newu2014 15 Posted January 21, 2014 So I totally hate taking my monthly progress pics. I don't know why. You would think I would look forward to it. I think I just worry that I won't see any progress and sabotage myself. Anyway..... I took some tonight. I've been wearing the same clothes each time, but I had to wear a different shirt this time because the original one hung off me. SO..... 77.4 pounds later, 55 more to go, here I am at 4 months post op. Great job...What Did u eat or What are u eating? 1 livvsmum reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
livvsmum 2,369 Posted January 21, 2014 Click on your name at the top of the screen, go to "my profile" and select "tickers" from the tabs on the left. You can do a weight one, a count down or up from surgery, a bmi one, etc. Great job! Congratulations on your noticeable weight loss. I'm only 6.5 weeks out; hope I do as well as you. Good for you Q: HOW do I get that 'Body Weight Ticker' thing on my posts? Thanks in advance to any reply. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
livvsmum 2,369 Posted January 21, 2014 you were beautiful to start but now you can just see the confidence oozing out of you!!! Congrats. Can you talk a bit about your diet/exercise routine and why you think you may have been so successful in such a short time....your an inspiration. Thanks!!

SO..... 77.4 pounds later, 55 more to go, here I am at 4 months post op. Great job...What Did u eat or What are u eating? You guys are awesome and such an encouragement!!! I just took these pics after being in a 3 week stall and was feeling pretty discouraged, so you all are a huge pick-me-up! Thankfully the scale started moving again and I entered ONERDERLAND today. Woohooo!!!! Anyway, to answer your questions...... I use myfitnesspal.com to track EVERY SINGLE THING I eat or drink. It helps me learn what works and what doesn't. I keep it simple really. I stick to my Protein goals (65-75g per day), Water goals (at least 8 8-oz glasses), and keep my carbs 30 or under, and low sugars/fats. As far as exercise, I really am only doing cardio for the time. I'm training for a 5K in April, so that has been my focus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Water Nazi 61 Posted January 21, 2014 You look great! What stands out for me (and most peoples before/after pics) is the eyes. The eyes appear bigger as the face gets smaller. They also shine extra bright with happiness. Good job girl! I'm two weeks from today! Super excited. W 1 livvsmum reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
