bigloser2014 144 Posted August 1, 2014 I had my surgery on May 9th. It's 12 weeks today! Time flies! Here is the official report: HW: 265 (4 wks before Surgery) SW: 239 CW: 209 Dress size: 22w to 14/16 My post surgery wt. loss is not as fast as some. But I am very happy! It is headed in the right direction! And the total wt. loss in last 4 months is close to 60 lbs! No complains from me! NSVs: Started wt. training and loving it! Started Couch to 5k. On wk. 2. Day 2 At lowest wt. in almost 16 years Compliments/comments that made me feel great: Hey girl! You are shrinking! Looks like someone is bringing the sexy back here! food goals: Kept below 800 cals a day on non-exercise day Upto 1000 on exercise days Carbs no more than 70 gms on exercise & 40-50 on no exercise days Protein intake: 80-110 per day Here is the biggest one: I HAVE LOGGED MY food IN MFP FOT 80 DAYS IN A ROW! hair loss: There is some so far only when I shower. I use Organic coconut oil couple of times a week. I massage it in gently and wash my hair in the morning. Hoping for the best. I will take the temporary Hair loss to have a chance at permanent weight loss! Other: No weakness, no surgery pains/complications. Hoping for continued downwards journey and support from this wonderful community! 8 astraphile, Wynnie, missbrown30 and 5 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cody's mom 247 Posted August 1, 2014 (edited) What is couch to 5k, are you training for a 5K run (or walk)? I think your doing amazing! What kind of protien shakes are you using? Edited August 1, 2014 by Cody's mom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigloser2014 144 Posted August 1, 2014 It's a 5k run training program. I downloaded a free app for it on my iPhone. It's the best way to do interval training of walks mixed in with runs, 8 weeks long. At the end of that, I will be able to run a 5k. Let's see! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
