11 week progress check

I will be 11 weeks out tomorrow. The last time I weighed I was down 42.6lbs and 4 sizes in clothes. I still struggle with my protein and water ... but try everyday to increase my amounts. I am building up my exercise program on a daily basis so hopefully that will help eliminate all of the stalls I seem to have ... Lets hear your story too

You are doing great. It is really hard to get in the water. I have a tip for the protein.....South Beach Diet makes frozen dinners and wraps they have a lot of protein. I had one today for lunch that had 30 grams of protein. It was really good. It had chicken and broccoli. I had a little trouble getting the wrap down. I weighed today for my 12 weeks. I have lost 55 lbs since surgery. If you try the South Beach Diet meals, let me know if you like them. I looked some coupons online, but didn't find any. Good luck. Keep up the great work.

I do like the Lean Pockets and Lean Pocket Subs ... although I can typically only eat half (and the other half about 2 hours later). That is about 15g of protein. I made veal marsala tonight for dinner ... it was good but the veal was kinda tough so it was hard to heat. We generally eat a lot of fish or chicken so I can try to get my protein in. All a learning experience ... lol 55lbs is awesome. Feels good huh?!? I can't believe I'm in my 16's again. Feels so awesome!!

Nice progress Christine! Sounds like you know what you need to do, so my best wishes for you to get tha****er and protein in. Just had the flu for the past week, and it was misery trying to eat protein. Just made me nauseous. Better now though. I'll post my 3 month numbers/photo this week. Congrats again! Mike

Glad to hear you are doing better!! I am hoping to make it without getting the flu ... the headcold was bad enough for nausea LOL Can't wait to see the new pics!! I really made an effort to track my food and exercise on www.dailyplate.com and realized I wasn't doing as bad with my proteins as I thought. I am getting about 50 in a day (I am supposed to have 68) but I thought I was in the 30's so I'm better than I thought at least!! I am also now able to drink the Special K protein water again (the too sweet phase must be over ... for now lol). Hopefully I can get outside and workout now that the weather is getting a little warmer!
