Amazing job... I am jealous of your lack of love handles or belly fat. I know you can't spot reduce fat but what do you have any tips for love handles/mid section?

How many Calories/protein/carbs are you eating daily?

Any lose skin?

I just do lots of cardio, I run 5-8 miles every third day and do Crossfit on days I don't run. I do abs everyday to tighten my midsection and it's worked so far. I don't count carbs/protein I just eat high Protein food all day long, and on days I run I make sure I get a few servings of long grain brown rice in or I will feel terrible.

Thank you for your response' date=' you are an inspiration to me . You make your own granola ? Thats awesome !!! I even like your workout schedule, it makes sense. Did you notice a slower weightloss while you were adding muscle?[/quote']

Yes if I lift too much I don't lose that's why I rest every third day. Yes I make granola out of cashews, pumpkin seed, sunflower seeds, honey, and coconut, chop them all finely together and bake, it's AMAZING!

What is your secret? You have no loose skin at all for losing 100 lbs in less than 5 months. Do you get in enough Protein?

I get in lots of Protein, I just workout like crazy, I only have a small amount of loose skin on my belly but I hope I can shrink it

Beautiful!

I'm down 100lbs

Oh' date=' my.... good analogy! Since I knew the insurance was gonna cover it (two weeks ago), I went off (a little at a time ... I flirted first) my 3 year lo carb, high Protein, no processed food, as-healthy-as-I-can diet. I've been in a full on LAST FLING AFFAIR with many the "bad foods" I'm saying goodbye to in quantity and may only wink at in the future!!!

After my surgery I will be faithful and adhere to my new sleeve diet religiously... only after 6 to 8 months I plan to allow myself an occasional flirt with my favorites and indulge on rare (super rare) occasions ... dark chocolate, a slice of bacon, a bite or two of birthday cake or fresh made bread.< /p>

I know very well if I say "I'll never eat that again" it will make me obsess about it anyway. Knowing I can eventually have it in a small amount helps me accept the lifestyle and claim it wholeheartedly.

A girl's gotta flirt! Especially when I'll be looking so HOT! (lol...)[/quote']

You ladies are hot already!

Newly single and looking for a fellow sleever to chat and be friends with, and see if more develops.

Hmmmm looking good' date=' would you be so kind to give us a days worth of eating also how often do you work out?[/quote']

I workout on a three day rotation, day 1 run 5-7 miles, day two full body Crossfit routine, day 3 rest.... Repeat!!!!!

Breakfast : Greek yogurt with chopped fruit and granola, not from store, I make it myself.

snack : string cheese

lunch : grilled chicken salad

Snack : yogurt/cheese/fruit/baby carrots just depends

dinner : grilled Protein like chicken/turkey/fish and some veggies like green beans/ corn/ broccoli and SMALL serving of rice

That's a basic days, these are all very small portions and I eat till I'm full, but I rarely finish.

Thank you - nope havent worked out like crazy there are weeks where I work out more than others but I do strength train 2x a week with a personal trainer as well as walking and a bit of running and team sports. This was the one piece of advice given to me by a bypass patient at my info evening. Tone as you lose as theres not much u can do about it afterwards.

No secrets - but I did go up to 1000 cal as soon as I could so I didnt go into starvation mode. I also mix my food up daily - so my body doesnt get used to anything. Always Protein first. Dont forget to treat yourself - everything in moderation has worked for me

Good luck with your journey!

I just do it in my garage based on the website. Thanks ladies

What is the cross fit program.

Go to Crossfit.com and they post a workout there each day. It's all about functional strength and lots of reps and muscular endurance.

Just wanted to let everyone know how much I love this program. Just wanted to show what it's done for me!

Looking good

Thanks Becky
