Hello Gang!! I have been MIA for a bit. I don't know, just been buisy, been a little lazy too when it comes to writing it all down I supppose!! :wub: Any ways.. Today is my 1 year Bandiversary!! Everything is great. It's been the best thing I have ever done for myself!! I still have a long way to go. I've lost around 107 lbs, I got bout 124 more to go. But I actually CAN see the light at the end of the tunnel!! My body has changed soo much. I can do so much. But one thing still is strange.. In my mind, I am still thinking I am going to eat like I used to. My husband just shakes his head at me. When we make our plate, he says, you know you aren't going to eat that.. But I still tend to make myself a Normal plate. I guess I am just so accustomed to those old ways. I guess that too will change. I don't know, I just think thats' odd still. I am at a plateau now for a while. I need to get exercising again and logging my food again daily. I tell you, sweets have really been a problem for me lately. I usually tend to be locarb, but whew!:drool: the cookies are killin me!!:w00t: Yes, I kno I am the one putting them in my mouth!! Well, I just wanted to share my big day.

I also use the protien shots from walmart they are like 3oz and have 26g protien. They cost $1.97 each, but one walmart in particular sells them for $0.50 a pc. for some reason so I go there and stock up and buy every one they have it's the body fortress brand I also buy my protien powder that brand too. Just thought I'd share.
