If you guys haven't tried making a crustless shepherds pie with mashed cauliflower instead of potato, I highly recommend it! I used 2 cups of mashed cauliflower, a cup of fat free mozzarella cheese, a pound of ground beef, an egg, some Worcestershire sauce, some spices, and a cup of peas and carrots and got 8 servings with less than 200 calories each. Tasty, filling, and guilt free!

It's nice hearing "your legs are smaller" My hubby told me this on my way out to the gym. Had to look for myself...I guess he's right.

It's been awhile. No reason, I just haven't been feeling anything lately. A lot happening on the personal aspect of life but overall still good. I have finally reached a true stall. My body weight has been fluctuating between 201 lbs - 205 lbs. Slightly frustrated because my second goal is 200 lbs. I am almost there but this stall is kicking my butt. Went for a follow up. Nothing special except I was told I was not eating enough like I used to. It is funny because eating a lot is what got me to need the surgery and now I do not eat enough. They are right though. With me working early mornings, I can eat once maybe twice a day and then sleep the remainder of the day and do it all over again (do note: I am not a morning person). The only time I would eat a third meal this past week is on Gym day. I would eat something small once I am done working out (protein bar or protein shot) and then I head home to sleep. My new bedtime is around 5 - 6pm since I have to be up at 3:00am to start getting ready. So I am going to end on a good note though. A smile that has not left my face since finding out the news.....(backstory): I worked on a project at work that made sure all the integrations went in smoothly upon setup of our new system. My manager took credit for the integration and tried to change people's imagine a me at work (combative, aggressive, failing to perform, you know the usual). Fast forward a few months. The company is opening a new branch and office and she was away for two weeks doing the integration there and upon launch it flopped. Everything that could go wrong did. Oh how Upper Management mad with her since they had to delay the launch. Everytime he comes out of a meeting she looks stressed. Everything she did to me, she is getting in return. Karma Karma Karma!

I am 2 months out from the Gastric sleeve I had surgery done on may 10th and I have lost 37 pounds and I feel great and I am ready to be a healthier me and I am ready for my fiancé and me to get married in two years and I will be a healthier person then having to worry about me not feeling ok to walk down the aisle with my brother and not being able to breath and like when dancing I won't get tired so fast

Surgery in 8 hours!!! My emotions are all over the place. Prayers please and thanks. Praying for you all as well.

10 days post op and I have lost 20 lbs. I'm far enough along that I am no longer scared to death of blood clots or leaks and now feel like this was the best decision I made in my entire life! I love the idea that I will forever be able to get full on a children's size meal.

Wonderful Onederland!!! My stall finally broke. Saturday I was 199 and this morning I stepped on the scale habitually (I was going to wait a week to enjoy 199, hopefully without seeing 200 creep back in there somehow) and I weighed 197. Thanks for all the support and assistance getting me through what was one of the most emotionally painful stalls, EVER!!!!
