January 24, 201313 yr I'm so happy, I hit 50 pounds down this week and got my first fill. Thought I'd share. It's been hard work but so worth every calorie counted and burned.

January 26, 201313 yr Congrats!!!!! You look marvelous!! In down 40lbs in 3 months. But I can't seem to really tell. My clothes always were 2 sizes too big and dumpy!! Lol. Other people have mentioned it but I can't see it yet!! Keep up the great work!!!
January 26, 201313 yr Author Please tell us what you did to lose 50lbs in such a short amount of time. Any tips... you look good honey!!! 1. I workout...start with smaller attainable goals. I started out by walking for 30 minutes 4 days a week. Then started a workout program with my xbox kinect (EA Sports Active 2), still four days a week with some alternating walking. Once I was cleared for abdominal exercises I decided to do a one month program five days a week with the UFC Fitness Trainer game, (I lost 2.75 inches in my waist during that 30 days ) NOW I am addicted and workout 6-7 days. I do insanity 4 days and Couch 2 5K two of the other days and on Sundays I either rest or do something fun like Dance Central. 2. I count my calories with My Fitness Pal...goalseeker32 if you wanna add me I didn't get a calorie goal from my dr or NUT so I go by what they tell me to eat to loose 2 lbs a week. Sometimes I am under that (especially now that I have gotten a fill) other days I eat all my exercise calories cause I'm hungry. I stick to the rules, Protein first, then veggies then carbs. 3. I only weigh once a week I do not like the ups and downs that come with daily weigh ins. It discourages and frustrates me. I would rather see 2 lbs at the end of the week than .3 for 7 days. 4. I don't deprive myself of anything I like homemade ranch dressing, and my creamer in my coffee so I use it but I count it. I allow myself small tastes of sweets when they are around because this is a lifestyle change not a diet. The diet mentality got me to needing this surgery so I have to break that thinking. 5. I take measurements monthly so I can see more progress than just on the scale. 6. When I need smaller clothes, I find a good deal and buy them because it helps me to see my progress.
January 27, 201313 yr Author Oh...I also got my first pair if knee high boots!!! That was a very exciting moment for me
