Do you mean 800 calories? This website has a handy calculator that you can customize to figure out where you can set at: https://www.ruled.me/keto-calculator/

I'm one of those really slow eaters. I'm 9 months out and I take about an hour to eat a "regular" meal (I have become used to eating cold food!). It takes so long because I wait about 5-10 mins between 3-5 bites. If I don't take my time, I run the risk of overeating and then get that uncomfortable/painful chest-pressure feeling or worse, get barfy. P.S. back in my early post op days it was taking me 90 minutes to eat even less.

Yesterday's Menu - July 29th: 5'2" ♀️ 9m PO (in maintenance) 1: salad w/ 2 slices bacon + 1 scrambled egg + tuna (350 cals) 2: protein shake w/ instant coffee (120 cals) 3: salad w/ 1.75 oz grilled chicken + 1.25 oz duck breast w/ orange sauce (157 cals) 4: chicken broth drink + 5oz chicharron (408 cals) Totals: 1035 cals, 118g protein, 18g NET carbs, 95g fat I realized I was way too low on calories by the end of the day, so I decided to go to town on a bag of chicharron as an evening snack, lol.

sorry, missed this question... it actually belongs/belonged to my daughter (she let me have it because its to "bright" for her, lol). If I remember correctly, it bought it for her from walmart a couple years ago, so I doubt they still carry it. (...and it's like a child size M/L...)

Days 30 Sleek Arms Challenge (LAST DAY FOR THIS ONE!): done. Toned Arms Challenge: today's quota done + all caught up with the other 3 sets/days I deferred to today. #OUCHmyARMS Chill: our view while chillin' by the rooftop pool at one of the hotels we stayed at a couple days ago...

I do this, which probably isn't good thing. I end up doubling (or tripling) my efforts the next day(s) if I miss getting in some exercise on a given day. I hate playing catchup so I try my best not to miss a day, though sometimes if I know I'm going to miss a workout/run/whatever, I'll put in extra the day(s) before. Reading this over just now makes me think I may be going a little overboard. Hmmmm...need to give this some thought....

heeeeeeeyyyyyyyy sexy lady.

Days 25-29 Sleek Arms Challenge: 5 days worth of this challenge catch-up done!!! Toned Arms Challenge: Only 2 missed days/sets worth of this challenge done, um, those 95 total up and downs in the Sleek Arms Challenge killed me. ❌ Toned Arms Challenge: I'm going to defer 3 sets/days of these to tomorrow (or later today?). My arms are done at the moment. BTW, am pretty proud of myself as for the first time ever, I USED THE HOTEL GYM TO WORK OUT during a vacation. Pre-wls, hotel gyms were basically my source for a quick bottle of water, or cold towel, lol.

same ♥️

Honestly, I love salads with a verrrrry vineagrette-y dressing. Sashimi, grilled steaks and cashews are up there too 😜

Regular exercise makes/made a huge difference. I have also noticed that exercise on an empty stomach (i.e., getting a run in or some class or some strength training before the first meal of the day) was very effective on the weight loss front...well, with me at least

are you losing inches?

I stayed the EXACT same. 116.2 the morning we left, 116.2 this morning. But I haven't pooped in 4 days...yikes.

I'm one of these people hahahaha. I'm 9 months out (sleeve though, not bypass) and I will down a protein shake if I find I am low on my protein quota at the end of the day. I also always have a packet of protein powder (and beef jerky!) in my purse just in case I end up needing to eat something and there is nothing appropriate around to consume)

Wish I took more pictures on our road trip...this is all I got: 1st pic: what I wore to dinner last night, 2nd pic: what me and the Kid are wearing today (I realize now I seem to have a penchant for see-through shirts...why do I not notice the visibility of my bra when I'm getting dressed???)

Nah, my carbs were on the relative high side (well, for me at least). I was between 75-100g each of the days. But I figured I was on vacation, so I threw caution to the wind (though I still stayed away from bread/rice/pasta/potatoes, I'm not that wild after all, lol)

Been totally eating off-plan for the past few days due to some road-tripping we've been doing. Yesterday's menu was estimated to be 2157 calories! Meal 1: (The included hotel breakfast) Greek yogurt with sliced almonds + spinach rolled in a cheddar cheese slices + 1 breakfast pork sausage + black coffee (486 calories) Meal 2: Goodnorth frozen dressert (i.e., protein ice cream) + dried mangoes + sunflower seeds (611 calories) Meal 3: McDonalds Asian Salad w/ Grilled Chicken w/ included dressing (370 calories) Meal 4: Blue cheese + cheddar cheese + brie cheese + prosciutto + grapes + salad greens (680 calories)

@336Mike: did you get your tattoos before or after your weight loss?

yeah...sometimes I resort to child size clothing (*sigh*). I have several items in my closet that are hand-me-downs from my 13yr old 🙄

Loving the immaculate sneakers...

Ok, so I guess I wear alot of workout clothes! What I wore to Yoga this morning, which, btw, is the first time I’ve gone in almost 6 weeks! I can feel the stiffness that has set in from being away so long. Im shocked at the amount of effort I had to put in to hold some poses that were old hat to me. Not going to go this long without going again. Pinky swear.

Another long term maintainer! Great to see what someone 8 years out eats in a day. What does your menu look like when you aren’t on the road?

Y'all make me wanna fancy it up a bit more to go out for errands!!!

THOSE. SNEAKERS.
