Inspirational pics! You look amazing and I bet you feel it too! Your daughter is so cute and now you're going to have the energy to really engage with her. Amazing work! Thank you! I do feel amazing! (As long as I get all my Protein in, man can I feel it if I dont) I've been killing it at the gym lately. It is starting to feel good going, vs painful. Slowly but surely.

Thank you these were her 2 year old photos.

So since my gym membership, I've only missed 2 days out of 6 days. Lol the weekend was killer. I fell off the wagon this week with my friend visiting. Gained 3.8 pounds! And I feel like crap! Tired. My face is breaking out. I mean wow. But my friend left and I'm back on it. I meet with a personal trainer today (came with my gym membership) to see where I need to be as far as goals and working out goes.

You can do it! Get in the gym! It becomes routine after a few days!

I actually joined a gym today too! Lol. And because I have to pay for it, I will go!! I went today and it was amazing. I forgot how much I missed going. (Haven't been in almost a year) I'm hoping this gets me off my stall.

I'm right at 3 months and is starting for me. I'm adding a hair skin and nails. And vitamin e oil helps too ive read.

Good job!! My 3 month post op is next week! I'm so anxious for it. Idk why. My dr is strict! Lol but he is the best in the area My highest weight and starting weight was 276 I'm at 215 today!

I had a great Christmas and new years! Hubs bought me a fit bit and a ninja blender/food processor and new pots and pans. He says I need new healthy cooking stuff for the new healthier me. so glad to have his support! So far I've done ok over the holidays. I would have bites of stuff here and there of everything.. cookies, ect. But only a tiny bite and I was completely satisfied. I stuck to mainly veggies and protein though of course. Started coffee again (about half a cup to a cup a day) as long as I get all my protein in the pounds come off and I feel great. It's crazy how different I can feel my body is. Never noticed fatigue or fullness before. Now I can. I'm down to 218 this morning! Started at 276 Oct 14. So excited. My next apt is Jan 14. But we lost insurance/switching it. So I have to figure all that out this week with getting blood work and my apt. Blah. Hope everyone else is still doing well!

That's so odd. I drink unsweet tea... I drink tons of water. (Well my require amount) And that's what I was thinking... still enjoy it. It's just coffee. I haven't tried it yet. I have unflavored protein though lol

Exactly! I miss the cold! I've been drinking half cups of hot chocolate with water... but I mean, that's probably not any better. Why is it we can't have coffee yet? I can Jan 14. At 3 months out but idk. I plan to have some on christmas morning. I seriously can't do christmas without it. Esp this year. My mom and grandma and I would all drink coffee watching me and my sister/kids open ptrsents. Even as a kid, my mom would pour me coffee on christmas morning. And this is my first year without both my mom and grandmother here with us. So I plan on having a little.

Update! I hit 50 pounds loss today! And went down a Complete pant size. Probably 2, but I have found that I wearing too small of clothes before. And now those same clothes fit me a lot better. I have an entire trash bag full of jeans that looks horrible on me.. way too baggy. I have never been more excited in my life. I've been doing excellent with fluids and protein and all this christmas shopping and christmas activities have me walking. I eat pretty much everything, minus a few things. I switched from rice to cauliflower rice and use zuchinni noodles instead of pasta, stuff like that. Lettuce wraps instead of buns. And turkey instead of beef. But I still eat beef, turkey and chicken. Some pork (no bacon..hated it anyways) and I'll have nibbles here and there. My biggest problem is pretzels. I eat a couple to curve my salty crunchy craving. Sweets. Blah. Don't want them really. I just miss my coffee. So I'm looking forward to that. My first post op apt is Jan 14. Hopefully I'll be 26 pounds lighter by then. I want to be 199.9 when I go!
