathroom at work and do it, no you do not have to get on the floor, but you can stand in the stall away from the wall and do it up against the wall.  CONSISTENT SOMETHING IS BETTER THAN NOTHING!!  Do them in the morning when you wake up, do it at lunch, do it before dinner/after dinner or before bed.  Do triceps dips on a coffee table or a chair. 

Wow, Brandillynn, you have perfect curves in all the right places! To hell with the 8 I'd get the 6 and tell everyone to eat their hearts out!

Great job! I can only hope I can get some of my curves back and look half as good!

Thanks girlie.  That was a pretty "spanx" tight size on me, so it held in rogue curves pretty nicely :}  I tried to find the dresses again to get the brand to see if I could find them in my size, and they were gone.  Boo. Not a one left in the whole store. 

You will get your curves back girlie.  And man you are going to flaunt them, I know!  I am sorry this has been such a freaking clusterF*ck road of recovery/trouble/recovery for you!! 

 You totally rock!!  You look awesome and your energy is superb!!
