Reboot and a Fresh Start

Jul 26, 2012

That's it! I can't take it any longer! I have stared down, parked at, and now have passed my "scary weight" of 190 and the scale keeps climbing. Today, I met with my former surgeon Dr. Clark at his Center for Weight Loss Success. I have to say, seeing my "Total Body Fat" at a shocking 34.9% really opened my eyes. That's 66.6 lbs of BODY FAT. As if my current body weight of 195.3 wasn't bad enough, I have to accept the fact that almost 67 lbs of it is plain ol' FAT. Meeting with Dr. Clark was pretty insightful and he provided me with guidance that I could not have gotten anywhere else. Only someone with his expert level of understanding of the diet and caloric needs of a post gastric-bypasser could've pointed me in this direction. I guess this is where I have gone wrong this whole time. I was eating healthy for a NORMAL person. Which, coincidentally, backfired on me. I guess I've forgotten after 7 years, that I'm NOT "normal" anymore. And if I ever want to lose weight, I have a higher level of standards to meet if I want the weight to come off.

Breast feeding has come to a slow crawl, maybe one or two (if we're lucky) sessions per day, so I think this is the best time to go ahead and get this ball rolling. Yeah, so the 1200 calories I was trying to eat a day.... lets try 1000! And protein? Lets pump that puppy up to 145 a day! I have decided to take advantage of Dr. Clark's Jump Start program. 5 shakes a day for 2 weeks. Expected weight loss 8-25 lbs. After the 2 weeks, I will then decide to keep going with the shakes or substitute caloric intake for real food. Which all depends on my weight loss by that point.



As of July 26, 2012- I am 195.3 lbs. BMI- 28.7
TOTAL goal- 165
TOTAL weight loss goal: 30 lbs



I am in it to win it this time. I want to shed this baby weight and get back to my goal. Once and for all. Enough fooling around and goofing off. Lets do this thing!
