You are so right Nannie. I look forward to the rest day too. Mine is Mon and Ths. First week spreading it out a little. So far so good. dropped 1.9 pounds yesterday... up and down, but mostly down!

I havent posted any pics in a long time (other than the skirts last week!) and have just gotten brave enough again. Lol Actually felling pretty good about myself right now and need to save the shots for when I dont! Ha! I will never be a SMALL person - I'm 5'8" and right now weigh 165 but size 10 feels good and size 20 looks like a distant memory!!! Ha!

Okay, I changed my profile name from Nannie (which I love being but made me feel OLD!) to me, Georgia! Just so you know - I'm Nannie Georgia! Lol

Swizzly, just don't get carried away on the food part! lol Else, your fasting is in vain! Ha! Enjoy!

Laura, we are almost identical in weight. And weighing this morning down another two lbs! 165! I havent seen that number in MANY months!

Sexy, I guess I adjusted to low carb "brain wise" but I definitely get low blood sugar and VERY TIRED. I didn't realize how tired I actual was until I switched to 5:2. I have so much more energy and focus its really kind of strange. Even though I am eating a lot less calories, I am eating healthier and more balanced I believe. Also strangely enough, I actually kind of look forward to my fast days. I know, I'M WEIRD! Think its just because I am so glad to finally be on a good path again. Went through many months of depression and I believe a lot was because I felt I was floundering Healthwise, thinking I had somewhat "wasted" my sleeve. Which is load of crap!

I was reading a comment from a guy on the "How many at goal Vet" thread and it hit me - we ARE at goal even if a few pounds above on a scale. Most all of us have drastically changed our lifestyles, dropped medications, lost LOTS of weight! GOAL is a state of mind!!! We need to start believing it! (Did I sound like Dr. Phil?)

Strangely enought, I am also feeling more energy than ever.... I do need to start believing that I am at goal and skinny and just give myself rest days also. It makes so much since. The days that I have trouble articulating seems to bother me the most when I have clients (I am a therapist) and it just feels so unprofessional to me. I do notice that my clients aren't bothered by it at all. LOL. I noticed your name change from nannyg to Georgia. Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! I am going to work harder to get a pic of myself up that I like of course. That will be difficult.....OMG, your pics have changed in front of my eyes! You are a HOT SEXY woman! Wowza! You have done a fantastic job. You are an inspiration to me.......Thank you so much....... :wub:

Sexy, um, hot (yes!) sexy (NO!) but thanks for the comments!

What, no sexy? Hummmmm, I mean sexy in our own way. I'm just learning to accept mine..........LOL

Georgia, looking good! Yes we are around the same weight but yours is stretched out over 4 more inches than me ( shorty here at 5'4).

Ok I'm ready for today! Tonight is going to interesting though. I'm meeting another member here for the first time, she's in town on a convention. We are taking our sons to the boardwalk in Santa Cruz. I wonder how I will feel being faced with boardwalk food? On the other hand it's probably a good thing it's a fast day! Can you imagine me there if it were a feed day!

[M2G 1,836]

Ahh, the G in NannieG was for Georgia! You are beautiful and thank you for posting your pics. I did get a chuckle out of the "sexy" TP rolls in the background, lol. Gotta love trying to get a good "selfie" in the bathroom mirror!!

[Georgia 2,908]

Yeah, M2G, I'm not adept at "selfies!" lol Meant to apologize for that and forgot! ha!

end of day four fast-day... been a tough ones as I made a rookie error! Not prepared! Didn't take food to work and I had a cheese and pot pie - no idea how many calories was in it... so I haven't eaten anything just in case... I am, however gonna have a bowl of frozen fruit and low fat yogurt for my supper because I am that hungry I have a headache!

I'm hoping that I won't go (much) over the 500 cals... but even if I do, what is done is done... tomorrow will just be a normal 'sleeve' day!

Oh I did go to Curves again, so I am hoping that, that will help!

And... I got on the scales this morning to be greeted with 163, so another pound down... dunno if it will be the same in the morning mind... but just to see the low end of my 'bounce' is pretty cool! Just gotta get rid of three more to meet my very lowest, and then 6 more after that to my surgeon's goal. Let me tell you, if I ever see the magic numbers of 154 I will be squealing like a good un!

Glad to see your updates, great to know that I am not alone on the quest!

Keep em coming!

Walk over to the wharf and have a crab cocktail from the Stagnaros walk up window. 3 oz. of dungeness is 93 calories and packs 19 grams of Protein. Top it with a smidge of cocktail sauce and some lemon. Yum!
