Hey y'all: I'd like "in," please! I recently lowered my goal weight by 6 pounds and then promptly lost one.... go figure. I have 5 to go to get to my new goal, and my losing is kind of super slow, like a pound every few weeks. I'd like to lose the last 5 pounds this month, which I think I should be able to do with some discipline and a little EXERCISE--which is my Achilles heel.

Starting weight 180

Goal weight 175 (literally goal weight, LOL!)

Pounds to go: 5

Strategies:

1. Cut down on the cheese!!! Hi, I'm Meg, and I'm a cheese-aholic. Substitute nonfat yogurt more often for good Protein without the calories of the cheese.< /p>

2. Watch the frozen yogurt portion size--it's been creeping up for the last couple of months, and I need to keep it small. Stop purchasing Skinny Cow products of any description (just until goal--they can come back later, MAYBE).

3. Greens every single day, period.

4. Stay better hydrated--only one coffee drink per day, please, and plenty of Water.< /p>

5. Move your butt a bit--check out the gym at work and at least look into the walking track and lap pool!!

6. Stop eating after 8 p.m.

LOL I love it!!!! I've become a serious whole dill pickle and cheese addict the past month. No idea what gives on that, but morning, noon, night... I want me some dill pickles and cheese. I would add a cracker in that snack, but the pickles alone are high enough in sodium...

Just saw the board edited my post, it thought I wrote one thing and I can tell you I didn't. Oh well....

Off to get my dill pick and cheese snack. Guess there could be worse choices.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
