8 weeks out... report

Today I'm out  8 weeks out from surgery. 

I'm still in 2x pants but about a size 20  (down from 24) in sized pants
tops have gone from 3x to 1x ( I"m mostly belly)
folks are starting to comment that I look thinner...


I've lost just over 25 pounds in 8 weeks...  I wi**** was more but as a lightweight it's about right.  If I want to lose 100 pounds I'm right on track to do that!

now for what I'm eating..

protein drink in the car in the morning

breakfast:  cottage cheese about 3 oz
lunch:   varies but high protein and some veggies
snack:  turkey jerky and/or cheese
dinner:  protein veggie and starch  (a bit of each)

my protein is between 60 and 80 per day  (about 70 most days)
fluids are at least 64 oz
getting all my supplements and vitamins

today the gym bag is packed and I have yoga after work...

I wish i was losing faster but I'll take what I can get....

Oh wow this is great. I hope your loss continues. Looks like you are eating well. I hope to be on  the losing end one day.

Thanks Julie.  I hope you are too... YOU deserve it!

You're doing wonderfully, you really are. Hang in there! The best is yet to come babes.

Thanks Nik.

without you and your magic protein shake recipes I'd be lost...

yup keep working your tool and things will happen. i understand wanting it to fall off but eventually you will get where you want to be. great job!!!

Nicole  you my dear are such a sweet friend and supporter THANKS!

awww shucks so are you sweet cheeks!

Nessa,

CONGRATULATIONS!  Twenty-five pounds is a lot of weight.  If you were on a program such as WW, you wouldn't be near 25 pounds at this stage of the game, so I think you're doing wonderful.  Again, congratulations for your hard work and determination to get to your goal.

Ya know Debbie I have to look at it that way !  I'm losing an average of over 3 pounds per week at this point... that's a good loss!
