4 month surgeversary today, down 77.5 lbs from my highest weight in this journey. Woot!

One of my colleagues complimented my progress and said I looked like a teenager! Considering I teach in a high school, that was high praise!

Falafel chips, cheese and some guacamole....delish!

Size 12 jeans. Really weird. But good!

Now, a full week early?!?! Womp!

Hugs, me too. Hope it passes soon.

Struggling. Not sure why. Maybe freaking out a bit? I have a great therapist who helps me a lot so that's a blessing. Have you all noticed how sometimes the changes in your bodies seem to happen overnight? I'm more than 25 lbs lighter than i have ever been in my adult life, and I think that the latest changes are what's wigging me out. I've never seen this girl. More and more people are making comments (very positive comments). Yet I'm the same girl inside. Anyway, thanks for the vent room.

Stop and Shop!

New favorite drink: Ocean Spray Diet Cran-Lemonade. Delicious! Good with or without unflavored protein!

Hi Junies, I'm struggling and I need to verbalize, lol! Anyone else having trouble wrapping their head around the fact that they have more to lose -- that they aren't done yet? I've lost 71 lbs and have reached uncharted territory about 20 lbs ago. In other words I've never been this weight in my adult life. I still have 50 more lbs to lose till my goal, and it's really hard to believe that I will keep losing. The scale has only moved 4 lbs in 3 weeks and I'm afraid my mental attitude is causing the slowdown. Also I have been slacking on the exercise. I went to they gym this week after a 3 week absence and discovered that the workout I was doing is way too easy for me now. I mean, I barely broke a sweat. How does this happen so fast? So the next day I amped it up and lo and behold the scale started moving again. Sometimes I just sit in awe of what is happening to my body. It's wild and scary sometimes! Thanks for listening. <3

Yep, I'm right there, super stuffed if I eat much more.

Smoothie made with plain kiefer and frozen strawberries. Nice to get some fruit in tho.

Worst period ever 3 months to the day of surgery. I had it right after I got home from surgery, then 2 weeks later, then nothing till yesterday. Ouchie.

Had my 3 mo checkup the other day. Doc said I was right on track, 70 lbs off since I started the journey! Woot. Unfortunately I also have the WORST period of my life (sorry tmi guys). I've been off since surgery and this one came 2 weeks late. Worst headaches, cramps, horrible. Womp, womp!

Me too. I've been using Califas iced coffee almond milk with plain or vanilla unjury. Delicious in the AM

Just had 1/4 of my favorite bagel, multiseeded, toasted till burnt with a little olive oil, salt, pepper and a babybel cheese for lunch. Omg. First bagel in over 3 months and pouchy seems ok with it. Taste buds loved it!
