Today makes 6 months
Jul 04, 2011
Today is my 6 mo. surgiversary. I stepped on the scale this morning and it read 186lbs. I'm down 57.6lbs since surgery and I have about 41lbs to go to reach what I think is my goal. My weight loss is at a very slow crawl right now. I'm looking back at my stats and on May 18, 2011 I weighed in at 194lbs. On June 15th, I weighed 189lbs so that was a 5lb loss in one month. Today, almost 3weeks later, I'm at 186lbs which is a 3lb loss. Im hoping to weigh at 175lbs or less by the end of August, so I need to lose another 11lbs in the next month or so. I know that I can help it along by doing more exercise and making sure to get in at least 80 grams of protein a day. I bought a mini ice cream maker so that I can try protein ice cream. I will make that tomorrow and be sure to post my thoughts on it. I've kinda lost my motivation a little bit and I need to find it before my malabsorption is gone. I feel like I will make it to my goal, but I honestly, thought that I would've been closer by now. I know that 57lbs in 6mo is nothing to sneeze at, but I thought that I would be further along at this point in the game. Once again, I shall recommitt to becoming a happier, healthier, thinner me, and do what needs to be done to ensure that will happen.
