What's On Your Thursday Menu, RNYers?
Isn't it amazing how that goal that seemed unattainable becomes a real possibility! My original goal was 160 and at 270 that seemed impossible. But now only did I pass that,I passed my lower goal of 145 and ended up at 120. My rheumatologist reminded me when I saw him yesterday that I have been at this weight for two years. All I can say is WOW! I would love to have plastics but I need an unknown rich relative to leave me a large sum of money! I can live with my arms and legs but would love to lose the saggy stomach skin. I have nice abs now but you can only see them when I lay down and that makes me sad. But with hubby getting ready to retire the money is not there so unless a relative shows up I will do without. Foggy here in Illinois but Lily and I will do three miles at the park after lunch. I will also do 2.5 more miles on the treadmill and 20 minutes on the bike. On track with fluids and vitamins and weight at 118.8 today. Here's the eats: B 1/2 c steel cut oats with nuts and half a banana with peanut butter L 31/2 oz chicken breast and hummus and tomatoes D 31/2 oz salmon with 1/2 c some non starchy veggie(have to hit the store here) S Greek yogurt with granola. Have a great day with smart choices everyone!
Good Morning! That is a great accomplishment-congrats! I love MFP too-keeps things easy and couldn't agree more about this site.
The thought of plastics scares me but I won't say never but I would need to save for quite some time so who knows :)
So yesterday I signed up for a hula hoop dance fitness class that starts in May (never would have even thought about it a year ago!). Don't know what I was thinking because I can't even hula hoop but it's a beginner course so hope it's fun. A few other ladies from work are also going to join so if nothing else I am sure we will get some laughs in.

AV congrats on the weight loss milestone! It's crazy, I'm about 25 lbs from goal and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and it's equal parts exciting and frustrating (why of why can't I lose like I did during the first 6 months :)...Anyways, I'm on the plastic surgery train as well. Em has been a huge help with the research part of it. My plan is to start seeing surgeons in July and then have the surgery the Fri before Thanksgiving, so I only miss 3.5 days of work (that Fri and then our office closes the Wed before for a 1/2 day and Thurs & Fri). I'm saving like a crazy person now, but I think I'll have the money (I want a LBL, a breast lift and my arms done, but it sounds like I'll have to get the arms done at a later date). I'm so scared, but so hopeful too. All the people on OH who are kind enough to share their before and afters give me hope! I can't even imagine ever having a flat stomach, but maybe that'll be my Thanksgiving day miracle :)
Time since surgery: 14.75 months
B - 2 string cheeses
L - TBD (I think I'll grab a grilled chicken breast from this little cafe near by)
D - I'm going to a wine and cheese tasting class with friends. Should be fun, but I'll watch my intake for sure
W/V - On track
E - None planned :(
Good luck in the interview Em!
Good morning everyone. Today is my "Friday." I am taking the afternoon and tomorrow off, because I am taking a long weekend trip to Seattle. It's a friend's birthday, so we are celebrating in style. I lived in Seattle for 8 years, so it is nice to go back and visit friends, and just generally ramble around my old haunts. Love that city.
I am all over plastics, and will do it when I hit goal. In fact, I plan on everything being lifted so high that I will be 2 inches taller. My flying squirrel arms are the things that bother me the most now. They are horrible, but come in handy for leaping from tree top to tree top. I will also do my tummy and boobs, for sure. We'll see what sags the most in the next 40 pounds.
Time since surgery: 4 months + 3 weeks
B: 1/2 Flatout, 1 oz. light mozzarella, 2 oz chicken breast
