And not to mention the encouragement that goes on amongst us. I've never experienced anything like it...even amongst my family. It's awesome.
I think if we continue to listen to our dr's, nuts, and take the good advice from each other...we're destined to win! I know I feel like an extraordinary winner every time I step on the scale...so Jill Scott said it best when she said, "hate on me haters!!"...
Guess what...we're still STANDING!!...and walking, running, swimming, cardio AND MOST OF ALL LOSING....we're doing BIG THANGS!!
I don't believe that's true for one minute. In fact, that amount of calories won't sustain a healthy body and will, most likely, shut down your fat burning and throw your body into starvation mode- especially later on.
My doctor told me I should be getting 1000-1200 calories a day. I try to get 1000 but don't always get there.
The year prior to surgery I was eating 1400 calories a day and that was satisfying with a normal sized stomach. I was losing slowly but had other issues inhibiting weight loss.
When I get 9-12 months out I'm going to pay to have the Med Gem test to determine my resting metabolic rate so I can find out what the optimum number of calories I need to lose and/or maintain my weight based on my metabolism. It's supposed to be a fantastic source of information but it costs $125 and is not covered by insurance.
Julyer's Rock!
