My evaluator, needed psych care herself! Don't sweat it I'm sure you did fine.

My mother, whose always been pretty thin. She compliments me on my weight loss and then tells me about any weight she has lost and that she's fitting into a size eight. Now granted she's seventy four and it's good that she's an eight,but..

At thirteen months out I'm eating 1,100 calories. At 3 weeks out I was just starting soft foods and eating around 700 calories.

. Had issues uploading pictures, so to clarify. The picture at Santa's village is the before????

.jpg] The second picture is before at 272 pounds. The last two are afters at 175 pounds. I have twenty to go.

Running2the sleeve if you do not want replies don't post. It appears that you are being contentious on purpose.

I too missed salads early on. They will come,

175 again.

I walk almost every day 5-6 times a week, between 30 and 40 minutes a day. I know I should do resistance training ,but not sure where to start.

I've told most every one I know and other than a few people have gotten positive feed back. I did get some family members who were worried that I wouldn't be able to enjoy eating with family again at Thanksgiving or at reunions. They were wrong.

To put things in perspective, 60 grams of carbs is two or three apples or an English muffin and an apple or around three containers of Greek yogurt. Not a lot of stuff.

Mine went from a 48DD to a 40D and as I have 20 more pounds I want to lose, will probably end up a 38 D. I wear a sports bra to bed and an underwire bra during the day as they are pretty floppy.

There is definitely restriction and while I don't regularly suffer from dumping syndrome, my stomach lets me know if I eat too many sweets or too much fat.

175 this morning

I am where I want to be. Although I sometimes think that I want to be a lottery winner????. That would be ok. Right?

Lot's of little meals? Not sure, by three months I was eating a half cup to three quarters of a cup of food. Now I eat about a cup of food at a time.

I've eaten at least 1,000 calories since about five months out.

Also told to eat at least 60 grams of protein.

I was always told to eat 1,000- to 1,200 calories a day,I average around 1,100 and no less than 60 grams of Carbs and no more than 120 to 140 grams of carbs. This has worked pretty well for me at 13 Months out I am at the goal that was set for me and twenty pounds from my goal. More importantly this feels like a plan I can follow for The Rest of my life.

Fantastic job!

I haven't given up a lot of what I was eating before. I just eat it in much Smaller portions and a lot less frequently. I still eat chili and corn occasionally.

I try to exercise at least five days a week, usually by walking. If I put it off my son reminds me as he's my walking buddy.

This sounds really good. I also use Spaghetti squash to get the feeling of eatIng pasta.

I'm from Vermont, in The United States, so I know that insurance and such is a little different, I had to have two Psych visits and six months of a controlled diet with a nutritionist,but after that I was ready to Go.
