5 Years Tomorrow (xpost)

 Lizanne, I'm so sorry to be late to your party!  Thank you for always being an inspiration. Tomorrow I will be 2.5 years out. You've been on this journey twice as long as I have. I so appreciate your sticking around and leading the way. It's important that we have positive role models, and you are definitely one of our shining lights.

You look particularly stunning in your vacation pics. Radiant, happy and healthy. Who could ask for more!  Kudos on a job very well done!

Congrats on your 2.5 years! I was sorry not to see you last week--we should try to hike together sometime!

Thank you!

 Great post! Just what I needed to hear. I guess I thought I didn't need to pay attn. any more and have gained about 10 pounds. Would you share what you aim for as far as protein, carbs, etc. for the day?

Loved your pictures ! I haven't even changed my profile pic since I had surgery! I've got to get on that!

Lisa, I don't formally track any more, but my guess would be 50-75 protein. I watch the scale like a hawk, weighing at least once daily. If the scale goes up, I go back to eating dense protein and vegetables and not much else for a few days. When I'm at my happy range, I'll be a little bit more forgiving on the carbs and treats, allowing myself some wine or a piece of candy. Hope that helps!

 Ty! I am definitely going back to basics! Didn't come all this way to go back. Started with a protein shake this morning. So glad to have found this group... Thanks to Dorothy!
