You look great girl!

Maybe it is Laughing Cow lite. I'm headed to the local Wally World and will let you know!

Rhyzell,
How is Skinny Cow? I have heard several other forum members mention it . Is that the one that comes in tiny wedges? and do they have different flavors ? any recommendations ?
Thanks
RJ

Who would have thought this former couch potatoe would have ran 2 miles this morning????

Myfitnesspal has saved me
Add me DLBanks

Sooooooo. I did get an answer to my salad, bread, and fruit issue . My Surgeon, who is awesome and i totally respect gave me this concise
and simple response to my query " Stop it ".... Needless to say he has a dry sense of humor .
he explained that its just the normal noises of the body adjusting to the new plumbing. I need to wait several weeks and try introducing it into the rotation again. Apparently every one has there own issues but they all work back into your diet eventually.
Oh, and im officially down 103 Lbs ... this is a very good day!

I just got the call from the hospital and insurance approved my rny surgery! I go Monday to see the surgeon and officially set the date, but we are looking at August 28th for the surgery date!
I can't wait!

Today I was able to eat one turkey sausage, Yayyyy..

Almost 46 lbs gone! In 7 weeks I'm feeling better everyday. I love this place with you all. It is so helpful! Even with the up and down days we all have. I'm thankful today is a good day. Feeling blessed!

At the Surgeons office this early AM visit. hoping to get cleared for full blown exercise and find out why salad is no longer my friend....i want some answers! :-) ..... have a grwat day everyone.

My weight loss has still been sluggish. I've lost 1 lb. in 2 weeks, BUT I measured my waist today and it's 1 1/2 inches smaller than it was only 7 days ago! Yay!

Update .... Work is going well with my eating. My principal had the sleeve done 2 weeks before me and we are good friends so it is nice to have someone in the building working through a similar process. Everyone in the bldg keeps calling us "skinny Minnie" the fist day back my assistant kept making me stop mid sentence and telling me " your going to have to start over because I can't even focus on anything except how great you look!" Awesome compliment !
ALSO for the first time since surgery I was able to hit my Protein goal of 80 grams yesterday! It made a huge difference in how I felt AND lost 3lbs over night
surgery date 6/11/13 HW: 364lbs. SW: 335.5 CW: 299 GW: 150

I will not be posting this month as the person that was supposed to contact me, did not.
I however didn't want any of you to think I wasn't following my own rules about the program by not posting a "thank you".

I love my fitbit flex

I use MyFitnesspal for calorie / Protein tracking and Runkeeper for my exercise route tracking. You can also add an exercise to MPF and it changes your left over expendable calories accordingly. I'm very satisfied.

I am running up and down the stairs at work now. I use to dread when the door rang and wait to see if someone else in the office was going. Now I'm the first one up to take another turn on the stairs.
It's Paying off Sunday I fit comfortably in my seat at church. I can remember when that was true before. Felt great!

Ran into a friend today in town who i see every couple of months and have have know for 25 years or more. today he told me with a big smile and a very happy and sincere tone " this the healthiest and thinest ive seen you in 15 years. you look great , keep up the ggod work" im very happy with myself tonight......still cant eat salad or watermelon but commemts like this make it all worth the effort
why did i wait so long .....doh!
