That's how I feel. It's not even worth it to me. And I feel so much better getting all that caffeine out of my body.

I figured this is a new healthy lifestyle for me and the chemicals in diet coke don't mix with that. So I've given it up completely. A side effect of that? My teeth look FABULOUS!

Statistically speaking, it's the only way out. Studies show most people who lose their weight through diet and exercise alone gain it back and then some. The odds would not be in your favor trying it any other way. Perhaps you should google some of the many reports that show it's almost hopeless for obese people to lose weight on their own and keep it off. Maybe he'll come around? A little?

Wait, you mean butter's not supposed to be white? And cheese isn't supposed to be orange?

I stopped several weeks before surgery because I didn't want to deal with caffeine withdrawals while dealing with healing from the surgery. I started whitening my teeth so that I wouldn't be tempted to go back to them. I feel a million times better without all those nasty chemicals coursing through my body so I have zero desire to drink one again.

I was just wondering how other people attacked it and when they felt they were close. If 175 is my goal, then I'm pretty close to it. This whole process has been 5 pound goals at a time. Now I feel like looking a little further down the road.
Or I can just keep doing what I'm doing and see where that road leads me. It's not like I'm on a "diet" and can just quit when I make goal.

As of this week's weigh in, I have officially lost 30% of my body weight. And today the scale was at 200.8. I am this [ ] close to Onederland!!! Oh how happy I am. I still can't believe this is real and it feels so good. So to Celebrate, I'm heading to the gym!
Onederland, here I come!

You've got that Toni Braxton thing going on with the fabulous face that can totally pull off a short look. I'm jealous. I think it looks great!
I've been losing my hair big time the last month. Fortunately, I have a ton of hair so no one else can tell, but I can. I started taking Biotin hoping against hope that it would work. Literally right now as I type, my hair in soaking in deep conditioner and biosilk. I'm hoping I won't have to chop it off. I don't think I can rock a short do like you can.

Surgery was March 7th. I'm not a fanatic exerciser, just 3 times a week sometimes 4. I think it's the quality of my exercise. I'm doing mostly strength training and I can FEEL the difference in my body. It's not just weight loss. It's muscle toning, body sculpting, and weight loss mixed together. Plus, I don't eat a lot of junk (can't really. It makes me sick). Just yesterday I went to Rita's and got a cherry/vanilla gelati. I had maybe 5 bites of it and had to give it to my husband. The sugar just sits weird in my stomach. So I'm a grilled meat/veggie girl. No fast food, fried food, and very little sugar.

I've been weight/resistance training 3 times a week and taking step once a week. This Tuesday, I thought I'd take a new resistance class just to change up my routine. I can handle it right? I've been working out like a fiend so it should be ok.
So after several minutes of squats, lunges, knees, kicks and more squats, I was really starting to feel it in my hamstrings and glutes. Then I bent over to put a weight in front of my board so it wouldn't slide and there went my hamstrings. Both of them. I couldn't do another lunge and I could barely walk out of the class. It's actually kinda funny looking back on it. Here I was thinking I was all that and this class put me in my place. I'm better now but that class has just issued a challenge to me. I will not let it win. So yes, I'm going back for more torture next Tuesday. Maybe I can find a different muscle to pull.

I totally regretted it the first two weeks. I cried every day. I was miserable. Now? I'm rocking this sleeve! I'm down 80 pounds as of this morning and I look HAWT! I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Focus like a laser on getting in some Water, especially with this heat. For the first week or so, my favorite Protein drinks were too sweet and just plain nasty but that gets better. The Water is the #1 most important thing right now. You have to force yourself to do it. Imagine what's left of your stomach shriveling away like a banana on the sidewalk in this heat. You don't want that right? Drink up!
chug chug chug chug chug chug!
LOL, Ok, don't chug. sip sip sip sip sip sip sip
