tragedy

feel better soon.... this can be hard on us!

how do i get rid of this loose skin gathering smack in the middle of my neck? i dont think theres neck machines at the gym. i dont want to look like a turkey!!

no lynn....i LOVED meat...i just cannot eat it now. tuna and chicken has come up enough times that i cant even think of eating it anymore. i pretty much live on greek yogurt with splenda and salads ...i do not feel deprived in the least. if you told me this would happen PRE surgery i wouldve laughed my butt off. I went from 315 to 250 so far.. so far to go ...but omg the difference!!

4 days shy of 2 months....65 pounds. i do not eat meat....only fresh veggies... (aka salads with fat free dressings) 108 g of Protein a day via shakes i work out in the gym 2 1/2 hours a day 4 days a week. and on off gym days i bike or walk at least 2 hours a day.

i get over 100g a day... i just think maybe im in a holding pattern cause of the pm drinking? but thats my hungry time lol

trying to find out....seeing a lot for building muscles...weight lifting...not weight loss....particularly for us. anyone know? ive been doing PM shakes but I think its causing stalling....i dont want experimentation, i want results! lol

personally, and i dont know really if this is many other women (i was just joking about the knowing women thing lol) if im afraid im losing a man, his interest, or if other women are showing interest, zoning in....ill hit him with the sex twice as hard and twice as good just to show him that #1. hes mine and #2. what he would be missing. i know that sounds horrible, but its primitive, base and in my case.... true.

you can stretch it out over time....one or two pig outs doesnt do it....many, and you can.

starvation mode works itself out eventually, im getting all of my cals in Protein shakes, i rarely intake solid foods. I am losing because i measure. .... i speak with my nutritionist a lot lol ... hes aware and approves as long as im meeting reqs which i am.

i initially did my whey Protein (body fortress from walmart vanilla) with DECAF coffee...ICED. you literally CANNOT taste it. everything is going to taste crappy untill you get it all out of your system. I hated everything for 3 weeks ..misery. Now my favorites are salads and greek yogurt.... its amazing. woulda never eaten this stuff before. greek yogurt when you get approved for it is awesome with splenda, tastes just like regular and you get a lot of protein.

I was 114 pounds in my 20s ... thyroid, mid thirties baby, a mega love of foods that are way too bad and super laziness (ill be the first to admit) put me to 313...but my attitude and self love hasnt changed one bit.... what did change was the fact that I cant keep up with my severely autistic daughter, i had sleep apnea, a d was afraid of dying young (and wiping my own ass wqs becoming a struggle....tmi) PERSONALLY, I find bigger women more attractive, my hubby never was with a thin woman, all the men I dated were strict chubby chasers and I never had a problem finding men attrated to me. It would be offensive to me for someone to think that after losing weight Im somehow more desireable....to who? the undersireables?

if a man didnt want me or look at me pre surgery ill be DAMNED if i want them looking at me now. and if my husband dared to say "but you look so good now...." i looked good ALWAYS. surgery wasnt for looks at all for me. my ego was always huge lol

muscle weighs more than fat! start measuring with a measuring tape instead of weighing. Ive been 2 weeks at a stall and i work out 3 HOURS a day and eat about 300 calories. theres NO WAY im not losing lol

Oooo mami post surgery was tough with my daughter with autism (she severe) she headbutts alot... and my height that tomach level, shes like a lil goat lol i kept a pillow in front when i was sitting down. every day she checked my scars.... she still does

ive found th only way i can even come close to tolerating protein is in ice cold decaf coffee with ice an splenda. NO taste....NO grit.
