100 pounds GONE
on 3/5/15 12:15 am - NJ
I lost 100 pounds since my pre-surgery diet in December 2013. The weight loss has slowed and the scale has been evil playing mind games but I just kept following my plan and this morning I was rewarded by the scale.
My friend wants to celebrate this milestone which was a nice suggestion but the accomplishment is its own reward.
Now onward to my next goal... 180's which I almost hit today.
Dori's song from "Finding Nemo" has helped me when the goings been tough... Just keep swimming!

My pre-surgery diet was high protein, clean, whole foods with as much plant-based foods as possible... muesli with protein powder, beans, lean meats, lots of veggies and fruit. I made protein shakes for breakfast with half a frozen banana.
After surgery, I focused on getting in my protein and water which was a struggle. I sipped Pure Protein shakes during meal times and sipped water or Propel when it was drinking tkme. I had only protein for a long time because I couldn't fit anything else.
Nice job!! And I love the fact that you believe "accomplishment is its own reward". Great attitude
You probably "celebrate" this milestone every day: every time you climb stairs without panting; when you fit clothes that you never imagined you could wear; when you blow your doctor away with your increased health. THOSE are the celebrations that count!
Keep up the great work
CONGRATULATIONS!
