congrats!!!

what kind of exercise are you doing? i agree with the others, if you are not logging your food, start logging every bite... how much do you have to lose? (the more you weigh, the quicker the initial loss is)

***snort***

i dunno guys, im truly at a loss for words on this one. i mean i have words i guess, i just cant use them cause i'd probably get the boot...

complaining that I'm hungry... too late to eat.

... im really trying to hold my tongue about the whole malnutrition 'issue' on that thread ... someone ... anyone... ???

i am very open about things in my blog ...

do a quick thread search for How Did You Do It... (intro section) :wub: :eek:

dang, that sounds really good ... do you have an official recipe or just throw things in? mine always turn out blah when i dont have general guidelines..

OHHHH.... thats great news!

thanks Honeybee.. i owe much of it to working my tail off at the gym in the beginning (i've slacked off lately and my weight loss shows) the TT & lipo was about 12,500 including 2 nights in the hospital (dr initially wanted one, but i had a fever and extremely low BP)... i didnt even pursue the insurance route, i just wanted it done and i had the funds to do it.

im staying on plan tomorrow cause i know i can do it (and wednesday is weigh in day for me)

18 months is coming up. wow, i cant believe its been a year and 1/2. my life has changed so much!

i only have one small area where i still have a scab and it looks like its about to come off any day now. my belly button also has a nasty scab ... it had a small one and i was playing with it (peroxide & q-tip) and poked a bit too hard i guess and it started bleeding ... guess i wont do that again. left side right side belly button

we took clothed pics tonight, so i figured we'd take partially nekid ones too ... kinda discouraged about the swelling although it is going down... will post scar pics in my next post.

my plastic surgeon gave me clearance to low carb it again ... YAY... (it's the only thing that REALLY works well for me)... sooooo... if low carbing it works well for you, come join in this thread. what works for me is... - dont worry about calories (though i rarely go above 1200) - dont worry about fat - keep carbs about 10% (max) Monday: b - atkins caramel shake l - 2.5 oz tuna w/ mayo, HB egg and grated parmesan cheese s - atkins caramel shake d - 1.25 pieces steak umm (ick), 1 pc mozz cheese, 1/4 cup mushrooms sauteed in butter & 1 wing (tequila lime)

TMI continued ... ummm yeah, one weird thing ... i now have some hair on my tummy ... not sure what im going to do about that ...
