OMG that looks like heaven!! I love me some sea food all the time However I think the shrimp might have made me swell some. I had puffy eyes this morning. But I'm not sure tho. I'll have to try shrimp again next week and see if it happens again. Oh and my almost 3 year old ate a whole zucchini boat to himself. That must mean something!!! lol

Dinner...this is amazing!!! Taco Stuffed Zucchini Boat

Shoot I missed the pic on here!! Beautiful!!!

YOU ROCK WOMAN!!! Lets see a pic!!!

The recipe is on skinnytaste.com. It's where I get a lot of my meals and on GG's blog!! I'm really loven trying new meals.

Mmm I need to learn how you made the coconut shrimp! Looks so good. I forgot to post but had tilapia with tortilla lime crust and steamed cauliflower. It was so much easier than I thought! The sauce is sooo yummy too. You know where I got my recipe lol same as always....And I so wanna try tilapia so bad mmmm might hafta fit it in somewhere soon!!

Dinner... Skinny Coconut Shrimp, Green salad with Balsamic Vinegar and oil dressing

That was so sweet! Love your story!!

This fit's in with me. For me at 32 I was put on birth control 2 months ago (after my anger post). I've been good ever since. But I find myself in space so to speak a lot. I know it's not exactly the same but it deals with hormones. Thought it could be on some same level....IDK

MMM stats 32, 5'6 Feb 13' HW 278 Surgery wt Aug 21st, 249 Current wt 179 Makes me 4 months post

Mistysj, That looks amazing!! I had baked broccoli with dinner tonight! I find baked tastes so much better to me now a days. Baked with olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper. Plus there a little crispy too! yumm

but i suspected controlling your diet is really where the success comes from. I havent started exercising yet because i get tired really easily, but i will start even if it's only five minutes at first. I'll keep in mind the low carbs too. I napped every day for the first 2 weeks and to be honest I napped daily before surgery. I never nap now!! I also started walking the day after I got home from the hospital around the cul-de-sack once then twice then to the mail box then farther each day I totally understand being tired. Low carbs are the key for sure for me for sure. At 4 months out I have 1000 cals and 50 carbs a day.

During the first 2 1/2 months I walked 2 miles 6 to 7 days a week. I haven't walked in a while and boy can I tell. I have some plans for this coming year!!

Great question!! For me I struggled with tracking on MFP for a minute. I was afraid when I ate something I knew I shouldn't I didn't want to see it face me. So yes I was afraid....in the beginning before my surgery. Now however I love tracking what I eat. I put the candy pieces I ate last night on there and couldn't quit staring at the damn page!! In disbelief in self disgust and much more. It was my first candy in 6 months and It did taste ok but I did not get the rush I used to when eating my sweets. Tonight however I have no desire to put anything in my mouth. For me was it was a decision I made and not one I'm proud of. I was very happy with myself I didn't touch candy or sweets on Halloween or any other time. I did fail myself and I felt it. But....I'm ok today. Kinda felt like a confession.. However I am not justifying my actions I know what I did. No slip here!! Just a weak moment for me after 6 months Thanks for the read and making me thing lady!

I'm 32, 5'6 HW in Feb 13' was 278 Surgery Wt in Aug 21st was 249 CW 179 Lost 60 pounds by 3 months, 70 pounds counting my pre op diet. Does that help any
