Menus and Miles Sunday March 5th

WARNING TO SELF AND TO ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN!!! AVOID 'BAD' CARBS AT ALL COSTS!!! THEY ARE ADDICTING!! THEY WILL SLOW DOWN YOUR WEIGHT LOSS DURING THE LOSING STAGE (and you won't even notice)!! THEY WILL MAKE THE SCALE GO UP AFTER THE HONEYMOON PERIOD IS OVER.

Success in Maintenance starts with GOOD CHOICES during the Honeymoon Period.

I feel I need to repeat this: I am a FIRM believer in Good Whey Protein Drinks!!!!! It is sooooo much harder to do Maintenance without them!

Long time NO SEE!!! That's a pun....LOL. I am still recovering from a terrible case of Pink Eye. It's been going around the Grandson's and I should have known better to wash my hands after cleaning the youngest ones eyes out when my DD was away over the weekend. First time I've ever experienced it and I NEVER want it again!! My face was swollen from the eye down to the bottom of my cheek and the gritty sandpaper feeling was awful. I was a VERY whiny person. To make it even worse my DH's Surprise 65th Birthday/Retirement Party that I've been planning for months was Friday evening with over 60 people coming. My DD's had to set everything up and I added extra makeup and tried not to touch anything.

Snack: Nuts, Cheese, Berries

Lunch: Not Sure

Snack Lite BabyBel Cheese round

Hi!!! Noob to this section, so will tell you about me. I'm married with 3 kids two at home one old enough to finally move out. I had my sleeve 6 weeks ago. In 2006 I weighed 325 pounds I lost weight and in 2014 was down to 185. After a baby,a gallbladder removed and then a hysterectomy I began gaining. No matter what I ate, how much I worked out and all the tests from the doc I gained. So I decided it's time. My first dr visit in September I weighed 243. Surgery day 227. Today 204 :)

i am on real foods, I do balanced macros and am averaging about a pound loss every 2-3 days which is good with me.

Now on my menu today:

B- 1/4c egg beaters a turkey sausage

S- light n fit Greek yogurt

L- 1/2c progresso split pea soup

S- 1 slice chocolate/mint SF protein mug cake (yum)

D- will be pulled pork from crock pot and some green beans.

:) Glad I found this forum!!!!!

I'm glad you found us too!!!! I give this site alot the credit for me being successful. When I was in my losing stage this site was booming. Some moved on to the Facebook LW page but even it is dwindling. I honestly believe that if I quit posting I'm going to start gaining weight back. I have to be accountable to someone.

I love the variety in your menu. Stick to Protein and you will do just fine.

Thanks on ththe menu I have to switch it up a little or I find myself wanting stuff I can't have I love Sunday we try a new recipe and see how it goes. Today's was a hit :)
