Usual day is Protein shake in morning (EAS carb advantage 110 calories); string cheese light (50 calories) around 11 - light carb master yogurt at 1:00 (60 calories); another string cheese at 2 or 3:00 (50 calories); another Protein shake at 4 or so (110 calories); lien cuisine or equivalent for dinner (270-300 calories); snack at night varies - around 100 calories. I drink Vitamin 0 Water (0 calories) or crystal light (5-10 calories) throughout the day as well. I'm vegetarian. I have a cheat day about every 7-8 days where i'll go to 1200 calories or something - will have an ice cream or candy bar or something sweet.

Thanks! It's helpful to see amounts and sample menus! Again, congratulations!

Skin,could be worse but saving for plastic surgery now

in addition to diet what else did you do that assisted in your success?

did you have an exercise plan? if so what did it consist of?

[Allison0927 329]

Exercised very little although worlds more active on a daily basis ... Stairs instead of elevator, parking further away etc.

How long have you been at restriction? I see you had 7 fills. Do you think its restriction that really helped or will-power? Cause I am really fighting with wheel power right now. I thought I was in the "green zone" but these past two weeks, I could eat a house if I didn't cut myself off.

[Allison0927 329]

I got slight unfull last week and am goin back tomorrow because suddenly I could eat a house and its scaring me iprobably rely toi much on the restriction

Thank you Allison for sharing your story and tips. I get inspired when I hear good news about others having success because I have tried it all. But the stories and pictures I see of others success fills me with hope. So continue to share it helps us all!

thats great!! We have similar starting weights... so, wow, i would love to be as successful as you! so you only counted calories? my dr is putting me on a 20-30 fat, 30-50 carbs, 70 Protein diet. i actually started doing that about a month ago and now i'm on 2 weeks of pre-op liquids only.

do you have before and after pics? i'm always so inspired by those!

again, congrats!!
