Aww! That's soo cute thank you.. that lifted my mood right now.. the doctor said I'll go down too 142 so that's the goal tight now and when i get there i'll see if i like it or if i should strive for 135. How have you been doing? What's your total weight loss right now?... and you know what's funny my mom said the same thing.."where's your green veggies " i forgot about those lol when i do get around to eating i've been making sure it was Protein but i have to add veggies as well. Thanks for the reminder

You have a good mom! Haha! ?

142, huh? I was probably 22 years old last time I saw that number!!! Lol. I don't really have a goal. Just threw a number down (150, I think) cause it seemed most likely for my height. Lol. I was thinking to myself the other day, if I ended up right here, (not even sure what I weigh now--cause I don't use the scale), then I'll be fine knowing that I'm feeding my body good food that can heal and prevent diseases, etc. if I have to guess, I might be about 210ish??? Could be more or less, who knows. If I am indeed 210ish, then I will be 59 lbs down from start, 34 from surgery. But like I said, I have no clue! Anyway, I've been researching and focusing on a plant based diet. I've read so much about animal proteins that I'm giving them up. I knew I wanted to be plant based before wls, and tried, but now I'm doing it totally. Loving it too. I feel so much better. My body thanks me. ? At my age it isn't so much about my look anymore. Sure I'd love to be fine, my hubby thinks so anyway, that's all that matters, but I'm focused solely on my health. Thus why I said I'd be ok where I am if I know my insides are good. Now, I know I'll end up losing more weight, which is great. So it's a win win for me. Yay!

now, to get those greens in hon. ?

I have been missing reading the forums. I hope everyone is doing well. The signal is very poor where I am camping.

We have been super busy. I have been logging 15,000-25,000 steps everyday. I am sun burnt lol and sore, but we are all having a good time. I am sure my stall will be broken because I am definitely not on the same routine lol

I will catch back up with you all next week. here is a photos of our club.

This is how I feel also. I want to get to 160 at least, but if I don't that's ok because I feel ? so good.

What a good looking bunch! Looks like ya'll just finished an activity??? LOL I am quite sure your stall is broken. At least you're having fun!!!!

Very nice photo!

So, I decided to try out my wedding ring...and it doesn't fit. BUT, it's down a bit more on my finger than what it could do before; so I'm happy about that. I decided to weigh myself, curiosity got me, I'm now 212. Then I thought, "oh man, I've been NOT wearing my wedding ring for a long time!!!" for it to not fit at 47 lbs down from my highest weight. Not cool. All in due time.

Ten more days ya'll....and we'll be officially three months in from our surgery, starting on month four! Nice. Doesn't even feel like I had it anymore. I just eat (albeit, not much) and go on with life. I love it!

Still reading my Proteinaholic book....and I'm sooooo happy I've come across it. It's an eye opener for sure.

Hope you all have a blessed day! I'll check back in later.

Good morning Newme17, I brought both the books Hello Navi and Proteinaholic. I'm reading Hello Navi first because It's the shortest book and I can probably read it in two day without anybiby distributing me lol. Don't worry about your ring you will fit it soon enough. Congrats on your weight lose! Do you regret trying on your your ring and weighing yourself?

Just read a great article about vsg - I was researching why we can't eat and. Drink at the same time. It really helped me understand. That has been a big challenge for me. Anyway , I thought I'd post the link here.
Also, broke out the box of clothes I haven't been able to wear in years and all but one pair of pants fit me out of like 8-10 pairs of pants! It was so nice!

Awwww you did!!! Yay! I hope you'll be blessed with Hello Navi and have such an eye opening experience with a Proteinaholic. I'm in chapter ten of that one now and I'm just amazed with all the studies and science that has been done and we don't hear nearly enough about it! It's truly an eye opener. Be doubly blessed, as you continue your journey and take care of yourself. ?

Oh hon, you and everyone here are all most welcome to be here in this thread. I want everyone, no matter their wls date, be comfortable to come and share and be encouraged here. ?

Glad to be back home tonight in my own bed. I will weigh myself tomorrow morning and see how I did this past week away from home. I hope everyone had a good week.

Back to work tomorrow even though I feel like I could use a day off after my trip. Our club won the 1rst place trophy for the best Pathfinder Club so all of our kids were happy!!
