WOW!!!!

 Ok when I first started this journey 13 months ago I was over 315 pounds and I was so NOT into any form of exercise. So right after bypass I started on my WHEY POWDER per the Doctors request. Well it kicked butt with speeding up my weight loss. I dropped almost 140 pounds in 6 short months! It was INSANE! However my Doctors orders were to NOT TAKE PROTEIN POWDER after 7 weeks because by then they want you working out to lose the weight not "Cheating" to shed the pounds.

                      Well those of you on here that know me know I became a RUNNER! I was on the track or on the trail running daily and losing pretty fast! Well then came October and I hit a stall and was averaging a loss of MAYBE a pound or two a MONTH! So not cool!! It was frustrating. So over this past weekend I went back to Wal*Mart and got myself some more Whey Powder and have added it to my coffee every morning since Sunday. Today I am down get this................................ 7 pounds!!!!!!!!!! I have lost 7 pounds in less then a week which is the most weight loss since OCTOBER!!! And I have more energy because I am getting my daily protein in. This is crazy! To be in a size 8 in jeans and a medium in tops is so SURREAL to me!!! So I am gonna stick with the protein for a bit!!! And today I mixed it with peppermint paddy sugar free syrup and it taste EXTRA YUMMY!!!! (THANKS NESSA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Jilly you have done so well. I think you are amazing and have done wonderful. I hope that I can be successful as you one day. I am taking care of me and that is what is important. Congrats and keep up the good work.

 Thank you honey and YOU WILL BE!! You have great friends who have your back and we will support you ALL THE WAY!!! Maybe you can come to the Crofton meeting with me next month. Those ladies are AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (((Hugs)))

Awesome Girl!! So proud of you!

Funny how each surgeons office recommends so differently. My surgeons office actually recommends 2 protein shakes a day FOR LIFE, because of the amino acids etc. in them that we dont normally absorb as 'regular' people do :)

 Thank you baby girl!!!!!!!!!!! You know I luv you girl!! And I so agree each Doc is different. My discharge sheet says NO PROTEIN SHAKES after 7 weeks because they want you to get all your protein from food at that point. SHOOT! Put me in time out then cuz I just drank two of them! he he he

yup i am back to a protein shake in the morning. during non work days i will cook something but when you gotta get to work it works out great and sets my numbers up good for protein that day.

 EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

  Girl, I hope I am half as successful as you've been! I can't even fathom wearing a size 8. I think the last time I was a size 8 was when I was 8! You so rock!!!

  Thank you beautiful and YOU WILL BE!!!!!!!! You are just getting started. You just wait till summer when your sending us your bathing suit pix and we are all DROOLING!! (((Hugs)))
LMAO size 8 at age 8 good thing I didnt have coffee in my mouth. LMAO

Oh my gosh, Jilly, your success is AMAZING!!!!!  Congratulations!
