L - spinach and chicken salad
S - deli turkey

Over 100 lbs lost! and 13 lbs below goal weight!
Your body will start to adjust and stop losing. As time progresses you can eat more, old habits try to return (don't let them), new villi form. I have been on the forum for more than 5 years and have seen that most people have a slight regain and some regain quite a lot. I don't say this with judgement, it's just my observation.
Maintenance is really hard and the further out from surgery, the harder it gets. At the 3 year mark, many have experienced a little regain, and that's why some try to lose a little more than to their goal weight. You need only search the forums for regain to read their stories. You are still in the honeymoon phase and will still lose easily.

Good morning everyone. The past few days I've just been feeling logy, I'm sure I just need more sleep. Today I will be having a nap, lol. Still on no exercise, and I go to see the doctor tomorrow so I am hoping next week I will be back to my usual routine.
QOTD: What time of day do you feel your best? I think for me it would be morning after my first 2 coffees. I fade pretty quickly after dinner.

Good afternoon :)
We've had a rough few days... This cold can go fly a kite. Now DH has it to. Little nugget had us all up at 4am -- Ginnny, I could have joined you at the gym lol. Nothing planned for today. Tomorrow morning I have an appointment with the nurse at the doctor's office. Hopefully I don't bring home any more germs.

Good morning everyone. Ginny I don't like to go to the gym when there's no one around. My gym is open 24hrs during the week and the thought of being the only one in the change room - I've seen the horror films.
I hope you get better sleep tonight.
Today I have an appointment at the University, then coffee with a friend. The rest of the day will be household drudgery.
The eats today at 4 years 8 months are:

Have a great day everyone.

Good morning. I'm sure you will sleep like a log tonight with a 5 a.m. workout! And an empty gym would be exactly what I'd like.
Just a normal workday for me and then I'm heading to Costco after work for the regular stock up of yogurt, Vitamin D, chicken skewers, turkey pepperettes and likely a few household things I really don't need. :)
B - greek yogurt, blueberries
S - 1/2 protein shake
L - salad with shrimp, diced roast chicken and cheese
S - boiled egg
D - on the road so protein shake and turkey pepperette
S - maybe cheese stick but likely won't need one
Good morning gang. Didn't sleep worth a crap so was at the gym at 5 this morning. It's creepy that early and no one else is there.
Have to go to a funeral this morning - a co-worker's father passed. Not much else on the go. I'm sure I will be tired tonight, my eyes are already burning.
B - 1/2 everything bagel, egg, slice of cheese
S - raspberries
L - chili
S - deli turkey
D - chicken breast - likely bbqd

Thank you for posting this. I wasn't aware there was a Barrie support group. My surgery is May 3. Not sure I could face Williams this month as I'm on Optifast regimen. Will look forward to joining in the conversations in May.
I just logged in and noticed no one posted yet, so I will give it ago:
B: 1 hardboiled egg/coffee
S: raspberries with sugar free yogurt
L: homemade chicken parmesan (really yummy, but a little high in fat - but still stayed under my limit, so I think okay)
S: diet ice tea
D: homemade chili with 1 tbsp. shredded cheese
S: protein shake
Total Protein: 91 Total Calories: 620 - so well under limit of 900 Lots of water too.
Exercise - walked dog 3x's today for about 1 1/4 hours total (both boys busy with work/school commitments - so Mom gets the bonus walks)
Waiting for warmer spring weather, but I know its coming - just need to avoid the Easter Bunny treats!
