No longer Morbidly Obese!
Dec 21, 2008
I'm so excited! As of Friday my BMI has gone from a 54.7 (299 pounds) to 39.9 (218 pounds)!! I am no longer Morbidly Obese....just plain old Obese. I see the next hurdle ahead as I prepare to get under 200 pounds! I'm trying to set a goal for myself time wise to reach 199 but I'm not sure what date I should pick...realistically. I'm 19 pounds away so I was thinking 6 weeks? Is that realistic though? If anyone has any thoughts please send them my way! I've only lost 6 pounds since Thanksgiving which was nearly 4 weeks ago. Hopefully I will break this plateau soon! I'm trying to mix up my foods and do additional exercise to see if that will help!I'm getting in a good amount of protein each day. I'm wondering if I should cut back on my Milk intake a bit. Some days I have 4 glasses of Skim Milk...that is 360 calories right there. I've had 2 glasses today so I'll try to limit it to 2 glasses per day. I love Milk and always have loved Skim milk. I knew it was a great way to get in additional protein too but I will test this out for 2 weeks and see if there are any results.
I made a GREAT pizza yesterday for lunch! I took a Mini Whole Wheat Pita and put it on a cookie sheet. I added 1-2 tbsp of Preggo, some basil, 1/3 cup of Weight Watchers Light Mexican Cheese and then on top I added about 1-1 1/2 ounces of leftover ground turkey with taco seasoning. I baked this in the oven for 10 minutes and it was fabulous! I think it was the best thing I've eaten post op, lol. I have to give props to EggFace as I saw the pizza from her site and I used her recipe and just tweaked it with the ingredients that I had on hand! I think I am going to make another one tonight for dinner! Oh- I wound up using my mini food chopper to make the leftover turkey into a fine, crumbled taco meat. It was easier to eat and to top on the pizza.
Happy Holidays to everyone!
