4 Week Update!!!

Well, it is hard to believe but I am 4 weeks and 1 day out now.... I am eating soft foods now and I never thought I would look forward to lunch of turkey spam.. LOL... But it tastes awesome.... I am getting in my required 60 - 80 grams of protein every day and sometimes more... and I think I am getting in all my water, I am peeing like a fountain, so I would think that I am. I have opened bottles of water everywhere in the house and in the car, so that if I forget to take it with me.. I have it... so that makes it hard to actually keep track, but I am drinking all day long, with the exception of half an hour before/after meals. My total weight loss it now at 31 pounds and I am going to do my measurements today as well to see how that is going. I was stalled for about a week and a half, but things are moving again for me. I am glad I did this and I am seeing such great results so soon.. I started going to the gym yesterday. I am hoping to go at least 4 times a week, as my busy schedule with kids will let me. I am just doing the treadmill and the recumbent bike for now until I get cleared to do more from my doctor. I couldn't believe how much I was able to do. I was pretty proud of myself. Well, that is about it. All is well here and I hope everyone else is doing good as well. Shawn M.

Shawn, YOU are doing great! Congrats! 31 pounds yippee! Itsn't amazing to feel the results! keep up the great work ... you will be even more amazed when you take your measurements! hugs, Britt

Thanks so much Britt!!! I will be doing my measurements soon. I am sure I will be floored when I see how much is actually gone... Shawn M.

How exciting! Congratulations!

Thanks Sophia!!! Shawn M.

Awesome!!! I need to start excercising too, sounds like you're way ahead of me! Marilyn

Thanks Marilyn.... I don't know about being way ahead of you... I am just walking on the treadmil right now... I have to get cleared to do more than that... I am sure you are doing just fine.... Shawn M.

How in the world are you getting all that protein in, and the liquids? I barely get in 50 protein and that includes protein drinks. And I can only get about 30 oz of liquids a day. Tell me the secret.

I don't have a secret... I just keep track of my protein... I drink 1 or 2 protein drinks a day... depending on the food I have eaten and if I need the protein still... and I sip... sip... sip.. all day long... I am used to drinking about 100 oz. a day... so it really isn't much of a challeng to drink 64.... it is more of a challenge to not drink too fast... LOL... Shawn M.

Wow Shawn that is great! You are really losing! I bet you are on cloud 9 after that check up. I see my doc in about an hour. I think I'm down about 22 lbs. Not nearly as much as you. I have stalled the last couple of days. I'm trying to stay positive. I also had some dizziness yesterday, so I pushed the fluids. Today I got caught eating mindlessly and I ate too fast. I thought I was going to puke! Even went into the bathroom, but I didn't. That passed in about 1/2 hour. But it was a miserable 1/2 hour! What protein are you eating/drinking to get so much in? I am on some whey isolate powder from GNC that I get down pretty easily. It's 60 mg for the full 3 scoops, so I'm only doing 2 scoops, because I know I can't absorb more than that at once anyway. The rest of my protein is from lunchmeats and cheese. I love cheese. Anyway, I'm so happy to hear of your report. WAY TO GO!
