12 week update - Full Report
I had my surgery on May 9th. It's 12 weeks today! Time flies!
Here is the official report:
HW: 265 (4 wks before Surgery)
SW: 239
CW: 209
Dress size: 22w to 14/16
My post surgery wt. loss is not as fast as some. But I am very happy! It is headed in the right direction! And the total wt. loss in last 4 months is close to 60 lbs! No complains from me!
NSVs:
- Started wt. training and loving it!
- Started Couch to 5k. On wk. 2. Day 2
- At lowest wt. in almost 16 years
Compliments/comments that made me feel great:
Hey girl! You are shrinking!
Looks like someone is bringing the sexy back here!
Food goals:
- Kept below 800 cals a day on non-exercise day
- Upto 1000 on exercise days
- Carbs no more than 70 gms on exercise & 40-50 on no exercise days
- Protein intake: 80-110 per day
- Here is the biggest one: I HAVE LOGGED MY FOOD IN MFP FOT 80 DAYS IN A ROW!
Hair loss: There is some so far only when I shower. I use Organic coconut oil couple of times a week. I massage it in gently and wash my hair in the morning. Hoping for the best. I will take the temporary hair loss to have a chance at permanent weight loss!
Other: No weakness, no surgery pains/complications.
Hoping for continued downwards journey and support from this wonderful community!
Congrats on your great success so far! Keep it up :D
