I'm already jealous of you Americans with your Premier Protein, now I have to envy your Club Pilates too? Waaaaaaa

I’m so inspired by everyone’s pix. I’ve lost about 2/3rds of my excess weight but I still have a ways to go but you guys make me believe I can do it!!!

Ladeez, I’m going out sans thigh-rub protecting bike shorts under my skirt. First time in forever. I shall report back!

I’m a band to mini-gastric bypass and it was the BEST decision I ever made. I had trouble with my band from the get-go. It sprung a leak early on so I never got restriction and spent the first nine months of my honeymoon wondering why I could still eat a full steak and everyone else was complaining about being full after a teaspoon of tuna. Had it fixed but it never really worked. Either too tight or too loose and when I moved O/Ṣ I just gave up and ate around it. I used to feel embarrassed to tell people I’d had a Lapband years ago and yet here I was north of 140 kilos.

I’m about ten months out from my revision, surgery went brilliantly. My surgeon did a single operation to remove the band and give me my bypass but he had to make my stomach pouch larger b/c of Lapband scarring. I don’t mind b/c I’ve slowly lost 2/3rds of my excess weight, am just about to hit Onderland and I feel bloomin’ brilliant. Even if I never lost another kilo I love my life so much more now.

Ok, I'd post a picture of this, but it's boring. LOL. I LOVE this cup of Protein latte!!! LOVE it--am I YELLING? Cuz it feels like I am!
So it's super simple:
1 cup of decaff (make sure it's DECAFF!!)
2oz Protein Drink (made up into a shake)--any flavor but this one is chocolate RTD Premier Protein, but there are other RTD whey isolate drinks out there--just look at GNC or Vitamin Shoppe or Walmart/Costco/Sam's, etc.
Ground Cinnamon
Liquid Chocolate Flavored Stevia (to taste--optional)
Sprinkle cinnamon into cup. Pour in your 2 ounces of shake. Top with hot coffee. Add a few drops of liquid stevia (if desired) and enjoy!
You can drink on these all morning to get your protein in! And it keeps you from gnawing your arm off to escape the hunger trap!

I feel So greatful...So healthy...So blessed!!
And still Focused!
I came to share my pictures so far..to all on the same struggle.
From 298 to 187..and still working on it

Thx. I live in rural Ireland so my class options are limited 😥 I was wondering specifically about swimming workouts coz we do have a gym with a pool (which I just joined).

@Deedee12 ooohhh wowweeee

@GreenTealael CHICKEN!! And a gorgeous upside down you!

I agree with @FluffyChix - it wasn't something I realised would happen but gradually I began to get my active just because i wanted to be. I always used to push myself to do things like try and exercise or do housework but after having lost a shittonne* of weight I accidently discovered I like doing stuff more. I even run up and down the stairs without meaning to. Seriously I find myself doing it without realising it. I've got places to BE, peoplez.
