Never underestimate the power of tracking! It helps keep calorie/carb creep away.Started tracking my food on MFP again and realized I caused my own stall. I went back to basics and have dropped 3 lbs in 2 days!

Had my first puréed food today - refried beans have never tasted so good! Got in less than half of my 1/4 cup serving...knew when to stop!

Day 6 of pre-op very hard not eating but I'm being strong. They had a pizza party at my job today it was so hard not to eat pizza which is one of my fave foods. Surgery March 13th Doctor appointment tomorrow

Logging all my food and hitting Crossfit every day this week. I hate putting in effort and seeing scale not move. Plateaus suck #whine

completed her food and exercise diary for 04/23/2012 and was under her calorie goal #myfitnesspal

Today we start a weight loss contest at work for 1 month. I only lost 1 lbs this past month, so really need something to push me. Winner gets $200, that some good shopping money! Back to logging my food and hitting the gym for sure!

Hey Sister Sleeve! How are things going with you? I had two periods of no weight loss and wow - it was tough getting past those points. I'm down 49.8 and feeling so much better but there are a few little changes in the past month. I get hungry - really after 3 hours and no food. And - my stomach growls - which didn't happen at all the first two months. Oh well - I never think about my weight like I used to - I know it will come off and just keep doing what I'm doing. Love you kiddo - Reb

I'm so glad I'm feeling better today!! Yesterday, I felt like I was on a neverending rollercoaster ride!! No food or liquids, nothing but dizziness and heaving!!! Thank You Lord,it's almost over!

Struggling with food and focus this week.. trying to really stick to just 3 meals.. sometime snacking for me turns into grazing.. and i struggle bad..

Since my surgery date is getting closer and my preop diet is looming ahead, I find myself having lil food funerals. Whenever I eat something oh so yummy, I know that it's going to be the last time I taste that in a very long, long time. Possibly forever because some ppl come out of this surgery with certain food aversions that they didn't have before. I hope I come out hating sugar and bread because those are my biggest weaknesses. This week is my last week to eat all the stuff I usually do....

Starting freak out. Hospital called, went over everything n surgery will last 3 - 4 hrs. Friday I will find out the time of surgery. Pure liquids only on Monday, great more weight loss

Will I ever eat again? Or is my friend in food gone forever....

Just had another "stuck" episode... Man this last fill has me all messed up and I am freaking out cause I dont want to end up hurting myself... Back to mushier foods for a day or so

I think I've traded my food addiction for shopping addiction. I can't believe how much I love shopping now that I'm no longer in plus sized clothes.

man i waste A LOT of food!

on vacation in Japan.. i have a feeling that this week will not be a 'losing' week! but i'm having fun and eating the best foods on earth!!! just not very much of them!!!

Post-surgery, doing great, walking around, doing fine with clear liquids and will go to soft foods in the am!

I am so struggling with eating! I thought the mushies would help but everything tastes yuk! I'm sick of protein drinks. They either give me the runs or make my stomach turn. The mushies almost immediately give me the runs. I long for some "normal" food. Nothing fancy, but just "real." Anyone go through this?!

I tried some pureed wendy's chili today no go. But I had some tuna with light mayo and it was great!! Now I can add one more thing to my list....LOL That makes 3

Almost ready for the trip to New England Historic Genealogical Society for their "Come Home" event. I just have a 12 hour work day tomorrow and then packing and will be hitting the road. I already have cut up a few veggies to take with me to eat on the road so I won't be tempted to stop at fast food places. That's a first for me!

My sleevie is reminding me she only likes healthy foods now! Ugghhh... so its Atkins shakes all day and baked chicken and broccoli for dinner. Mmmm looking forward to it!!!
