Topic: RE: Post them pictures!
You look great! I haven't been good about taking pictures, I did take a before picture but it's on a different camera and i've never uploaded it. I have pictures from a Halloween party that we went to the other day, I will post one of those when i'm on the right computer even though it won't show a great comparison like yours do. ;) Love the skirt and top in your most recent picture, it looks great on you.

Topic: RE: MARCHERS! how many calories?
I know exactly what you are saying...this has been an awesome 7 months!! I can't believe it was a year ago and I was just getting started on the process of having surgery...and now, I'm down 120 lbs!
I looked at your profile and you look awesome!! You have done a great job with your weight loss....keep up the good work!! You must feel great! I started at 300 lbs and am down to 181. I'd like to get to 140-150 but I've been on this stall for 3 weeks now!! It's ******g me off - LOL. I'm going to increase my liquids and see how that goes.
Take care!

hey girl :)
i posted this on the r n y board too and so far from the responses i got 1000 sounds about good.
i heard not getting enough liquid can cause you to retain water and causes stall or weight gain.
also i read recently you could work out TOO MUCH (imagine that!) it could also cause stall. they suggested amount is just 30 minutes a day of cardio. you dont want to over load your body.
yeah ive starting journaling everything myself lately too. i think when i dont write down what im putting in my mouth i can get careless. i have to remind myself sometimes what ive been thru the past 7 months, and why!
i cant believe i can forget sometimes that we've been thru this whole life changing journey, when its been so hard!
have a good one!

Topic: RE: MARCHERS! how many calories?
OMG, I was just wondering this myself and was going to post something on the RNY board. I've been at a stall now for 3 weeks!! So I was thinking....maybe I'm eating too many calories......or maybe NOT ENOUGH calories :-) It's so confusing sometimes keeping track of protien, vitamins, liquids, calories...ugh. I started keeping track this week just to see exactly where I'm at.
I get in about 80-120 grams of protein a day. Fluids, not so good....40-70 oz at most! I'm working on that because that may be the cause of my stall?? Calories, I average around 900 a day. I would say anywhere between 700-1000 and I exercise 5 days a week.
I don't think 800 calories a day is too much at all, if anything, I think itis too little!
Hope others reply too because I have been wondering the same thing as you and will be curious to see how many calories others are eating!
Take care

thanks so much! and you just actually made me remember that i have to reschedule my rmr! 2x thanks!!
Topic: RE: MARCHERS! how many calories?
I definitely would not think that 800 calories at 7 months out would be too much, in fact I would guess that you should be getting in more calories than that. I'm not sure how many calories a day I eat, it varies day to day and I don't often sit down and write it all out to figure it out. The nut wrote about 900 calories a day at my appointment as what she thinks I'm getting in, but I would say that some days I probably only get 800 to 900 calories, but other days I definitely have more than that, probably 1100 or 1200. I however, have had my metabolism tested and my RMR is really quite slow, most people would probably still lose on even more than 1200 calories a day, many settle at around 1300 to 1400 a day eventually for weight loss and have to bump their calories up higher than that to maintain.

how many calories do you eat in a day normally? or are you still just focusing on protein?
im able to eat things now and not get sick, more carbs and this scares the **** out of me.
ive started writing everything down again, and my nut has never given me a cal goal im suppose to be meeting.
im totally rockin the protein, ive never had a problem with that, im just concerned maybe 800 is too much?
anybody have any input?

Pre-Op 314, Surgery Day 304, Goal 165
Don't get discouraged. You are losing and that's what really matters. I went for my 6 month post-op follow up yesterday. Doc says my blood work came back perfect. I also went in for a consult with a plastic surgeon about skin removal. It looks like my insurance will pay for the panni and I will have to pay for the tummy tuck but that is a while off from now. I would like to lose another 25-30 pounds and maintain it for a while. Keep up the good work everyone! You are all doing amazing!
