Keep up the great work! Awesome job!

You were cute before, but you look like a totally different person! Awesome job! You look great!

Thanks everyone for the kind words! Little bit about my routine - I won't lie - I treat myself every now and then, but I always stay on track. I eat mostly nuts, tuna, and lettuce. Some veggies and some fruit. Love peanut butter and almond butter. I still do protein shakes. I do watch my carbs and portions a lot. I do also think it's important to treat yourself every now and then. I do it about once every two weeks - like frozen yogurt or sushi & I never really go off track. There's some truth to eating breakfast like a King, lunch like a prince & eat dinner like a beggar. I also constantly push fluids - I probably get anywhere to 100-120oz/day. I exercise about 3-7 times a week - I left little weights (8-16) pounds I run/walk/skip about 20 miles a week. (Give or take a few) Push ups, sit ups, wall sits, squats I've tried insanity too. I'm still not where I want to be, but I'm getting there! My doctor's expected loss for me was to 205 I surpassed that.

I'm almost a year out - Protein shakes to this day are my most filling staple. Tuna Yogurt Fruit Lettuce Seafood- fish, oysters, shrimp, crab. Also all work too - but NOTHING gets me like a Protein shake. Sits in me like a brick.

Thank you, everyone! Y'all are too kind! My surgery was 2.28.13 - My skin has done well for the most part. TMI but my breast seem to have deflated but they needed work before surgery so fret not. Toning exercises are really important, no one could stress that to me enough!

So do you! Congratulations!!

I paid 18$ and some change. You can round it to roughly 20$ for a case which comes with 12. One of the best tasting ones honestly. I bought mine from Sam's. Also, Myoplex EAS carb control (strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla) are pretty good too. Also sold at Sam's. I paid maybe 8 dollars more and got 30 to a case. I've never been to CostCo though.

Not where I want to be, but I'm better than three years ago. Left-2010 Right: this past Saturday Oct. 2013

I always remember that 3oz is roughly around the size of the palm of my hand. Helps all the time!

You look fab!

Congratulations! Welcome to the loser's side! Glad your surgery went well!

Yep, I'm 5 pounds shy of a 100 pound loss & I'm still wearing pre-surgery clothes. They are much looser now and before surgery I really truly probably needed to go up a size. I can fit in smaller sizes too but still wear my old clothes.
