70 lbs down

Mini crustless quiche
makes: 4 servings
 
ingredients:
4 slices of prosciutto, very thinly sliced!
4 eggs, beaten
1/4 low-fat ricotta cheese
1 slice american cheese (2% or skim milk cheese would be best)
1 tbsp shredded parmesan cheese
salt and pepper to taste (I also put in a bit of garlic powder - optional)
*note: prosciutto is very salty on its own and you do not need much added salt in this recipe. In fact, you might want to skip salt altogether and just salt the finished product if it's needed
 
instructions:
spray 4 ramekins with cooking spray
in the bottom of each ramekin, loosely pile one slice of prosciutto in each ramekin
in a medium bowl, beat the 4 eggs and ricotta cheese together, season with salt and pepper to taste.
pour mixture evenly over the prosciutto in the ramekins.
tear apart and distribute bits of the american cheese among all 4 ramekins and top with parmesan cheese and one last bit of fresh cracked black pepper on top.
 
Bake in a pre-heated 350 degree oven for about 13-15m or until toothpick comes out clear. Allow to rest for a couple of minutes. They should pop right out of the ramekin since you sprayed them first!

This is the difference in what 13 months make when I decided to get the surgery and to just this past week. I am post-op now 5 months and while I am stalling some, I am very happy with the results. I am down a total of 94 pounds. I would struggle to walk and now not only do I walk 2 times a day but I am also jogging and going to run a 5k in June. Huge lifestyle changes for me have but nothing but positive results.

This is me around my highest weight (236ish) compared to 10 weeks after surgery. At this point, I've technically only lost 20 lbs since surgery, but when I look at how far I've come overall, that's what really matters to me! I feel healthier and make much better choices than I used to! I recently changed my goal from 136 to 150 after having my body fat % measured and realizing that my lean body mass is 122 lbs, and I am wearing a size 10 dress in this pic at 190 lbs (5' 4").
