ONEDERLAND!! F***ING FINALLY!!!
I'm working out 6 days this week and I have the Susan G. Komen Race For The Cure Saturday morning which will be another 3 miles!! I can now see how important it is to hit those protein goals, get the water and workouts in. I've had phenomenal results (even with a little indulgence) just in this week!
On another note, I'm in desperate need of clothes. I have stretched out my existing wardrobe about as far as it can go. I missed my local WLS clothing swap, so I guess I'm just going to have to bite the bullet and hit up Old Navy, Salvation Army, etc for some staples b/c I won't be in these sizes long. I'm now wearing a large top and size 12/14w bottoms and/or a regular 16. Oh yeah, today is my 5 MONTHS in!!! I had my sleeve 12/6/10!!!!! HAPPY 5 MONTHS TO ME!!!
P.S I really appreciate all of your transparency, support and sharing.

PS: I am sure your not the only WLS in your area. Why dont you start a clothing drive with others who have been through WLS?

You must permanently change your lifestyle if you want your weight loss to be permanent. You can do it!
I got some clothes really cheap recently-Penneys mails out $10.00 of any purchase of $10 or more so I have all my friends & co-workers give me theirs if they don't plan to use them then I go shopping! Got new workout clothes, shirts and pants/jeans for just a couple of dollars each. I am in a 16 but have purchased a 14 that was on clearance so they're waiting in the wings...
Today I have on size Large workout bottoms and an XL tank from Penneys...the "girls" are pretty squished in a large tank...
Had some Ahi Tuna grilled with teriyaki last night-awesome! 140 cals/ 0 fat/ 25 grams protein!!!
Best of luck in your upcoming race!
