Finally! 20 Year Wait Completely Worth It! - Los Angeles, CA

10 1/2 weeks and I just spent the weekend at Stagecoach (music festival)! 3 days of hot sun, dancing, music, food, beer, and I feel great! We'll see what tomorrow brings, but this has been a fun weekend! Yay! Goodnight y'all!

I stopped wearing any binder or spanx by week 8. I weaned off starting at almost 7 weeks. I felt really unsupported for a couple of days and sometimes still when i eat too much and my actual stomach is full i feel like i need a cg to hold my upper muscles steady. But after a couple days without the cg it was like my muscles remembered their job and it felt more normal. Im 10 weeks and i've done a few sit ups too. Listen to your ps and your body. I have no knowlege of this but it seems like a cg could become like a crutch if relied on too much. Your muscles will work if they need to, i think you'll be fine if you ease off the cg. Scary, i know! Having said all that, i had a regular tt with mr, not a vertical insision. You can do it! :)

I'm with you Lornadoone. I thought my lack of enthusiam for working out would be overcome with how wonderful my tummy looks. Hasnt happened yet. Why wasnt I born with the gym gene? Georgiaexcited's pep talk helped a little, but im still not going today. Haha.

You look great! Love the pic in your daughter's bathing suit, that's fun. I don't get spasms, but my upper abs have been bothering my a little the last couple of weeks. I probably need to do situps to tighten those muscles a little. It seems like that would help, but I'm a little afraid. Inspiring that so many of you are starting to exercise and its ok.

You look amazing! I see the abs in your pics, its inspiring me... maybe I'll do a situp today :)
