  1. Introduction

    · rlily · 05/13/16 08:16 AM

    So this is my first time doing anything like this. I will just start by introducing my self. I am a 32 year old, wife, and mother of 3 young children. I had surgery in March of 2014. To be honest I don't think that I was completely prepared for everything that went along with this weight-loss tool. I am pretty lazy and truly only worked out for the first year or so. My eating goes in spurts. I will do good for a while then have a couple months of not so good eating. I was around 298 when I began this journey, but that was not my highest weight. My highest was 320. I am currently 218. I have been this weight for about a year and the lowest I got to was 207. Don't get me wrong, I am comfortable at 220ish. But I do want to be healthier. I wish that I would have really found something I liked to do exercise wise in the begining. Instead of just walking. I would like to eventually be 160 to 180. More on the 180 side. I would really like one more child. I have PCOS and so it is hard for me to get pregnant. If I can lose more weight and become a little more healthy I could get pregnant easier. Also I am sure it would be easier to take care of another child, the healthier I am.
    I am just stuck. I have started to do a really strict eating plan again. Not a post-op, but close. I pretty much do one chocolate shake =30 grams of protein in the morning, then after noon I do a 2 scoop shake of Nectar, which =46 grams of protein. Then I eat what ever we have for dinner. With portion control in mind. Sometimes, if I am really hunger in the day I will eat a bowl of oatmeal. That is pretty much it. My water in take sucks. Like realllllly sucks. Usually on average I would guess I get 24 oz at best. Usually right before bed time. Weird time I know. However the last couple weeks I have tried to step it up and get more liquids in. I have been drinking unsweetened green tea. Sometimes I put sugar free syrup in it. This has helped the liquid intake to about 48 oz. As far as exercise, I really don't do much. And nothing consistency. I am coaching my daughters softball team right now so I am running and hitting and catching for about 5 hours a week and then coaching the games. This is awesome. I have forgot how much I loved softball. Man was I good at. I wish there was a competitive older team here where I live. That is something that I could get into and do all the time. Any hoo, this is basically it.
    The worst thing that I probably do is night eating. Like super mindless too. This is something I need to get a handle on.. For sure!
