14 months out now.

Well I am just over 14 months out now. My losses have slowed but I am losing inches and just as happy about that. I was in 22 and 20's and just the other day decided for chits and giggles to try on a pair of 18 misses and 16 women's jeans. Last time I tried I had a hard time getting them up my legs ....let alone zipped. Well I can wear then now. They are a bit tight..but soon they will be "just right--like Goldilocks said!" So it is still an amazing trip. The past two months my average loss is 5 pounds for the month. I am really hoping I stay on that line for awhile before it slows even more. I am really working now for every pound I lose. I am not perfect in food choices now and it is much easier to eat more now than ever before. Today I caved in when I was making cookies for the kids and ate about two cookies worth of cookie dough. I have always loved cookie dough..once baked they don't appeal to me as much. But after I had that I was done and done. So not much damage done. I am averaging just over 1000 to 1100 calories a day now. I need to have 100 gms of protein a day or I am hungry now. Still eating 5x's a day. Usually three meals and two protein shakes. I am walking most days of the week..between two and three miles. I have resorted to doing an all liquid day on Tuesdays and the day after is the day I lose for the week. It sort of resets my tummy and helps me along. Today I am down 184 lbs and weigh 206. I am so happy with how I feel and how my health has gotten so much better. I will just keep trucking along and keep at it. I am determined to get to 180...hoping to go farther though. Still feel it is a ---TIme will tell if my body will let me go lower. Well that is my update for this month. Things really change the farther out you get and life does get more in the forefront and the WLS takes a seat in the back too.
