I have been on again off again on MyFitnessPal for years. I'm hoping this will be a fresh new start. Hey! Here's hoping right? I'm not new to lifestyle change or the weight loss goals. I am a mom of 4 children and 1 furry child (my service dog Hershey). I am a Medical Assistant. I'm not as active as I once was. I am almost 2 years post Gastric-sleeve surgery and I still say it was THE BEST decision that I made for myself. I am not to my goal yet, but that doesn't mean it's not still within reach. HW: 330 CW: 230 SW: 295 GW: Between 130-150 lbs. Wherever I feel most healthy & confident. Goals: To increase water intake to at LEAST 64 oz a day a MAX of 100 ozs a day. Increase protein to 20-30 gram per meal Stay in a caloric deficit to burn what I eat Increase step counts (currently working a desk job), get to the gym 2-3 days per week for both cardio and strength workouts. Mostly, feel good about myself and celebrate the small wins. Short term goal: Get below 200 lbs
