A year out

How many calories/carbs are you eating a year out? How much exercise are you getting? Are you still losing?

I was still losing -- I kept my calories between 900 & 1100, minimum 80 grams of protein per day. In weight loss mode, I avoided all grains, starchy veggies, sweets, and tropical fruits. I exercised almost every day -- jogging, weights, circuit training, HIIT -- but I never "ate back" burned calories and had (and continue to have) a mindset that exercise is for health, not for weight loss.

What were you eating? And I see you had your surgery in 2013, how much weight have you lost in total?

@@tnf0920 I have lost about 220 lbs. My standard eating plan in weight loss mode is the same now as it was 2 years ago, I think. I drop back into weight loss mode occasionally when I find I've strayed out of my comfort range. I am in weight loss mode right now! Here is my plan:

4 small meals each day + 1 snack & 1 protein shake.

Breakfast: 3 oz chicken breast

Lunch: 3 oz chicken breast + 1.5 oz chopped green veggies (asparagus, artichoke hearts, green beans, etc.) + 1/2 T. light salad dressing

Dinner: 1.5 oz roasted veggies (broccoli, brussels sprouts, cauliflower -- something like that), + 2-3 oz fish or maybe 2 oz fish + 1 egg. Sometimes I mash up the fish with some avocado or frozen chopped spinach or kale and some sauce, such as curry sauce, and bake it in the oven with the egg on top.

After dinner: this is my "dessert" meal -- Greek yogurt, and a very small amount of nuts and dried fruit.

Snack: small apple

Protein shake: I use a half serving of protein powder and mix with unsweetened vanilla cashew milk.
