yeah, i love that it even keeps track when you do housework! i scrubbed my kitchen floor on my hands and knees over the weekend, (not something i do often, just spring cleaning) and after 2 hours i was sweating, my arms and legs were so freakin sore and i said "self, this feels like cardio" so i looked it up and low and behold 2 hours of hard core cleaning is 600 calories!

PS Love your new profile pic!

Heck yeah, Im going to sound like a cheesy 90s sitcom but YOU GO GIRL! Good luck in love or lust, you deserve it. Maybe it will last, maybe it wont, but enjoy this time in your life and have fun girl. Just remember be safe! LOL

Peacequeen, dont stress it! You will lose weight! Just make sure you are getting your protein, taking your vitamins and drinking all your water. Get in some cardio if you can. Not only will it get your heart rate up, but probably make you feel better. And the bright side, the slower you lose the less loose skin you have. This is a marathon, not a sprint. I know those words dont mean much when you are not losing but it will happen. Maybe you need to reevaluate your eating plan? Do you have a smart phone? Myfitnesspal app. has been a huge help to me. Keeps my protein and carbs in check. Good luck my fellow December Diva!

I am not going to drink soda EVER, not because I'm worried about stretching my stomach, but because soda us a HUGE trigger! I used to drink 4 20oz bottles of regular mt dew a day! It has been unseasonably warm here in WV the past couple days and all I've been thinking about is that delicious green goodness. But im just saying no for life! I have worked too hard to lose the first 60 pounds in the past 3 months, I refuse to cave in. Somethings are just worth it :-)

Surgery has just about cured my love of chocolate. I had a sip of my husbands milkshake and thought I would go into a sugar coma. When I want chocolate I have a bite of a Lindell truffle or ghierdelle I buy in a single serving at a convince store I just take a bite and throw the rest away or share. They are less than 50 cents so its not too wasteful.

Sure, i actually find a lot of good workouts on pintrest, if you wanna check that out. but Monday Friday i do this 15 minute run/jog on treadmill, push yourself as hard as you can to get your heart rate elevated. Yes any walking you do is good, but you really need to get your heart rate elevated for 15-20 minutes. my target heart rate is 152. then i do what i call the countdown exercise 100 squats, 90 reverse lunges, 80 dead leg lifts, 70 mt climbers, 60 bridge lifts, 50 calf raises, 40 plie squats, 30 crossover lunges, 20 squat jumps, 10 burpess. then i finsh with another 15 miunutes on treadmill and 10 minutes of abs. Tue and thur i do a class called Total Body conditioning. Itt is a combo or aeroboics and strength training. Wed i do a swim class, Every other Sat i do boot camp. If you are a member of a gym check out the classes, a lot of gyms have classes for different parts of the body. My gym has a Butts and Guts class, i will be taking when i get closer to goal. The important thing for exercise is to mix it up and dont do it half a$$. I know the weight will come off even if i sit at home and do nothing, but i want to help it every way i can. Not only do i want to be skinny i want to be healthy and toned! you can be thin and be unhealthy. I have also been in ketosis for 3 weeks so that helps im sure.

I LOVED this one! i was so excited when my other chin went away. I got the warm and fuzzies when i could shave my legs without feeling like i was choking to death. I shave a lot more often now lol. Also, dont want to jinx myself but i havent stalled once! i have a few workouts i do a week that shock my body i guess and keeps me losing weight. This isnt exactly a warm and fuzzy, but i work at a neighborhood store and a customer said "hey, where did your a$$ go" baahaaa. I said it might be getting smaller but its getting higher and tighter. Its nice when people tell you things even when they are crass about it lol.

I love Ms. B too. her music makes up most of my workout playlist!

Have you had your thyroid checked? Maybe ask your doc for a TSH, T4, T5 blood test.

Honestly, i was kinda worried i was getting hooked, cause i was using it every day but after i ran out i didnt have any withdrawls so i mustve needed it i guess.

toradol will knock you on your a$$. LOL you will get plenty of sleep. Its weird though cause the Liquid Loratab knocked me out, i loved the liquid cause you get all warm and i would fall right to sleep! I miss it on nights i cant sleep.

I loved those salads too, with all the delicious veggies, so now when i want a salad ill save it for dinner. Then ill have a 30 Protein shake or shot for Breakfast, then another for lunch, then pig out on my salad for dinner without worrying i didnt get enough protein.

i have always been the "fat friend". My girlfriends love that i have so much energy. It used to be everything we did revolved around food. Now we got to the gym, run in the park, we even went shopping. Shopping is so much more fun when you can pick your clothes. I am still in a bigger size than them, but for the most part we can shop in the same stores. We even picked out matching "goal" outfits lol. We still hit panera bread for a yummy lunch though. but now i get a salad or soup, instead of salad, soup, bread and desert.

yep i sure did! My doc also told me something i didnt know, i will not be able to take arthritis meds due to the sleeve. Wish someone wouldve told me that before the surgery, my granny and mom both have it. and im going to have to suffer through with Tylenol? ugh. My Doc also said no NSAIDS. Not worth the risk. Hopefully when i lose all the weight i wont have as many aches and pains :-D

ephedrine: a love hate relationship. LOVED the way it made me lose weight, hated the way it made me feel. Mean cranky jittery. I used to take Stackers when they put ephedrine in it. It will kick start your metablism thats for sure. I used to take one with breakfast and not have to eat the rest of the day.

I always loved subway, I'm 3 months out and still can't eat the bread. Hope that changes eventually!

I got a steroid shot for my heel spur. Helps almost a hundred percent! Worth it for a shot in the bootie

I wouldnt drink a 60 gram protein in one setting. Our body only absorbs 25-30 grams at a time, and that takes 3 hours. inless you sip on it all day you are just not abosrbing the protein. Im struggling with protein right now, my sleeve doesnt like the thickness of almost all of them. My husband is grumbling cause i probably have 300 bucks worth of powders that i dont like. Im hoping eventually i will be able to drink them. But i like Muscle milk ok, i put ice in it and make a smoothie and ive been drinking the protein "shots" once it hits my tongue its over i cant swallow, so i pour it in a shot glass and toss it to the back of my throat like im downing tequila.Takes me about a half hour doing it like that but it ends up being 46 grams at the end of the day, then i dont stress cause i know i eat enough meat to cover the rest.

THANK GOD I FOUND THIS!! My hair loss started over the weekend. When i brushed my hair on Friday i said man i need to clean out my brush. So i did. Then after i brushed on Saturday it was full again. It dawned on me what happened and i just sat down on the toilet and cried! i shed all day Saturday and i dont even want to get into the hair i left in the shower sat and sun and just running my fingers through my hair the hair that was falling out. OMG! My hair has always been my pride, besides the boobies lol. As long as i dont get any bald spots i have a few fake ponytails and hair pieces i can just wear my hair pulled back but we are going to Florida in May and i really wanna look hot. Starting the Biotin tomorrow.maybe some rogaine? Anyone ever used it? My hair is fine so that makes me extra nervous!

I already saving for a boob job. I'm down almost 50 pounds and they are already sagging bad, and I've always had a bigger chest even before I gained all my weight. I love boobs. They were always my favorite thing about myself. I had some awesome cleavage. The hubs loved them too, he didn't say much when I hold him my plan For plastics. Think that's all I'm going to get done. If I look down and see some perfect boobs I think I'll be ok with the rest of my imperfections!

On the ice cream I bought a box of weight watchers mini ice cream sandwiches, they were less than a hundred calories and saved me during PMS when I needed a fix. I wouldn't recommend keeping them in your freezer all the time though.

I eat the weight watchers sometimes, well I usually eat the meat and a bite or two of veggies then I'm full. I keep then in the freezer because sometimes I am disorganized in the morning snc need to grab a quick lunch for work.
