I went and changed my screen saver to this picture to remind myself I don't want to go back to my old jeans size ???????? I know tomorrow will be a better day????

Today was not a good day for me, anxiety kicked in haven't had the need of grazing until today. I made some bad food choices and it kind of scare me because it was the same feeling I had before my surgery. The need of wanting to eat something without being hungry. I kept going back to eating pumpkin seeds, dried fruit (mango and cranberries) more nuts and some of the left over movie popcorn (it happened after work).. I went and threw away the popcorn, I know for sure I don't want to go back to my old habits.

@@lorri716 what do you attribute your weight loss improvement? it looks like your results are amazing this past two weeks. Did you did any changes to your diet or exercise? I'm really happy for you girl, keep it up!

@@lorri716 wow you are doing really good! I weighed myself yesterday and I was 185 lbs. we went to movies yesterday and was really hard not to eat the popcorn, I had about one handful.

I eat the Fage Greek yogurt 0% total, by itself it doesn't taste that good, but I add crystal light fruit punch and I love it. Some other people told me to add torani sugar free syrup or jello of course sugar free. This yogurt is high in protein and low carbs

@lorri726 hi lorri just checking to see how are you doing? I been feeling good the other day I weighed myself and was at 186 lbs. I think it is helping that I'm eating less nuts throughout the day.

I haven't tried the torani sf syrups yet, what flavor have you tried with yogurt? Never thought about the sf jello I need to try it!

I take two tablespoons of ground flaxseed at night with 8-10 oz Water (at first I started with 4oz water). It was approved by my doctor at my 8 weeks post op. That made a big difference no problems going to the bathroom at all. I used to take it in the morning but know I changed it to the night which works better for me.

When did you had your surgery?

Great tip* as I mention before I changed the Greek yogurt I was eating, I now eat Fage total 0% Greek yogurt and honestly it doesn't taste that great, however today while I was drinking my Crystal light drink I started thinking what about if I add some of the crystal light powder to the yogurt to make it sweet. I have the fruit punch crystal light and oh my I was in heaven I absolutely love it!! This will be my dessert from now on. The nutrition facts on this Greek yogurt are awesome!! That one cup serving could be for my mid snack and afternoon snack, just that 1 cup will be 23 grams of protein????

I'm in Texas we hardly ever get snow, oh but how I miss it sometimes well not really ???? today is like 56 and just two days ago was in the 30's we have crazy weather over here.

That's great to hear the scale is moving. I just finished walking one hour on the treadmill it's really cold outside to go around the neighborhood for my 3 mile walk.

Well just wanted to give a quick update I'm up 2lbs from last time I weight on 1/10 - today I'm 189 lbs little disappointed, but I just think I need to change things since my weight is been stuck for couple of weeks. I will keep up with my 3 mile walks every day, however I will start doing 40 min workout during my lunch hour at work. I believe tomorrow is spinning will see how it goes. My eating have been good, I put in all the protein needed between 70-90 grams, water between 70-80 oz however I do see carbs have increase to 60-70 grams, but they are usually from beans, vegetables , yogurt and flaxseed. I'm going to stop eating beans at least for a while cause I been eating them with every meal, I used to have 1/4 cup per meal but now is closer to 1/2 cup. I also changed the yogurt which now has more carbs I should have never tried those in the first place cause now I want them, but they are the yoplait whips 100 calorie ones. I'm going back to chobani 100 calories or I'm going to look for the fage Greek yogurt. Other thing is the nuts of course those are my weakness but I will stop completely eating them since I cannot control the portion that I'm eating. I just know this is stopping the weight loss. Well on the bright side: I did not took measurements when I started my journey with the exception of my waist.... Well when I started my journey I had a HUGE waist of 52in and as of today is 36!!! that just makes my day ????????????

It's very important to know what type of follow up you will have after you have your sleeve surgery. Find out what kind of support they have. Make sure you take all your vitamins as instructed and one that has been very important to me is don't compare your loss with no one else. If you do, you could set up yourself for disappointment. Remember this is a lifetime change and learn what works best for your body during your honeymoon weight loss period. Good luck!

I absolutely love jicama!! I eat it as a snack in the evening with cucumbers, green apple, lime a Mexican fruit chili powder. It fills me up and love the crunchy feeling. I need to try the green tea with tumeric and lime. I was reading the other day about the benefits of tumeric.

Good morning I'm doing good.. I'm drinking my cup of coffee it's really good ???????? don't beat up yourself on eating those pieces of bread just remember to go back on making good choices. It's really hard to stick every single time on eating right. I started eating more fruits. I had some clementines, strawberries, and apples this last week. I been staying away from the fruit cause I love fruit and I know they are good however they have a lot of sugar. So I been staying away from my favorite fruit like mangoes, watermelon, pineapples. I'm not a big bread eater so I don't have an issue with sweet stuff. I also started eating a protein bar, I like the quest bars - I bought the strawberry cheesecake and raspberry with white chocolate. Both are good and they do fill me up. Enjoy your time visiting your family!

You look fabulous. Congrats on the loss. I'm down 64 from my highest of 260. I'm in a 14 also from an 18-20. Hard to believe! You look amazing also and yes I agree is hard to believe!

Oh my time goes by so fast! 5 months ago I had my sleeve surgery 8/10/2015 and I don't regret it one bit. It's been the best thing I have done for me. It's a commitment and I knew since I had my surgery that the sleeve was only a tool and I have to put my effort to make it work. Weigh in today is 187 lbs and wearing a size14 in jeans and size large blouse compared to size 20-22 in pants and 2xl blouses. I've lost a total of 66 lbs so far! I have another 37 lbs and if it takes another 5 to 7 months to get there I will be ok.

Well I'm happy to say that I notice that my hair loss has diminished. I still have some hair loss, but nothing compared to previous months. I will keep taking the Biotin and Silica pills. Also, my nails are stronger than ever. I had a very pretty manicure on New Years Day - first time every getting my nails colored red!!. I love them! HAPPY FRIDAY!

Good morning @@lorri716 that is great that you are seeing the scale move, good job. I haven't weighed myself this past 4 days. My little boy took the scale to his room and I don't want to weigh myself after I'm dressed cause the weight will be more and don't want to disappoint myself Job has been good, it's nice to get back to my routine, however I missed not being at home. It was nice to go to sleep later and not waking up to early. My exercise - well I been keeping up with the walking every night, 50 min - 1 hr walk with my husband and the dog and they walk really fast so it's good. I'm lucky to have a husband that likes to be active he is the one that motivates me. I really need to start doing more, I enjoy the Taebo videos just have to get committed to do them at least 3 times a week. My older son is back in College Station and my daughter is getting ready to start her college classes in another week. I'm happy to hear your doing great on your weight loss! Have a good day and hope your mom is good.

While I'm getting ready in the morning I get a glass of Water and drink it. This is every day and I get 12-15 oz of water extra by doing this. At the beginning I only had the water, now that I'm almost 5 months I add a tablespoon of chia seeds and 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed (this helps with any constipation) plus I get the Omega. But my point is to drink water as soon as you wake up and it will become a habit.

I went back to work today after 2 week vacation and it went well. Last two weeks I haven't tracked my food intake in my fitness pal and today I went and logged the info and let me tell you how important it is to log!! I went and logged everything after lunch today and I already had 798 calories which I thought I had consumed a lot less calories. I was very surprised????????. I could easily see how much in trouble I could get if I don't track my food in the fitness pal app. I had a light dinner in order to stay in my calorie range.

You should try the chocolate one is really good and I'm not a chocolate person but the taste is really good.
