[miko 21]

Hello everyone

I am one month away from my yearly anniversary . I am so happy to announce that I have lost 159 lbs . From 309 lbs to 150 lbs . I am now at a stage that I literally struggle and have to eat more just to maintain this weight . The key is , be careful what you do eat .

Wow well done! Just starting this journey and taking all the good advice I can get from those who are so successful. I have changed my mind set completely I don't want to be back where I was ever. I need to start working on the fitness part now lol. Thanks for you inspiring post.

lost 159 lbs .

miko

there are times that people will say they "lost" their keys, or wallet, stuff like that

they don't know where an item is

they want to/need to find "it"

you know what happened to your weight

so I'm getting silly, but you haven't lost "it" - you got rid of it on purpose!!!!

159 lbs!!!!

omg

kathy

congrats

Very true

I don't intend to find it either so yes I got rid of it.

Thanks to all and am glad I found this app cause there were weeks where I needed answers and found them by reading the post that others experienced.

That is incredible. You should be so very proud if yourself. In just starting my journey. I was sleeved on August 27th. Please share some of your wisdom that you have learned over the year. How did you stay motivated? What are your favorite meals? Did you exercise if so when did you start? Peace.

Well as you probably know , you should be walking everyday . Now , as far as my meals .

The first month or so , I stayed on the liquid diet .

After that I started on boiled vegetables . Along with my shakes . 4 month , I started on the cheese and dairy and meats like broiled chicken or broiled steaks I would eat my Protein first 1/2 ounce then I was full . I was told not to by others but , I did anyways . For the first couple of months I would only eat 1/4 cup each meal . Water 45 min before and 45 to an hour after each meal . I usually drink gator aid . Just to stay hydrated .

6 months after I noticed that my meal size went to 1/2 cup of food . I ate anything with the exception of bread or soda . I noticed that , i have a taste for dry fruit and nuts . i usually keep a jar that i mixed (from walmart) of fruit and nuts like almonds and pistachios . little cashews just to snack if i became hungry in between meals .Stay focused on eating 3 meals per day So that it becomes a habit . Now , my meal size is almost a cup of food . I take my measuring cup everywhere I go . That is my tool . ( get to know your measuring cups) it may look funny or strange to some but I careless what they think . As long as I eat the right portion of what I'm suppose too its all good .
