Some women say you know a person has made it in weight loss is when they achieve thigh gap. I don't believe that.

Does puking help with making the scale go down like pooping does?

No weight loss after puke but I did have a BM this morning that dropped me another pound. If I could poop everyday now I would be thin before you know it.

Thinnerme I'm doing better today. The hamburger had some char on it and holy moly was that painful. Now I know why they say soft foods.

Sushi on Friday went well but the date I was on didn't go so well. I had my suspicions before hand and I was spot on. Not the kind of gal you want to meet your family. She had me hold the popcorn in the movie and I will say this, she wasn't grabbing for the popcorn. All this just during the previews. Moving on.????

Interesting Week!

So I hit my 3 week point in 10/27. Not exactly a stall, but a slow down (lost 3.6 lbs) for the week including a 3 day stall.

Since then, it seems to have really picked up (down 6.4 lbs in the last 7 days).

This weekend, I flew from Boston to California, which started with a hotel at the airport on Friday night and 4 meals that had many more calories than my normal meals.

Still lost 1.8 lbs in the last 48 hours.

CW: 224.8 (down 56 lbs from HW).

ABS - How did the popcorn go down?

I had a long debate with my Dietician (not sure if she's a Nutritionist) about popcorn. She wanted me to look for Protein Snacks like cheese and coldcuts. I was a lifelong low carb dieter and got in trouble eating too many nuts and too much cheese.< /p>

I lost 30 pounds pre-opt once I discovered Skinnypop, which something no one on Atkins would ever consider!

I'm projecting down the road (when my capacity increases and my appetite come back) and thinking about big things I'll change to keep the weight off. I know that 90% of my overeating came after drinking on weekend nights. I know that I will eventually drink again (hopefully less) and since I don't drink high-cal drinks, that's not going to be my problem; my problem will be snacking while drinking.

I'm looking to getting full on 100 calories of Jolly Time Kettle Corn and calling it a night!

@@Cape Crooner I didn't have any trouble with popcorn. .I tried a small bite of steak last night. .it didn't go down and I have trouble with things that contain milk. .other than that I eat anything I want. .Dr wants me to stay under 900 calories. ..I haven't heard of skinny pop. .sounds great. My friend that is a NUT just said do a simple carby load. .all I had was the home style popcorn..I'm just thankful it worked. I was getting discouraged

I made plans for a family vacation to New Orleans from x-mas through New Year's.

looking forward to...

walking around without getting winded...

keeping up with my family's energy level...

enjoying 'tasting' the food but not overindulging...

all that jazz...

and a BIG one for me...riding on a plane without a seat-belt extender!!!

      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!!
