HW 272 SW (11/30/12) 268 Today 165.8 Dr's Goal 150 Personal Goal 130

Hi everyone! Sometimes it takes looking at side by side photos to really make it sink in. I'm still losing but it has drastically slowed down so instead of getting down on myself I made a quick side by side photo to finally see the difference. The first one is the morning of my surgery, the second was taken last week. I'm down over 100lbs with 16 more to go to my Dr's goal and 36 to my personal goal. Thanks for being an amazingly supportive community to be a part of! [ATTACH]4134[/ATTACH]

If you're having problems keeping your food warm try putting your plate on one of those coffee cup warmers... I picked a couple up at Bed Bath and Beyond for about $5 each and they are a lifesaver

I make my "pizza" with only cheese and toppings.... you use a nonstick pan, put a layer shredded mozzarella in it, once it gets nice and bubbly add your toppings and a little parmesan. Check the bottom because it will crisp up then remove to a plate for about a min. Then I dip it in a little low sugar marinara sauce... delicious!!! I usually cut it in 4's but can only eat about a slice.

Don't worry about your calories right now, just your protein amounts and water intake... I really struggled with the flavor after surgery and ended up trying about 10 different brands until I found one I loved...

Awesome! Are you home yet? Just take it easy and sip your water

How was your surgery?

I used to LOVE Cherry Berry Chillers so I just checked their website for nutrition facts... the small one is 200 calories, 49g sugar and 49 carbs... for me that's no go

Checkout Emilybites.com she does a lot of weight loss friendly recipes and main dish 'cupcakes' that rock

Try soy milk... that along with Isopure Vanilla are my favorites... their premixed stuff is beyond nasty... if you're a coffee drinker try adding decaf instant crystals and some sugar free syrups... its amazing

My pack rat ways with clothes are paying off I'm wearing the shirt I had on the night my husband and I got engaged 5 years ago! Whenever I see pictures from that night I've always thought it was the last time I looked skinny in photos. The best part... its actually a little big now
