Thanks!!!! I'm still very happy with where I am. I haven't lost any in a few weeks, but am approaching the time of month where I lose ok. I'll try for a few pounds. Though if I don't... oh well. ;)

So I'm back at it folks!! I have tacked on 29.9 Lbs of FAT loss and undertaken a great feat. I'm trying to get my body fat to 29% which will place me in the "moderately lean" category. I do believe that will finally be it for me. I did this to get myself as healthy as I can, while still looking good. I think that will be the exact place. It will get me down to about 151 Lbs.

*Whew* this is going to be rough. I'd like to get there in six months!! Before my next Bod Pod Body Fat % Test.

I'll need to incorporate some weight training which I really don't like doing because I gain muscle so fast. I only plan to do 2 days per week and really only upper body for now. My legs will look like Ahhhnold's if I work em!!!

Auughhhhhghghgghhhhh!!!!!!!

Thank you!!! It's not going to be very easy. I already only lose about 4-5 Lbs per month now. So I'll have to stay at 5 Lbs per month or above to reach my goal in this timeline. However fat loss is different than weight loss, so I could still build muscle and end up heavier than 151 Lbs and still be 29% Body Fat. So... we'll see how I end up!!!

*hugs*

Diva, even if you only lose one pound a month, you are sill heading in the right direction. I am only losing around 3 pounds a month for the last couple of months... I am happy for it! I still want to lose 18 pounds by......July of next year. And most of that needs to be fat so wish me luck!

Wishing you the best! I know you'll get there though!!

That is awesome Diva! Well done.

I am 4lb from 'goal', and am really pondering how you begin to move from a lifetime of trying to lose weight, to acceptance. I really hope to join you there soon xx

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
