OAM

Of every thread on every forum out there, this one was the most helpful to me. I am a slow looser, and spend waayyyy too much time comparing my loss to everyone else's. I track my food, keeping my calories to around 800, my Protein around 70, m carbs under 30. For the most part. I drink one Protein Drink a day, usually for Breakfast. I deal with some hunger and cravings, but for the most part stick to the plan. I don't really get enough exercise due to fibromyalgia with joint and muscle pain. I had my surgery August 6, 2013 and just hit the 50 pound loss mark. I wish I could put all the tracking and "dieting" behind me, and eat what everyone around me eats, just less of it, but am just not there yet. I have recently changed my goal weight from an unrealistic 135 to a much more realistic 150. I am 5'8" inches, and larger boned, and 53 years old, so 135 would have made me look very unhealthy, and that just isn't the perfect vision of myself. You all inspire me! Thank you!

If you are out shopping one day, and your tummy starts to rumble, immediately head for the head. Do not let yourself think it will go away in a few minutes.

There are some awesome people in this group!
