Hi everyone! I have been MIA on here for the last few weeks. I was trying to sort of move on with my life. I took the few weeks off from following my super strict diet (frankly after 5 months I needed a little break). I went ahead and went off plan to see how I would do. Good news is I didnt gain. I stayed the same. I am very happy to know that. I now know what my threshold is. I just lived my life. I didnt have diet on the front of my mind for the first time in soooo many years. I didnt have guilt. I was just a normal person. It was wonderful! 

Because of this I didnt lose much last month. I only lost 7lbs. But again, that is okay! I am back on plan and excited to see what will happen this month. My goal for this month is to lose 7lbs. I have a check in with my surgeon and I want to be at 215 by then. This is very doable...I just need to stick to plan. My main focus is under grams of carbs and 100 ounces of water.

Anyways, I am down 112lbs total and 89 since surgery! I went from 3x,size 26 to XL (sometimes 1x), size 18. I am struggling buying clothes because my eyes have no idea what size I am. I keep buying things then needing to return them because they are too big.

Here are some pics (boy I cant wait for the girls to shrink down some more!)

ha ha I like what you did to the pre pic!! You're the incredible shrinking woman. Look how long and thin even your neck looks in the second pic.  You can tell all over. Keep up the great work!!!

thanks all. For the side by side you juat have to have narrow enough pics (as I get smaller they get narrower). I crop them using the basic windows editing thingy. Then save them in my photo album on this site. I open a second internet explorer where I create my post then just drag and drop my pics from my photo album.
