03/23/06 I'm 3 months since surgery and I have only lost 48 pounds. I started out at 339. I'm not very happy with the lost, but I guess I'll take it...LOL Guess I have to. LOL I take the meds and get the liquid and protein in, and I keep my calories under 800. Sometimes I’m bad, but I still keep my calories under 1000. In the last 3 weeks I have only lost 3 pounds. This process is really going slow for me. I have so far to go. I haven’t seen really any results. I’m still in the same size clothes and no one has commented on my loss. However, I ‘think’ that my face looks thinner, cus I now have 3 chins as opposed to 4.
04/17/06 Well, I'm down to 274 today. I made it to my first personal goal of 275. It took me over 4 months to lose 65 pounds. I wish it would come off faster. I'm walking 30 min every day, and on weekends I walk an hour. I keep my calories around 1000. I get all of my protein and liquids in each day. I miss sugar, but afraid to give in to urges, because I know that I can eat a whole box of treats not just one or a half. Glad to see Easter go...LOL That dumb bunny was always too good to me with the treats! LOL
05/02/06 Today I am 268. I was doing well by walking every day, but I fell in a hole and now I have a cast so walking is out. I can't think of a way to burn off cals, but I will keep trying. Weight is coming so slow, but at least it is coming.
06/02/06 Today I am 258. I had gone for almost a month without losing weight. I had gotten very fustrated. I did the wrongest thing I could...I ate REAL ice cream, a donut, candy bar, and about 10oz of Coke Cola! I got on the scale last Saturday and lost 3 pounds, on Sunday I lost another 3 pounds, and then on Monday I lost 4 pounds! Needless to say I'm back on track with the protein and water. I just couldn't believe I would lose weight after what I ate. I have some real screwy body. I hope to walk this weekend. Tempature is up, but I have to do something to get the scale to move.
08/15/06 Today I am 247. I haven't written in here because I have been ashamed because my weight loss has stopped. I have increased my walking to 25 miles a week. I have also increased my liquid intake. This has gotten the scale to move. Hopefully, by next month that will have changed.
09/11/06 Today I am 235. I'm still walking at least 25 miles a week. Sun is going down early so hard to get much more in. I work out at least 2 or 3 times a week. I have lost over 100#, but you still can't really notice a change. I do fell better. Now knee pains when I walk and I don't get out of breath as easily.
12/01/06 Today I am 220. I'm not walking as much. I've been on some trips and ate EVERYTHING in sight. It is so hard getting back on that horse. But, I'm trying! I was hoping to be under 200 by my year anniv, but looks like that will not happen :( But at least I'm smaller than I was last year at this time.
03/06/07 Today I am 209. Monday thrugh Friday I went to the gym two times a day. Once in the morning, then again after work. Last week I worked up to running off 1,000 cals. I'm not going to the gym only in the morning, but I'm there for 3 hours. Sadly, I've found that I can eat ANYTHING, and in huge amounts. I try to stick to 1300 cals a day. Monday through Firday, I do well, then the weekend comes and all bets are off. I'm working on this. I'm glad that I can do the exercise. That is my goal at this point. I'm working on eating less and working out more.
