Thank you so much, I'm trying to work this New lifestyle. I just checked the Bmi calculator and it said 27.1 so.....

To be honest I don't weigh my food at all and I just started tracking it on my phone fitness app. For Breakfast I have oatmeal with a banana in it or a turkey sausage link and a boiled or scrambles egg, then aboit 30min later a cup of Decaf coffee with some Premier Protein drink in it. For lunch I'll do a salad or some chicken salad, or hummus with flaxseed tortilla chips. For dinner I may do Soup or another salad. I usually snack on cashews, almonds a d apples and Peanut Butter.

Thats really intresting your diet does not seem as solid as i would expect for 5 months out , do you not eat other meats than chicken? and is the salad on its own no Protein? thanks very much it worked for you!! i need to mix it up abit

My "diet" is not the best and never has been, the only difference is that now I eat waaaaay less and I stay away from sweets, fried foods and carbs. When I have salads I eat them with a boiled egg, and it chicken. I TRY to get some sort of Protein with each meal.

When did you have surgery and what are your stats?

You are doing good.... You're still in the early phases. TRUST me, it will speed up and I guarantee that you are losing inches and don't even realize it... STEP AWAY FROM THE chips Lol
