Scale Victory and question about consumption?

So, since life is basically "back to normal" for me and my family, I really haven't been on the boards much.  I still occasionally browse but rarely post now.  I'm trying to stick to good habits and getting my protein in, just like everyone else does :)

 

I reached a milestone today however, and thought I'd make a new post, especially for 2013.  I finally got below the 200 mark.  Scale reads 199.8 this morning.

My BMI still reads at a 27, but for me it's a huge milestone.  I haven't been below 200 since the military, and even then, I was still over 200 for most of my time in.

For those curious, I had surgery on 6/12/12, so just over 7 months, which is putting me 18lbs away from goal.  I don't excerise regularly, but I do use a fitbit and try to reach 10,000 steps each day, and I average about 30 flights UP stairs each day.  

Last thing... our nutritionist has us shooting for 3oz of solid protein by 6 months out.  I've been eating what I believe to be 3oz at a time (sometimes more) and decided to weigh out some left over rotisserie chicken that I made.  3oz is A LOT of meat, and I could only eat about half in one sitting.  How do y'all do it?

Congratulations!

I only get the full 3 oz of dense protein in at every meal on big pouch days. Most days I can get it in for one meal and the other meal I don't quite make it. I get it in more often now then I did even a month ago though.

Congrats on making it under 200!

Well hello Capt!!! I've wondered how you were doing. You are doing fantastic!!!! It's good to hear from you!

Hey there!
As you get farther out you will be able to eat more so you will get in protein more easily. I still cannot eat a lot of tuna for example. But that's okay.
I eat 5-6 times a day so I get plenty of protein. I average about 90 grams a day.
Also I can eat more soft protein than solid.
How is your wife doing?

The wife is doing great actually. Oddly, the three stents didn't work and only after they did a balloon dilation did she have permanent relief. Since the dilation not a single issue. 2013 is looking to be a great year.

Hooray! That is terrific news.

Yes 3 oz is a lot of meat. I can still only eat 3-4 oz if I haven't eaten much the rest of the day.

Congrats on entering Onderland.

Congratulations! :)

As for eating, I can eat that amount pretty easily most of the time. I do have some days where I can barely eat anything. LOL
