Almost 10 MONTHS OUT and 139..Total of 161lbs lost on June 23, 2008 7:47 pm
In five days I will be exactly 10 months out. I weigh 139lbs. As short as I am this is still too much weight on my smaller boned body....or am I big boned? Anyway I have a lot of fat still left on my body...Hoping the 20 more pounds lost gets rid of the majority of it. I am really concentrating on this last stretch of poundage lost on high protein, low carb and high fiber. I feel like I eat a lot now...nothing like it was in the beginning...but then again..it is nothing near what I used to be able to eat. I can eat about 1/4-1/2 cup of food at one 15 min setting. Depends on what kind of food this is...I still have problems with meats and just a few bites will do me. I have been eating a lot of higher protein dense food lately like cottage cheese, protein shakes, propel water with K20, pepperoni chips, cheese sticks, ham and cheese roll ups...etc. For fiber I eat apples, my famous flaxseed high protein muffins..one muffin yields about 16-18 grams of protein and I can't eat a whole muffin at one time...takes me about an hour to eat a muffin. They are good..they have two kinds of nuts, flaxseed, rolled oats, raisins, banana, eggs, lots of protein powder...no added fat whatsoever...the only fat is what is in the flaxseed. :-) I don't know the exact calories per muffin..I am guessing 150 calories per muffin...they are very dense and very good.
Also pickles, cucumbers, brocolli, lettuce and then my fiber in a can...lol
I have two months left till my surgiverssary. I am excited to see what I will weigh at that time. I do not plan on losing 20lbs in 2 months. Not possible at this point..but it would be nice to be 10lbs down :-)
I will measure at the end of this month. Hoping to see a loss of inches.
hugs to all

Measurements JUNE 10TH on June 10, 2008 10:51 am
Up Arm 11.5 same
ForeArm 9.75 up .25
Thigh 19.75 same
Calf 13.75 down .25
Chest 36.75 down .5
Waist 32.25 same
Neck 11.75 down 1.25
Hips 39 down .75
loss of 2.75 inches with a gain of .25 inches in forarms? (have been doing lots of lifting at work? my forearms are muscular and pretty defined..prolly wont see much more loss there Will redo my measurements at the end of the month this time. Things are much slower going now so to measure any sooner just doesn't make much sense as I probably won't see a lot of change. Hopefully at the end of the month or first of July I will see a couple more inches lost!
I have skin issues.....I am definitely going to need a lot of work done to get this taken care of....my arms, breasts, tummy, butt and inner thighs. Five areas...yuk I am not looking forward to all of that. I think I want my tummy redone first...then breasts/arms...then legs/butt last. I am not insane enough to get it all done in one shot...lol...I could not even imagine that pain...lol
Found some cool nutritious foods thanks to everyone here on the boards to take to work
Today is turkey, cream cheese with dill rollups inside a low carb tortilla. One tortilla has 40 cals turkey 30 cals cream cheese 30 cals so each rollup has about 100 calories and they are yumm!
Also found some HIGH FIBER english muffins...24 carbs per muffin at 100 calories but 8 of those carbs are pure fiber! They are filling...added some cream cheese to these on half..topped with the other half...cut up into chunks...and waala! Snackers to eat while I am passin meds.....ran out of dill slices so these will do today.
Each cream cheese muffin has about 130 calories...then I am taking my activa light and a cheese stick and lots of water!!
I keep full and never eat everything I take...but it is good to have high protein snacks with me....I did great yesterday and lost a pound from high protein low carbin yesterday!
hugs all

Need to Cut the Carbs Out! on May 21, 2008 4:17 am
Sunny girl Noel posted a contest last night....pretty cool idea...but she is soo right in that I need to do the same thing. I have been letting in far too many carbs lately.....it is soo dang hard though sometimes...and I need to cut it out and back to basics....she is making her contest realy fun and I wish her lots of success and weight loss with this. It will be fun watching her the next two months.And I am going to follow along and try to get myself motivated along with her. I sure hope she doesn't think I am snarky....that is just my smirky personality....I am a goof ball at heart and I love me just like I am....I don't ever mean harm to anyone...just love to goof around and have fun. That is what life is for right? To have fun and to get good meaning out of life. To be inspirated by others and to try to be inspirational too. To love one another, to be able to laugh at ourselves and not take things too seriously...unless of course it is this battle of the pounds! Now that's serious business! :-)
Anyway I find so much support and information and inspiration on this board. I owe my success to this board...If it was not for this place I would not have been near as successful as I have been. I read everything...I may not always respond but I am always thinking and soaking everything in. When I stray away for a few days...I find myself going back to old behaviors...this place keeps me in check and makes me accountable and lets me know that I am not alone in this. I am with others battling the same thing. We all have this one thing in common that ties us all together. I believe we are all closer to each other then we realize sometimes. For instance I see someone and I may not post.."wow look at them...they look nice!" But I am sure thinking it. I follow people's journies and really draw inspiration and I feel bonded to that person just by reading their journey and their struggles. It makes me feel closer and like I belong to a group for the very first time in my life that I can call my own. This is my group. My OH family is my family. And even if I don't say it...which I should work on this more...I truly do read everyone's struggles, triumphs and daily happenings. And I really get rewarded from what everyone here has to offer.
I hope everyone here also gets rewarded in the same way by reading my posts sometimes.
I know I am a goofy girl sometimes but I have a huge heart for everyone here...even the people that have me blocked...lol. Which I think is only one...but I even care about that person.
Anyway those were my thoughts for today :-)
hugs to all
sunshine and farts
