Oh Congrats to you!!! this is all so exciting.I love this new tool.

My rny was 8/26 and I sstarted slowing down on the weight loss a few weeks ago. I just hit 102lbs lost after staying at 99 for what seemed like forever. I went from 304 to 202....wearing 24's and 26's to 16's (mostly.) I've got 48lbs to go to get to my goal and I know it's gonna be a huge test for me to rid myself of the last of the "old" me. I stepped up the exercise -- I do Pilates every other day and hit my treadmill for 30-45 minutes daily. I started walking at lunchtime for about 15-20 minutes now that the weather has gotten better. I think once I did that, the weight started to fall off. More than that, though, I've seen a big difference in clothing size. I found myself go from a 20 to a 16 in no time flat after I ramped up my exercise regimen. Guage your loss in inches and not pounds. As for food, I try to eat 6 times a day....usually high protein cereal with a few strawberries and hot tea for breakfast. My morning snack is 1/3 cup of roasted soy nuts -- 11 grams of protein in that serving!!! Lunch is either a small salad w/ some grated cheese and oil/vinegar or a 3 oz can of tuna with a few whole wheat crackers. Afternoon snack is a small vanilla yogurt with a few slices of banana. My dinner is a small chicken breast or a Boca burger with homemade thousand island dressing. And my evening snack is a glass of milk. I can't handle protein shakes any more so I try to have protein in every meal...or sprinkle unflavored whey protein in whatever I'm eating. I drink water, decaf iced tea, Fruit 2 O, and Crystal light lemonade. I always have a water bottle in one hand!!! I realized early on that I have to be fully conscious of what food I put in front of me. Don't get me wrong -- I have my days where I crave a snickers bar and I MUST HAVE CHOCOLATE!!!! I have a snickers from January in my freezer--I cut it into 1 inch pieces and stuck it in the freezer for when I have a choco attack....the 1 piece cures the need and I'm satisfied. I know what'll happen if I eat the entire thing -- and I have no desire to dump!!! Keep up the great work....you'll be fine!! Don't think of what was.....imagine what will be. It's not how far you fall....it's how high you bounce!! Freda

Congrats .. you are doing great. Try to up your calories to around 1,000-1,200 and protein to at least 80 grams. My Dr. says you will slow down really fast if you don't up your intake of calories since your body thinks you are starving it. Keep up the good work!

Happy Anniversary to us. Good to hear how well you're doing. I'm down 99# and just waiting to join the "Century Club" Hugs
