How will u maintain....?

i want to loose those last 10 lbs so i can join the century club

to maintain - my NUT and i have to discuss how many calories to take in - i think the magic # will be 1,100 and 1 full cup volume of food - WooHoo :)

i bought a bunch of clothes at Kohl's - 2 new blue jeans, 1 pair of kaaki (msp?) pants -3 blouses, gym outfit, zip up sweater and..............a partridge in a pear tree ;)

btw - i really do look amazing :)

i don't want to go over that number - but i'm sure if i did a couple of times or say, i won't die, nor will i gain 5 lbs

in the past, i could never maintain my weight - up and down on that see saw. no more playing games, i will continue to watch everything i eat, exercise, etc. - continue drinking all my Water

if i do everything right, eating etc. - i'm working my sleeve - the sleeve should be nice and work with me too

i will keep this weight off - i'm determined, theres no reason i shouldn't be successful -

very happy

i want to btle this wonderful feeling up - and just hold on tight to it

i feel like one hot grammy :)

you are doing so great - you've already joined that elite Century Club - keep up the great work

when i was a little baby - i always said to myself "when i grow up i want to be in the Century Club"

i'm not a baby anymore - but baby look at me now :)

WooHoo

Way to go.

I've been reluctantly buying clothes on the clearance rack because I don't want to spend a bunch of money on stuff that's not going to fit me in 6 months.

Also, my wedding ring will not stay on at all, but same thing, I don't want to resize it...only to have to resize it again. You wouldn't think you're fingers would shrink that much.

There is a cheap solution to the ring pblm. Ask your jeweler for a ring guard. It slips onto the bottom of the ring and can be made smaller as needed. Then, when you're done, u can spend the bucks to have the ring resized.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
