Today is 4 months since I was sleeved!! I am loving it so much!!! Even though this month was a slow weight loss month for me, I will take it I lost 10 this month, but that now makes me at a total lose of 100 POUNDS!!!!! WOOOOOHOOOOOO!!!! I even fit into my size 20 jeans today! WOOOHOOOO!!!! My next goal is going to be to get to half way (only 2 more pounds!) and then get under 250! I can't believe how good I am already feeling, and that is at 269 pounds! I have been sick this week so I was not able to workout, but I am going to get back to it this week! I have attached some pictures. They are all from today. The middle one is a close up (WARNING- no makeup, watch out, LOL), and the last one is my happy dance, LOL! I so can't dance!

Soooooooooooooooooooooooooo awesome ! ! !

Congrats!

You're looking great! Keep up the good work.

That is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You look fantastic and I love love love the happy dance. You are rocking that sleeve!

Your loss is amazing! You are such an inspiration for us newbies (2 weeks out). Can you give the newbies any tips as to what you ate (Protein amounts/carbs) during the past four months as well as how much exercising you did? That would be most helpful!

Great job!

Everyone is different, so you just need to experiment and see what works best for you and your body. But, I will share what has worked for me.

The first month or 2 I got an average of 500-800 calories. Not sure about protein or carbs since I didn't track those then. A few months out, I started to track on myfitnesspal.com, and that helps A LOT! I even have an app for my phone so I can enter foods when I am out.

In the last 2 months, I have probably ranged from 800-1200 calories a day, even a few "bad" days where I had 1500 calories. I usually range from 70-100g of protein, and anywhere from 70-210 carbs, most of the time its between 120-140. I don't restrict carbs and my nutritionist never suggested it. I do usually eat my protein first because that is what my body craves, but I do eat bread, rice, and Pasta. I think my weight loss has slowed down lately because I am snacking too much. You really have to watch that. I eat about 5-6 times a day, 3 meals and 2-3 Snacks depending on how active I am.

The first few months I did some walking, not much at all. But I was kind of active packing up my house to move and putting it in storage. I am not completely moved out, but I did a lot of packing and going thru a lot of stuff and getting rid of stuff.

I started working out about a month and a half ago. It was very rough at first, but I have worked up to a lot more, and pretty quickly. I haven't worked out in the past 2 weeks because I had bronchitis and it wouldn't go away! But, I am going to see how I do tomorrow.

Good luck to you and everyone in your journey's!! I feel like I am just begining it, even though I am half way to goal! I think losing is the easier part, keeping it off is the challange.

YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!
