50 lbs GONE!!

I am so thrilled that I've lost nearly half my excess weight at the 3-month mark. I had my surgery on 8/10/11 so I'll be celebrating my 3-month surgiversary in 2 days. I didn't have a required pre-op diet so all my loss has been post-op. I'm absolutely over the moon that I've hit this milestone at the 3-month mark . . . I know that the "honeymoon" period is likely nearly over so I'm being realistic and know that the next 50 will likely be a LOT harder . . . but I've worked so hard and am so happy that I've made it this far, that no matter how long the rest takes, I'm in it for the duration!!!! :) I started out at a 24 pants and a 3x shirt size . . . I'm comfy in a 1x shirt (probably could pull off a XL but am still trying to get comfortable in clothing that is more fitted) and the size 16 pants I bought are getting baggy.

WOOT!!

Congratulations!!! That is awesome! Keep up the good work! You'll be there before you know it. ;)

Would you mind sharing what you do? What you eat, exercise etc. I'm 3 weeks post op. Lost 25 lbs in 2 weeks and this week lost NONE! I know it's still good but I want to follow in the steps of thos who lose good!

Thanks all!

Elixaveth, I've been tracking everything I eat and making sure I eat my Protein first before anything else. I have not found issues with carbs keeping me from losing quickly, so I do eat a few more carbs than some of the others on this board - but I'm trying to stick to good carbs rather than bad. I am eating a ton of boneless/skinless chicken breast, small salads, cheese, etc.

Up until the last 2 weeks I've been exercising 4-6 days per week - taking a strength class and doing cardio (jogging) on the treadmill. I've had some medical issues due to an ongoing condition I have so I've not worked out for a couple weeks but I'm hoping to be back at it soon!
