Today is a great day

When I started this journey in February I wasn't very hopeful about loosing weight on my own without surgery, however after being placed on the liquid protein diet and was so successful on it, I decided to try thyis diet and exercise thing again with a new attitude. I cancelled my surgery as many of you already know then I went on a "oh my God what have I done streak". Anyway, I had a great support system who told m I could do it. I immediately started thinking about all the weight being gone and all the things I could do because of it.

I came onto  this site and I found this forum and started reading others postings. There was somebody's posting that I read "Can't remember who now" but that person had lost 45 lbs on her own without surgery. I was so jealous and inspired all at the same time. It motivated me and I joined a silent race to get to that 45 lb weightloss...This was to be one of my mini goals to get me through this weight war.

Well imagine my joy when I got up this morning, weighed and am now officially down 45 lbs, I coulld sing, dance, yell, cry and everything else in one....I am estatic and so very proud of myself.

Today my friends is a great day

Hot Damn, it is a great day!  I'm doing my happy dance with you! 

If you don't mind my asking, how do you do the liquid protein diet?  I have some very stubborn pounds left to lose and at this point, I think I need to shake things up a bit. 

Congratulations,

I have a slimfast for breakfast and dinner, soup for lunch and crystal light during the day if I feel hungry. I try to have a glass of milk every night before bed ...just for the calcium...I do also have 1 or 2 sticks of colby jack cheese during the day for the protein. There are days when liquids will not cut it , on those days I'll have a chicken ceasar salad from Boston Market and the scale never seems to mind

 Oh WOW! Congratulations! that is so awesome!! doesn't it feel great!? I also do protein shakes, 2 a day, they replace my breakfast and dinner, I eat a healthy balanced lunch and snacks! Wonderful report, keep up the great work! 

Congratulations....glad you found what works for you!!  Many on this board have wrestled with the idea of WLS (including myself) and have decided to give it one more try.  I'm so happy for you!!

Excellent work!

WooHoo!  Congratulations!
