Yes....low on Protein an Water intake

I find it challenging but just keep at it. I know i dont meet all of my Protein or Water but i just do what i can. I do make an effort to only put protein in my mouth. You will get it. I use Protein Bars to help.

I understand what you mean. I was fine when I was home' date=' had no problems getting the walks in. Once I started back to my regular routine, it is tough to get the exercise in. I work a lot but now it's summer and I can probably manage a better workout schedule. Keep up the good work with your eating, my doctor said its the most important thing, Protein and water![/quote']

Thanks

Four years ago at her e8th grade graduation

We were both at our heaviest

You guys look great! And you will be an inspiration to your daughter, I know you are proud of her. With her seeing how you guys take care of yourselves, she will live a fuller life. They may not say it, but they worry about us too. My daughter was instrumental in supporting me to have the surgery. I think about being here and being healthy so I can be a part of her future, and possibly have some grandchildren. I don't want her to live her life stressed out about my health and who will take care of me if I was unable to get around because of being overweight.

My sweaty post work out pic. As of today 31.8lb down!

Some pre and now pics. Kinda sad I hated myself so badly cause my weight I really have no pics of myself in years. It's like I've been living on the outskirts of my life.

Looking great!

I'm in a bit of a pickle.... I only took one week off of work so my short term disability would not have to kick in. I did this because every person that takes short term disability at my job gets fired when they come back. I work from home so when I had complications, I just rested. Well the week I was out, no one covered for me so all my stuff blew up then when I came back they did not give me a chance to catch up. Now I still have chronic diarrhea tmi sorry but I feel I spend half my day on the toilet. My job told me if I'm not caught up in 30 days I will lose my job.. I don't know what to do!

Haven't been on in awhile. I am so frustrated!! I have been stalled for 2 weeks now. I hit a 40 lb loss then BAM!!! Hit a wall and completely stopped!!!

Just keep doing what you are supposed to do and it will eventually stop. When I was on a stall I tried so hard to stay calm and focus. I wasn't getting enough Water in so I upped that and even increased my Protein. That seemed to help me.

Pulled muscles on the left side of my tummy has flared up pretty bad for the last two days. So frustrating to be in pain and at work trying to be nice to people over the phone. Arg...
