Topic: RE: Weekly Weigh In
Hey Becca,
Like you, I've been crazy busy too. Who knew that this new life would take up so much of our time, along with our regular life duties.
Still working full-time, still going to school full-time (which I am loving attending SDSU by the way), and on top of it, I am also training for a 5k (the couch to 5k training schedule) AND I joined Gracie Barra Escondido (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu). If I'm not working, studying, exercising then I'm most likely sleeping because it seems to fill every minute of every hour!
So far I've lost a total of about 60lbs. I'm beyond happy. I've gone from wearing an XXL top, and size 20/22 pant, to a L or maybe XL top (if I want extra space), to a size 16 pant. It just blows me away. I can see my old athletic body coming back into shape, of course with a few saggy and baggy bits on it, but that's ok with me. I have amazing amounts of energy.
Right now, I'm still lucky to get in about 500 calories a day (on a good day), but Dr. Rumsey said he was ok with this. He told me not to be too concerned with calories right now, and just to listen to what my body is telling me. If I'm hungry and feel like I need to eat, then do so, but just eat the right things. I'm also taking in about 60-85g of protein a day, I've tried pushing for more, but I'm simply not hungry most of the time. I do have to force myself to eat, which is frustrating. And I can still only eat about 1/4 cup of food at a time, if that.
I hope everyone else is doing well and that Janet is on the mend.

Hey ladies,
Just wondering how everyone is doing? Haven't heard from some of you in a while.
I'm at 213 today.
I started a new job, and have continued with some of my previous clients. It was a crazy week! I barely had time to eat and 10-12 hour days kicked my ass! I'm sure I will get adjusted. This week was just hard....only walked a few times total this week instead of twice a day.
Hope everyone is doing great...hope to hear from you soon

I really like the Celebrate Vitamins brand, not sour at all. And they break apart fairly quickly so you are not left with some chalky residue in your mouth.
I hope all went well with your surgery yesterday. we were thinking of you. Please let us know how you are doing.

Topic: RE: Any word on Debra?
I had wondered the same thing. I'll try and get over to the hospital if I actually get a lunch break this week. I've been slammed at work and I have mid-terms coming up.
I'm hoping all went well with her surgery, and hopefully she will post an update on here soon.
