Starting Weight 492
Day of Surgery: 472

Yes It's offical, I've lost a man...where did he go? I still have no idea..lol.
My goal for month 7: EXERCISE. Yes thats right, my goal is to actually get my less fat butt to the gym and work it out at least 3 times a week. I have been working out at least 1 time a week sometimes 2 times, but i know i really need to go 3 or 4 times a week at this point.
Hows my eating at this point, it's pretty good.
I'm drinking 1-2 protein drinks a day
I eat about 1500-1800 calories on average a day (high protein, high fat, lower carb, i'd lie if i said i was eating low carb, because even as we speak the homemade cookie crumbs are falling out of my mouth..lol...but i do eat lower carb)
It was funny today i went out with a friend for lunch. She ordered a chicken caeser salad and took off all the crutons, only at 2 tsp of dressing; I sat there and ate the best cobb salad i've ever had. It had 1/2 an avacado in it, lots of real strips of bacon, chunks of regular bleu cheese, grilled chicken and eggs of course i smothered it in about 1/2 a cup of extra chunky bleu cheese dressing. My friend, kept telling me how much fat was in the food i was eating, and all i could think was "don't you know this is a healthy meal for a DSer".

Wow! Good for you Scott! Way to go. I am also six months out as of the 14th. I am down 102 since surgery and 152 total. I've lost a whole person as well...do you think they are wandering aimlessly together? lol.... Isn't it great to be able to enjoy food that is good for you. Keep up the great work.
