My nut actually had me increase my calories to 1000, so that doesn't feel way off base to me.

Still tracking food. Still at about the 1300-1400 calorie a day mark. Still not following the program 100%. I think the rebel in me can't follow directions 100%. This scares me a bit because it's what has always caused problems for me. So I am eating my Protein first and most meals / food is good for me. However, I am adding in some sweets and can't seem to get back to a place where this doesn't happen. I'm taking a DBT skills class which is really helpful regarding mindfulness and distress tolerance, etc. I'm working out and can really see changes in my 55 year old body. I LIKE it! Have just lost about 2.5 pounds this month. Down to 182. I don't post much but I do love reading how everyone is doing so thanks and here's a quote I found recently that I love;

Giving up on a goal because of a setback is like slashing your other 3 tires because you got a flat.

HI everyone, it was awesome reading all the current statuses keep up the great work.
I was sleeved October 27, 2016 in Boston, Massachusetts
5'4 29 years old
S/W 244 lbs
C/W 194 lbs
Down 50 lbs
I've been @ a stall for about a month now.
I try to get 1000 calories a day since I find my body feels at its best when I do.
Water intake has been a problem since day one and still continues but working on it.
My goal is another 40-50 lbs by my 1 years anniversary.

I was sleeved October 27 at 299 pounds. Today I'm at 228.

Today I ate:
Organic light string cheese
Small handful of grapes
2oz salmon with a couple green Beans and tiny slices of potato
6 chocolate covered almonds
Coffee
Another 1oz of salmon

This is a pretty typical day. I never, ever go below 60 G Protein and never over (or very close) to 1000 cal.

I am down about 55 lbs. Sleeved Oct. 3. Am babysitting grandchildren so I haven't been able to weigh for a week. Anxious to see if I have gone up or down. My big question is how everyone is doing with Hair loss? ??? Mine has been really shedding for about 3 weeks. Any cheer on when it will start filling back in??? And does it affect your eyelashes??? I swear mine are disappearing. I am going to ask this on the main site also so hopefully, someone who is farther along can give us some wisdom. Love seeing how every one is doing. Even if my hair is thinning significantly, I am so happy with my health, energy and body. Having to buy clothes now......Fitting into a medium makes me so happy.

I am absolutely loving myself now. This is the best I have felt in a really long time. Only got 42lbs to go until goal.

I was sleeved 10/13. High weight 260, surgery weight was 242, current weight is 168. That's a 74lb loss in just under 5 months. I'm running or doing some other form of high intensity workouts 5-6 days a week. I also follow the diet extremely closely and track every calorie I eat. I'm one of the unlucky/lucky people who dumps anytime I consume sweets or simple carbs. Ice cream, sweet Cereal, bread, Pasta it all makes me feel like I'm dying so I just don't touch it. I'm feeling amazing! Congratulations to everyone else on your amazing transformations!
