Hello all!!

Its my 5 month update!!! Couldn't be happier!!!

I am in a misses 14 from a 24W!!

wearing plain large from womens 2x's!

I am close to goal I know I can do this!

No lose skin- just a little wrinkle action on my abdomen-- not bad at all!

Some hair loss-- but I am managing-- had a ton to start.

All in all my weight loss has been nearly effortless. I work out lightly 3x to 4x per week to help with the skin.

I am eating a min. of 1200-1400 cals a day.

I have enough confidence finally that I have an amazing new man in my life!

I LOVE MY SLEEVE!

thanks girl! My typical day is as follows (with some variations of course) breakfast: cottage cheese single- 19 grams of protien snack: 1/4 cup of nuts or trail mix of some sort. Lunch: 1/2 cup of a steak burrito bowl from chipotle with everything (including rice and beans) I can make one last 6 meals easy! With 5 chips. Snack is a venti iced vanilla latte (not skinny, not sugar free) ! Dinner is always chicken breast or pork tenderloin or some other yummy meat with 1/4 cup of veggies. And I always have a snack at bedtime like 1/4 cup of cheezits, or something else carby- small portion!!! Sounds great right???
