13 + months post op, entering maintenance (pics)

[lilbearzmom 584]

Hi all,

Although I spend most of my time over at MyFitnessPal, I still check in here on a regular basis. I am done purposely losing, and attempting maintenance, using the MyFitnessPal app and website. It's a HUGE reason behind my successful weight loss. I just finsihed the Whole30, where I lost my last 5 lbs and spent a month eating 100% clean- no dairy, grains, or legumes, just whole foods. Along the way I learned how to read labels. During maintenanceI am focusing on eating "clean", and following a mostly "paleo" diet, avoiding highly processed foods in favor of healthy fats, vegetables and fruit, lean meat, eggs, no artificial sweeteners, limited full fat dairy, and eating organic when available and affordable. I do kickboxing, Zumba, and C25k. I am looking into starting strength training because with all the shoveling snow I have had to do lately, it's obvious I lost more than fat.

I hope everyone continues to do well- I am so glad I did it. It saved my life.

I'm on myfitnesspal too, but that is where the similarity stops.......your food mantra is way over my head. All I do there is cuss out the chart for lying. At the end of each page is that infernal prediction of what I'll weigh in 5 weeks. I must not be human, cause it ain't happening..... Curse these damn stalls.

Oh I know- that is pretty annoying! I usually look at the number and think, yeah- that would be nice! Then dismiss it. NONE of my days are exactly the same and neither is my calorie count, so what's the point? LOL add me if you want (anyone can, for that matter) my username is lilbearzmom.
