A little under 5 months out and 100 lbs lost!

[sleevie.wonder 306]

Today is a big day for me. I've lost 100 lbs. Such a crazy number to me. I really weighed 100 lbs more than this?! No wonder why I was so miserable! I'd love to lose another 50 lbs, but if I only lose another 40 that would be just fine with me. I will be five months out on the 5th.

I know everyone writes this, but the sleeve surgery has been the best decision I ever made for myself. It's nice finally caring about myself again. Not to mention clothes shopping has become fun instead of torture! I love that I can still eat pretty much whatever, but I'm done after 5 bites. Making healthier decisions has become second nature to me. I am in this for the long haul! There is no way I am going back to over 300 lbs.

Here are some pics:

To anyone still on the fence about the surgery: go for it.

What did u do to loose the weight......besides the sleeve.

Making good choices when it comes to food, I stop eating when I feel the first signal of feeling full, no snacking, lots of Water, moderate walking, etc. Need to get myself in an exercise routine though.

Some days it's only for 20 mins. Some days it's a busy day (shopping, Disneyland, etc) and I am walking all day. I work a desk job so getting up and active has been hard for me. I'm sure my skin would be looking a lot better had I been exercising everyday!

WoW! You look great! What do you eat on a typical day?

WoW! You look great! What do you eat on a typical day?

Ty! A typical day usually consists of Protein for breakfast: either a scrambled egg or a turkey sausage patty. lunch is usually pretty random day to day. Usually some type of chicken. I love wraps since bread and I don't get along well anymore. Maybe chicken or tuna salad. dinner could be a turkey patty, chicken w/ brown rice, an oz of whole wheat spaghetti with a turkey meatball, turkey/chicken taco, etc. I basically eat normal meals but healthier versions and much less. I try and work veggies into meals as well.

Overall I keep carbs down to a minimum, but nothing like Atkins or anything.
