I would like to start posting more on the food I eat now at 9 months out. This is what I had yesterday:
5:10am 1/2 banana and 1 tablespoon Peanut Butter
6:30am coffee with Splenda and fair life milk (this is the reason I couldn't keep dr Weiner diet) I really need my coffee and it needs to be with Splenda and milk.
9:00 3 egg whites with turkey sausage, veggies, and cheese
11:30am premier chocolate Protein shake and 1 cup of veggies
2:00pm coffee again and nuts
5:30pm 1 cup of fage Greek yogurt 0% with a crystal light packet.
7:00pm watermelon and some more nuts
I haven't been tracking my food in my fitness pal! I guess I need to. My weight is still at 169-170. I bumped up my exercise a lot more this past week and have every intention on keeping up with exercise. What I found out that is much easier if I do the exercise in the morning - get it out if the way as early as possible .
So far within the past 8 days I have done 4 boot camp classes and one Zumba and walked on the treadmill 2 times for 45min. I hope I start seeing the scale move, however I will be happy as long as I feel good and see that my clothes fit better!
Hope everyone have a great day!

This is where we do the boot camp and sumba classes, ohh and did I mention that it doesn't have any AC!!

No one is more surprised than me! I did my first 5k yesterday and I lived to tell! Lol
I was intimidated when I first arrived but I was in a group and it was wonderful!
Dare I say I want to do it again and not just run/ walk like I did this time but maybe actually running the entire course ????

Hi Stacy,
I am just over half way there and I use my before and after pics to keep me motivated, especially when I am in a stall ... I am real slow loser but I am losing...
Here goes, hopes this helps...

this was the day I went in to hospital 2nd July 2010

this was the end of June 10

last week

side view!!

this is this week at 32 weeks post op, my most recent pic
Like I said, I still have a fair bit to go, but when I look back and am pleased with the progress so far... I look forward to sharing goal pics!!

Today I got a new badge from work and wow what a difference from last year picture. This just motivates me more to keep on working my sleeve and focus on eating healthy!!

For sure it helped that my daughter signed up for the class cause I know if she wasn't going with me there was no way I would have got up at 5am to do exercise. It's a plus to get an exercise buddy for sure!

Dr's appt went great. I've lost 71% of my excess weight. I'm right on target. He wants me to lose 13lbs and be at 160. I want to be at 150. So we will see what happens.
This is me today.

We made it thru boot camp! But holy cow it was really hard!! I set my alarm at 5am and it was hard to get up but I'm really glad we did it.
I liked the instructor it's more like a mini personal trainer since the group is really small. I'm going to Zumba tomorrow afternoon and then Thursday boot camp.

Great job. We are so close with our ages and starting weight also in height. I'm 40 HW 260 Sw 246 Cw 214 I'm almost 3 months out

Last week was the week from hell! I ate everything that wasn't nailed down. Gained 3 lbs. Yesterday I did well until I had a custard from Rita's. Didn't gain or lose today I've done much better. I'm determined to stay on plan today. Hoping to see a loss tomorrow. I have my 8 month follow up w the dr on Thursday also with the NUT. That ought to be fun. I guess I can't complain it's been all me. I'm 25 pound from goal and want to get there by my 41st bday in July. Hope you are doing much better.

HI THERE! I was just thinking about you. The veggies look wondeeful. I've been so so busy with trying to manage 2 homes. We settled on our new one on the 31st of march. We've been packing and moving things for 2 weeks. Since its 4 hours away from where we currently live it's a heck of a trip. We just listed our other home for sale yesterday and pray for a quick sale. The scale has been up and down for me between 177 and 174 yesterday. I'm hoping to get some exercise in here soon. It's been so hectic I haven't worked out in months. Glad to hear you are doing well.

Glad to hear you are doing well. Good luck with your appt. I dot follow the rules so that's why I'm slow losing, I know it. Once we get this whole house business done, I'm busting butt to get back in control.

Hi lorri, I been good I been stuck at 173 and 174 lbs. eating healthy for the most part. Although some days I do eat stuff I shouldnt probably my progress would have been better. But the way I see it is I have to eat to learn the way I could do it for life and not gain the weight. I have a follow up appt this coming Monday and I will show the nutritionist what I been eating and see what she says or suggest. Glad to hear your scale is moving also.

Hello everyone! I am at 201 - almost to onderland and loving the journey. Loosing at about 1.5 to 3# a week.
I have slacked off on my Water, so I need to tighten up on that. Otherwise going pretty well

Super excited I tried a medium size blouse and a size 12 skirt and they fit!!

I've made it to 181 now shooting for the 70's again lol

I have been stuck at 142.6 for almost 2 weeks now. I need to start exercising but with 2 jobs its hard. I have been cheating everynight with a bowl of layes chips. Now i know they dont bother my sleeve so i can eat them and i do. I think exercise is the key for me at thus time. I will let you all know how that goes.

Lorri716 this was happening to me in the month of January and February, I would lose 2 pounds then gain them back. It could be very frustrating, however just keep doing what has worked for you and you will start seeing the weight to go down. Like I mention before, I feel like the 180's was the hardest to lose.

I've been so busy the past few weeks, trying to get my house ready to be on the market and purchasing a new home already that I've completely lost track of me and my journey. I haven't been able to exercise in about 2 months...which I hate because I love to exercise. My eating for the last 4 days has been terrible and I've gained 2 pounds. I am so disappointed with myself. I know that I will get to goal and I'm only 6 months out, and once I'm on the market with the house and settlement is done at the end of this month things will calm down. I vow to stay away from carbs and sugars starting right now.

I'm back to the basics of a shake for Breakfast and lunch yogurt or nuts for snack and a normal dinner. Down to 184 today.

@@lorri716 - life happens...
I am 10 months 2 days post and trying to break into the 170s since before Christmas...
You (and I) both know what we need to do, so stay on track fellow BPer... we got this!

Hello
It's really hard to eat the stuff we should not be eating and it seems to go down much easier than the good stuff or maybe that's just me .
