Topic: RE: DS pre-Op...Any advice???
You do it girl. My mom was an ER head nurse with specialized trauma certifications. She worked the night shuft in one of the busiest er's in the country. A noble profession. Me, I'll stick with a desk job, lol.

Must ditto on the interval training. Research HIIT (high intensity interval training) workouts. Insanity per the infomercials is one but there are many or easily make your own for free. High cal burn and a real blood pumping rush. An admired BAF vet used to say boredome can kill your work outs. Grab some variety.
love the died penis joke and the rolex ahahahah!

Topic: RE: HOLD MY FEET TO THE FIRE! ACCOUNTABILITY - THE MID WEEK AGENDA
Hello its lil ole me...
I couldn't find a balance this week at all. I set a goal to eat more protein and I haven't reached it yet. I would like to eat 70 grams a day. I'm in between 50 to 60 grams a day and some days more than less. I told my NUT and she said I'm still a little over a month out and I might be pushing myself to hard.
The up side to everything I'm down 3 pounds this week, and I've been kicking butt with my power walk/ jog :)

First off the bat........CONGRATULATIONS!!......There's no substitute for knowledge and a great education. You are to be commended. Don't downplay that 81 lbs in 11 months......That's a great victory. Credit yourself for getting that done while rocking honors in school.
I know what you mean though when you feel that you haven't reached your set goal. As usual, we know why we have not when we vent and post already. You told us part of the reason........"I have poor eating habits, I don't exercise much lately"........Change that!! You know what you had to do in the beginning to get the first 80 lbs off. Switch it up with your exercise, try early morning workouts and interval exercises that brings your heart rate up for a few minutes and then slow it down. Switch up your eating routine too. Cut your portions and maybe eat smaller meals more often.
Best wishes,
JJ

You look fantastic! Congratulations. Treasure your successs. Over 80 hard won pounds is no small blessing.
We go into this believing that we will drop at least 100 lbs in the first year. Few talk about loosing less because the bragging is always about the big numbers. Like you, It takes many of us longer to hit that 100 lb mark or to make our goal.
Give up the sweets. Cut back on the starchy carbs. Limit the simple carbs like sugars in fruits. Ramp up the cardio. Even if your metabolism is slow you can loose the rest.
Keep pushing for the 100 lbs or whatever you desire. Don't worry about comments of others. Most of us are so accustomed to overweight people that a normal bmi seems "skinny". Go with how you feel about yourself and your body. Most of all, enjoy!
ETA: HAPPY GRADUATION!
Another hard won victory. Further proof that you can do anything you set out to do.
