jailynn 49 Posted May 20, 2012 For the first time in over ten years I ordered a dress AND I wore shorts yesterday!! I've had lots of small NSV over the past nine months but this has to be my biggest accomplishment. I have my 25 year class reunion this July (that I never would have attended fat) AND I'm running a 5K in three weeks!! I've gotten under my chosen goal of losing 80 lbs having gone from 206 lbs to 122!! I feel awesome....I have self confidence that I didn't know could exist....the simplest things give me pleasure and I can even enjoy things that doesn't center around food...I'll go shopping and lunch is the furthest thing from my mind!! Everyone enjoy the journey....I am!! 6 petal, shellbell33081, Musharooni and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joni 94 Posted May 20, 2012 jailynn - what does a typical food day look like for you?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jailynn 49 Posted May 20, 2012 I probably don't eat as I should, but I eat a way that works for me....every morning I have a slice of Peanut Butter toast...at around 10 AM I have a Nature Valley Protein Bar (yum)...12:30 is half a PB&J sandwich....maybe at 3 I'll have a piece of string cheese or an orange....I have whatever I fix my family for supper......and in the evenings I usually always have a TCBY frozen yogurt bar and I always always have my 2.5 cups of white cheddar popcorn. I get around 1200 - 1400 calories a day, but I lack Protein (usually getting around 50-60 grams). I eat whatever I want but ALWAYS count my calories on Myfitnesspal.com (which I love). On the weekends I still stay within my calorie range but I'll include a trip to DQ (mini blizzards are great) or whatever treat we're indulging in....but again, I always count the calories. 1 Joni reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joni 94 Posted May 20, 2012 Will you share your fitness pal name? I'm really looking for mentors in the way of eating, tracking, etc. I follow Lissa and Dorrie right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jailynn 49 Posted May 20, 2012 I'll have to play with it...as I don't use myfitnesspal for anything but counting my calories.....I don't have a public 'thingy'...but I'll look into it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jailynn 49 Posted May 20, 2012 I think my 'name' is jamie56lbs....i know it's crazy I don't know this for sure..but I only used it as a tool for calorie counting. You can add me though....might be fun and informative, however, I'm not really sure how to use it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
