Leftover olive garden chicken and risotto. I love that my husband and I can split everything and I still get two meals out of that. We also make healthier choices in general. Although I'm the one who had surgery, we have both benefited from the healthy changes.

My wonderful snow crabs from yesterday,

My nsv happened Saturday. I just got a cute new hair cute and had to go get cash due to the system being down at the salon. I went to 7-11 and was leaving the store when on of my friends walked right past me as if she didn't know me. I slapped her on her butt and she turned around having a look of shock on her face that was priceless! It took her a second to realize it was me. She had no words! It was pretty funny and made my day!

My goal was to have the number 1 beginning my weight by January 1, 2014 and I reached that goal today... yeah me and it feels great

I'm still holding out hope of making it to that 100lbs lost mark by end of year. I'm 20lbs away, so it seems unlikely but I bet I might at least get close.
On another note, I'm fitting into some 1x stuff now. I was a 4x 4 months ago. Pretty incredible.

I was out for my evening walk and a random guy that lives in the same apartment building I do said he wasn't sure it was me and said I had lost so much weight. Pretty cool to hear from a total stranger.

Ok I have to share with everyone cause I'm so excited and happy!!
Today I am down 100 pounds since my highest weight!.... And also yesterday my boyfriend proposed! I am so beyond happy!!!

Naw, you're not failing. Some days you're just going to do better than others. But always keep in mind that Protein, Water, and Vitamins have got to happen. Then try to get as close to your individual goals for them as possible. In the times when I just can't take another Protein Shake, cottage cheese helps me get to protein goal. It's easy on the pouch and relatively high protein.

Last night I bought a new pair of high heeled, to the knee leather boots to wear with skirts. In the past I always had to buy the 'extended calf' ones. I bought the normal ones and one pair I tried on were even too big in the calf. On top of that I got them 30% off. Yay!!

Tomorrow morning we pick up my son at the airport. He knows I had weight loss surgery but the last time he saw me was in June, only three weeks after my surgery, and I was still over 200lbs. I weigh 135 now! I have lost so much weight since then, he won't recognize me! I can't wait to see the look on his face! :-)

I stalled at 2 weeks out for about 10 days. Same deal, my body changed a lot during that time. Same deal with my latest stall of 5 weeks starting at 2.5mos post op. Hang in there!

I'm down exactly 50 since surgery, and 80 for the year. Not as fast as I had hoped and some manage. However, my checkup yesterday really put it into perspective. With my body fat/muscle percentages, I have lost 48lbs of fat. Just fat. And gone from 72 BMI to a 58. That at least makes me feel better progress.

My wish is to hit 100lbs lost by Christmas day. Today I am only 2.7lbs away. It's possible I'll get there! :-)

Head hunger, head hunger, head hunger. And my brain tells me that hunger can only be sated with cheese. Apparently my brain is not with the program. This tummy doesn't have hunger anymore, not like it used to.

Okay I am excited and I have to share. I am 1 pound from one derland !! Also I went to Christopher Banks and got a size 16 jeans and a large top. I use to wear 24 pants and a 3x top. Woo hoo. I was excited and needed to share.

Here's a sample:
Breakfast: 1 hardboiled egg and a couple strawberries/or a 1/3 cup oatmeal with Protein drink mixed in (which ends up making it more like 1/2 cup in volume)/or a Protein shake
Snack: 1/3 cup low fat cottage cheese/or rest of Protein Shake from Breakfast
Lunch: 1/3 cup tuna salad with 4-5 whole grain crackers, or leftover from dinner the night before but still only about 1/3 to 1/2 cup
Snack: 2oz low fat cheese/ or 1/4 cup nuts and a little dried fruit like apricots or raisins/or the rest of lunch if I couldn't finish it like when I get takeaway
Dinner: 3oz meat and a little veggies like 1-2Tb worth.
Snack: a glass of low fat milk, or some roasted sunflower/pumpkin seeds if I need something crunchy
This usually puts me between 800-1000 calories, 50-80 carbs, and 70-80 Protein. I eat every couple hours and in between I drink 16-24oz of Water.
