[The New Kel 1,312]

Congratulations @msw!

My 1 year was Oct 3rd. Hit goal around late August and feel terrific! Seriously a new life being lives here. I have been running and training for 5k races and someday, a 10k. After a year, I have learned how to manage my body when it comes to what I eat versus my activity, and have found that I actually have the controls in hand. I am maintaining my goal but will try to get more fit and toned, perhaps losing 5 more lbs but I'm really happy as I am!

Hope you are are well!!

Hi everyone!
Seems like we’re all doing good
I hit my goal and I’m trying to maintain now. So far, so good.
Starting and surgery weight: 292
Goal weight: 185
Today: 187

I had skin removal surgery and they took off the last 15lbs and got me to my goal in August.

I eat 5-6 times a day. 3 meals and 3 Snacks. I don’t stress about food and eat in moderation. Including sweets and carbs! I do limit gluten and dairy as much as possible as I have sensitivities to them (pre surgery condition).

I currently don’t exercise very much as I’m a full time university student, and work 20 hours a week running a psychiatry clinic, plus I run after my 2.5 year old and husband. Planning to step it up in January when I’m done school.


 

Wow!!! You look great!! And your haircut is adorable as wel!! Congrats! :-)
