  1. I'm 5'...very short! I carry most of my weight around my stomach and abdomen:-( killer on my back! I haven't taken measurements but I'm wearing 13/14...depending on the jean brands. I THINK I have some that are size 12. Idk what shape I am...butt, legs and boobs have been the first things to go lol... highest weight 224#<br />sx weight 213# (11/20/12)<br />current weight 155.6#(6/5)
  2. I'm goin to try the avocado with my tuna. I usually use mayo with olive oil but I'm kind of getting tired of tuna. So maybe the change will be good! highest weight 224#<br />sx weight 213# (11/20/12)<br />current weight 155.6#(6/5)
  3. 6 months out Breakfast: Protein shake (4oz Water and 4oz of skim milk) Snack: 9 pieces pork rinds Lunch: 3 oz of lean ground beef, 2 cheese slices and 14 small tostitos Snack: greek yogurt w/nuts Dinner: tuna (pouch) w/ 1tbsp olive oil mayo and 1tsp of mustard.

  4. I finally went in to my 6 month appt. I hate the dr scale bcuz it said 158.8#. Well my scale says 156.2#. He says I'm 2# away from what he thought I would hit. I'm hoping to hit 150# during the summer! I'm happy overall bcuz total weight lost is 67#! Thank God for this sx:-) thanks to my hubby pushing me to do it! highest weight 224#<br />sx weight 213# (11/20/12)<br />current weight 157#(5/25)

  7. I couldn't keep the bariatric ones down:-( so I buy mine at walmart and have been doin great with them! If ur losing then I wouldn't sweat it! At first I was worried about carbs with mine but saw that I was still losin so I just don't give it a second thought. It was either vomiting everyday or taking in a little more cals and carbs...ill take the cals and carbs anyday:-) highest weight 224#<br />sx weight 213# (11/20/12)<br />current weight 157#(5/25)

  10. On how much of each ingredient is pretty much up to u so I don't have an exact for each. Orange roughy (fish) Crab meat Shrimp Avocados Cucumbers Red onion Cilantro Limes(some ppl use less lime juice) Olive oil(optional) I cut the Orange roughy and crab meat into small pieces and place in a bowl. I add lime juice of about 15-20 limes to fish and crab meat. Cover and set in fridge for about 2-3 hrs. Stir every once in a while. Then I boil shrimp with a little salt. I cut cucumbers, onion, and avocados into small pieces. Then add it all together to fish and crab meat. Then add salt and cilantro ti taste. Olive oil 1-2tbsp just depends if u want to add. Then cover the bowl and set in fridge for at least 1-2hrs. Mix it around a couple of times. The longer it all sits mixed the better it tastes! I luv to make it and serve it next day but that's us! highest weight 224#<br />sx weight 212# (11/20/12)<br />current weight 158#(5/14)
  11. I have a recipe that is a little different...its called ceviche. If u want the recipe let me know!

  21. This is a great article! My carb intake is on average 70g and under. My nutritionist said that's not enough. She wants me to consume 90-120g a day. I've tried but can't seem to do it. There r even days that I go as low as 20g. highest weight 224#<br />sx weight 212# (11/20/12)<br />current weight 161#(5/2)
