I keep thinking I haven't really lost anymore weight since that picture back in August. I lost about 20lbs after that but put about 6 back on. But I can tell I'm a lot smaller now than I was in that picture. I've packed on a bunch of muscle since then. I hate that it messes up the number on the scale but I'm loving how defined my arms and legs are. Don't get me wrong, they're still covered in saggy skin but I have a bunch of muscle too.

I'm at a bit over 100lbs lost and I'm currently right at 200lbs. I'm a 12 in bottoms and a m/L on top.

Taco seasoning as no sugar and 3 carbs per serving. You wouldn't even eat a whole service with this recipe, or you could leave the taco seasoning out. Salsa has 2 sugars and 2 carbs. As I said my husband eats his with a tortilla or chips. What do you eat? Plained boiled chicken 24/7?

It's almost impossible to avoid all sugars and wouldn't be healthy or even doable to avoid all carbs. You do what you want to do, but this isn't a chocolate chip cookie recipe, it's a healthy, easy, almost pure Protein.

Nope - don't eat plain boiled chicken 24/7 - make my own sauces at home instead of pouring them out of a bottle! Takes maybe 30 mins more of your time in the kitchen! ;)

Tacos/Nachos are a complete and strict no no! :)

It's not impossible to go sugar free - you need to want to do it! And that is how I've lost 101 pounds in 5 months! Cheers! :)

The doctors recommend that you use salsa for spices. Nothing wrong with that. That recipe sounds delicious!

This past year has been amazing. I have plenty of loose skin yes but I am getting toned up witch has helped some with the skin. My hair has stated to finally get better and my weight has began to go up a lil only by like 3lbs and my trainer says it is muscle not fat so for me not to worry Just messes with my head alil but I have to remember muscle weighs more than fat. I am really loving my new body and cant wait for the summer o show it off. Hope everyone is doing just as great.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
