I finally lost 100lbs since surgery.
Well Sunday the 19th was my 8 month anniversary and I wanted it to happen then but finally today the scale said 195.4 I started out trying to get approved at 321lbs and the day of surgery I was 295lbs. Total loss of 126lbs. I lurk on this July board every day but don't post very often. I going to start posting along with many other things. I made up my mind Sunday that I needed to get back to the basics. I have tested the waters way to much. I don't dump, lord I wish I did. Anyway yesterday was the first day I was really putting in all my effort of doing everything right. Walked 3 flights of stairs up to my office, ate protein, protein and more protein. Usually I have a low carb slim fast for breakfast (start work at 7am) but I deceided to start eating ff cottage cheese and a low fat cheese stick so it actually feels like I ate something. As usual someone brought in goodies from over the weekend but this time I didn't even take a bite, even though they were calling my name all day. I increased my fluilds and charted my calories and protein. I worked late til 7pm and by the time I got home and cooked dinner I was just to tried to go for a walk, but today is the day for starting to exercise more. I love all you guys and even though I don't post very often I keep up with you all everyday. I want to change that to, posting I mean. You guys are to funny and Tim is great with all these women. I have 45 to 55lbs to go I need lots of support. You guys are my support team, thanks for keeping me laughing. Here's to more posting! Have a great day.

Well, nice to finally 'meet' ya, Katie. My 8th Anniversary is coming up in 8 days and I am hoping to hit 100 by then as well. You have done great on your journey. Very proud of you!! Getting back to basics is a good thing. For me the struggle is getting in enough calories during the day especially since I exercise a lot. For me, drinking my protein is fine, and I do, but I also make sure I get in some good meat proteins everyday. Glad you find our antics, funny, and hope that you know that we are here for you whenever you need us. Hope to see more of ya.
