Well yesterday everyone I hit 75lbs ❤️???????????? I'm still in shock it's come off so easy. I'm exercising about 4 days a week, a total body, circuit training type exercise I made for myself. And it seems to be doing the trick. Keep up the good work everyone ❤️ I hope you are all doing fabulous too!!?

Has anyone tried the grilled chicken nuggets from Chic-fil-A yet? I had them for lunch yesterday (forgot my packed food on the counter) a 4 piece is just a little too much for me but can't beat 70 calories and 11 grams of protein packed goodness! For me the icing on the cake is getting the Diet Lemonade for later!!!

I haven't tried those but your about the 3 rd person who has mentioned or suggested their nuggets. I will have to try them.
How are they really prepared? That what I'd like to know! I thought I'd read something on Twitter feed saying they weren't as healthy as people think if I remember correctly. But don't take my word on it, do research obviously. I read so much and could have gotten facts mixed up lol.

post-256910-14365304030063_thumb.jpgI use the app Lose It to track and this is the nutrition info for the 4 piece. Pretty good if you are in a pinch, high on sodium though.

So I had appt with my NUT last week and while there I asked her about Genepro protein powder. And I am happy to say it's in her list of top 5 protein powders.

Awesome news!!

Yes. It is good for me bc it's the only protein I've found that I can tolerate.

I'm not recommending it for anyone, just sharing. ????

Hello everyone.

I weighed myself this morning, I am now in onederland. Feeling great.

Went though closets over the weekend and have a ton of clothes I'm getting rid of, too big for me now. ????. And no going back so bigger sizes are out of here!!!!

It's some of the little things I'm appreciating, like I can sit and cross my legs more easily.

YAY!!! I am 11 lbs away and can't wait to be there ????

I went through close this weekend. I am taking the nice stuff to a consignment shop today at lunch. Hopefully I can fund some future shopping trips!

It feels great to be able to purge the old and make room for the new.

Yay for clothes being too big! Congratulations! I too went through clothes over the weekend-I am moving in two weeks and trying to get rid of things anyway. It was surprising how many pairs of pants and jeans no longer fit! Less to pack!

I want to share another great source of protein I found last night. Trader Joe's Mahi Mahi burgers. Totally delicious, moist, even straight off the grill and protein packed! One burger has: 110 calories, 5 grams of fat, and 15 grams of protein. I ate 1/2 half of a 3 oz patty and some steamed green beans from my parents garden and was in heaven!!

May Peeps, just stopping by to say hi and see how everyone is doing? Everything is progressing perfectly for me!! Yesterday was my 3 months in on new life, meaning start of pre-op diet.. So far I'm down 83lbs, including pre-op weight loss.. Clothes are really starting to get super big.... And I love it.. Well I hope everyone else's journey is as successful as mine ❤️????????????

Hi May Peeps! Can't believe that today I am 11 weeks post op, Sometimes it feels like my pre-op life was a lifetime ago. The process seems slow and tedious, yet when I actually type 11 weeks I am able to be a bit gentler with myself. I so wish that the process could involve more immediate gratification... lol I guess I'll never grow up. The past week has been difficult. I own a cafe, we are open 6am to 10-11pm daily, and I am around lots of food all day. Also we are entering peak tourist season, and I have been having to spend 10-15 hours a day working in a very hot kitchen. It has left little time or energy for exercise/walking. I don't want to waste this early post surgery time and am feeling a bit frustrated with my life. I would so much rather to be able to walk 90 minutes a day and spend more time paying attention to this part of my journey. The season here lasts several more weeks, and I am hoping that I will be able to find balance in my life again. So far I've lost 51lbs since I've started this journey and 37lbs since surgery.
