6 months in 105 lbs down! LOVING LIFE!

  • Popular Post

I am just so excited each day to have the energy to do stuff....doesn't matter what, I don't have to worry anymore about being too tired to chase my 4 and 5 yr old around anymore...they have to worry about keeping up with me!

Best Decision Ever!!!

Biggest Awesome moment? Picking something up, a shirt, from a normal store...getting it home and it was BIG!!! normal sizes are too big for me! I don't have to shop in mens anymore for tshirts to support my favorite football team, I can wear the cutesy womens tops!! I am in heaven!!

Crossing my legs, who knew it was so comfortable? :)

The bathroom stalls, I guess they weren't designed small...it was just me filling the whole stall, now I don't have to search out for the biggest one, I can just go!

Life is good...and hubby certainly doesn't mind my extra "energy" ha ha!!

So awesome. that is great. Keep it up!!!

Awesome! Wow I can't wait to tell my story of triumph. You have inspired me even more .

I am in awe! That's an OUTSTANDING result!

What does a typical day of food and activity look like for you?

I'm so thrilled for you! I totally understand the big, men's football t-shirts...I hope I can get some of the cute womens stuff someday, too! I hate having to go online to look for my 4x men's Seahawks shirts! I just want more choices, dang it!

I'm just beginning to look into surgery, so it will be a while for me, but stories like yours are what get me excited about the possibilities! Thank you for sharing, and can't wait to watch your progress.

A typical day for me includes:

1. Trying as hard as I can to at least get in 10,000 steps a day. I don't get there every day but I have a Fit Bit that really helps me track how active I have been during the day. I need to get into more strength training but I have 2 little ones so time is rough, but I will only use that excuse for a little bit longer, we just moved so we are in the process of setting up our home gym again.

2. Breakfast....Always 1-1.5 eggs scrambled with a little cheese sprinkled on top

3. lunch - I bring a small wrap with Turkey and cheese - I can only get through half of it but bringing my own food has helped me control what is going in.

4. dinner - We typically make chicken or something with ground beef in it, vegetable and a noodle of some kind, I am sure that I take in my chicken and vegetable ahead of any carbs...generally by the time I get in the first two I don't have any space left for carbs :)

5. If I need a snack, I put a Cheese stick in my lunch bag, not a lot of calories and it really fills me up. Not a lot going in, trying to get in all of my Water, still taking my Vitamins and Calcium chews so that's great.

I hope this helps! it's not a great plan but I guess it's working for me :) down 106 as of today!! Woo hoo!!

I'd say the proof is in the pudding - sounds like a pretty good plan to me! Congrats :)

Congratulations!!!!!

WTG! You're doing great...I was sleeved in April also but I'm 'only' down 76lbs...I'm happy for that but I can NOT wait until I'm down 100lbs!! I have so many stall it's ridiculous. I'm happy for you, congrats!
