Who is in March?

[sleevie.wonder 306]

I'm 6 wks out now & absolutely thrilled with my progress. Absolutely no food issues & now on full diet. I walk a 5k each day and do gym 3x a day. I feel it's time for me to move on with my life now. Good luck to all the March Sleevers! I only have time for my blog postings but I will check in here every 3 or 4 months if I have time. GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL ON YOUR JOURNEYS!

Nice!!

I start solid (well, normal) food tomorrow. So anxious, I feel like it's going to be weird. What kind of stuff are you planning on eating? What is your meal size? I still can only eat like not even 1/8 of a cup. It's like 4 small bites and I'm stuffed . Like today I had one saltine cracker with a little chicken salad on it and that made me full. For dinner it was a couple bites of chicken. Thats all I've had today aside from Water and it still feels like I just got back from an all you can eat buffet! This restriction is just more than I ever anticipated. I can tell my body is hungry even though I don't feel hunger. When I get full off a couple bites I get frustrated and say noooo I don't want to be full yet!

Ugh. Rant over lol. Good news is that I am 6 weeks out today . I had a "scary" dream last night that I ate a hamburger and other junk and never got full. What a nightmare lol.

I've been stalled for the past two weeks. I'm trying to keep positive. Any suggestions. I go to the gym 3 days a week and walk daily for an hour. I do have a difficult time consuming my liquids. My average Water I take is 36-42 ounces. Does that have anything to do with it?

Water will help flush bulk on out, but as long as you are working the program, it's working on you. I usually find that when the scales don't move, there is a bigger change in my size. Grab some pants that were too tight a couple of weeks ago and check the fit. The scale is an important tool, but it's not the only measuring tool to focus on.

Wow, I totally agree. Water is great. I am stalled at 32lbs lost but down 2 sizes. One size during the stall. So it is important to use all tools. Bring out those clothes you saved because you were going to lose those few pounds. They will fit and the ego boost is amazing!

I'm 3 weeks out & only able to get in about the same amount of water. If i get in 3 Protein Shakes, i only get in about 20 oz of water.

How did everyone do today for Easter? Of course my family had a huge luncheon. food looked amazing but I managed. I had a (half portion) deviled egg, a tiny piece of ham (probably the size of a silver dollar), and a couple halves of strawberries. The only thing I splurged on was a forkful of my mom's lasagna. I was stuffed! It is so weird feeling like I ate SO MUCH yet looking back I barely had anything. I skipped the appetizers and sweets.

Hope everyone had a nice Easter nonetheless.
