I log EVERYTHING I eat into MFP and usually stay around 1,000 calories now (earlier in the process it was under 800) I try to get between 80-100 grams of protein everyday, and I bought a fitbit and I try to walk between 13,000 and 15,000 a steps a day. I also drink between 8-12 glasses of water/liquid everyday. My daily Starbucks coffee is a nonfat, decaf, sugar free (skinny) latte. Sometimes I have a second in the evening. Caffeine stimulates your fat storage metabolism, so I avoid it. And that's really all I do. I am not a gym rat or exercise fanatic or anything. I eat most things, just tiny amounts. And, I really don't eat many sweets yet.

Congrats everyone! You look awesome Kalimomof3! I've lost 105 today, had my surgery Nov. 6. Here's a photo before and after for me.

I love MFP....I've been tracking since my surgery. Feel free to add me. Tparkerc59

Proud granny...you rock! Your posts always make me smile. Thanks for being here and congrats.

Georgia...all I can say is "awesome"!

Fiddleman is just bragging! Lol....I buy Miralax in BULK and I'm lucky if I produce a BM once a week!

Lol...some girls clip it to their undies...please tell me you wear undies butter!!! LOL

Cowgirl Jane, I feel the same way! Wake up every morning and just can't believe how happy and blessed I am. Thank you Mr. Sleeve!

Can you tell, we love the fitbit! Lol

I'm a walker as well with my fitbit. I try for 15,000 steps a day and to me, that's exercise!

That's awesome and very inspiring for me just beginning my maintenance phase.

Thanks for the advice Georgia and Feedyoureye, I appreciate it! I'm upping my water from 8 glasses to 12 and making sure I get all my protein in. Not really doing any sugar/carbs yet...just a half an apple once a day with 5 cherries. I hope I don't have to cut that out cause I'm really enjoying that snack!

My appetite is suddenly coming back with a VENGANCE! Not being Hungry all the time was so awesome, now I'm getting scared.

Welcome to the century club!

I weigh 149...have lost 102 lbs. and my BMI says I'm fat as well. And I am still wearing a size 12! What the heck. Maybe I'm just under tall (I'm 5'2"). We need to all give ourselves a break as this journey/life can be SO frustrating!

Can I just say "wow,". You look amazing,

We'll just have to suck it up when the time comes and go for it!

My go to snack is a decafe skinny vanilla latte from Starbucks. 120 calories and 12 grams of protein. I know it has a lot of carbs and sugar from the skim milk but it does keep me satisfied for a good while and I get some protein and calcium out of it.

Thanks for the definition!
