4 Months And Loving It

[Star1221 270]

So I am officially 4 months and 1 day out today. It's been a journey to say the least. Not any issues with the sleeve, just the head part of it. I know I have lost a lot weight (89 including pre-op) but I mentally still see myself as what I looked like before. But, I have went from a size 22/24 to a size 14, I went from 285 to 196, I weigh less than I did in Jr high, and weigh less than my husband does (by 5 pounds thank you lol). It takes a lot to accept the compliments from others, but I have got to say, I like the attention.

I work out at least 4 days a week for 60-90 minutes. I eat almost only Protein, though I can say I don't really watch calories. As long as I know my carbs are down, and I get all my liquid, I know weight will eventually move. Just know that this journey is not easy, but I would do it a 1000 times over.

I would've put full body pics up, but the only before pics are only in bra and pants LOL. Other than that, never really allowed full body shots.

I drink a shake every morning. Could I eat what I need to get my protein, yes. But I get up at 2:30, gym from 4-5, work at 6-3, then home to take care of my 18 month old. So it's convenient lol. I was at 5 weeks when I stalled. I stalled for 4 weeks. Just up your fluids, protein first, and exercise. It will fall off again. During that time I saw my BODY change, even though the scale was at a stand still.

I drink premiere. I get it from Sam's Club. As for loose skin... Still working on that. It's the main reason I work on abs and lift weights so much. Still loose though. But I heard it draws up more with time

Not only do you look great, you look HEALTHY! Way to go!!!

Looking good! I love to see people in the places I want to go. I am working on getting thru the process now and come here to get ideas and even more motivation. I then go home and wrestle around my own little 15 month old boy and that just makes me even more determined.

Congrats on the loss and keep it up!
