I work from home 3/5 days -- I actually find it easier at home because I don't keep junk in the house. If I get the urge to snack I clean something instead! LOL -- I always start the day with water -- I have a goal to drink 32 oz before I eat anything -- then if/when I get hungry I have a protein drink -- that'll hold me…

YES

feel free to add me! :D

You are NOT alone. And reading these posts have been very helpful for me so I appreciate you putting it out there! 11/22 will be my 3 year anniversary for gastric sleeve. Like most of you, the first year was awesome! I lost about... 95 the first year. Then stalled. Then I was exercising a lot, hurt my knee, got lazy,…

My goal is to be under 400 cal per meal, unless I know I am going out or want to splurge on a meal -- so I do have a few examples for you from today -- Breakfast was: 1 cup spinach, 1 cup chopped zucchini, few mushrooms sauteed in 1 tablespoon country crock. Add 2 eggs, mix into a scrample. Top with 1/4 cup shredded colby…

Those chips... shudders... I hope you like them more than I did! I do like the cinnamon bun quest bars and the coconut one... I think vanilla coconut?

Everyone is different. I have to stay around 1000-1200 per day to see a loss. Don't sweat it... as long as you feel good and you're seeing results do what you need to do.

I love Click. They have coffee flavors... Vanilla latte, caramel and mocha. mocha is my favorite. Shaken or blended with almond or skim milk.

Mopping is definitely my least favorite.

I LOVE brussel sprouts. I steam them until soft (I don't like them hard or crunchy). Then in a saute pan I add a little EVOO, butter, salt, pepper, garlic powder. I saute them until browned. Delish! Roasted is another good option. Toss with EVOO, salt & pepper. You can also shred and all to salads.

I signed up for the Elite plan (8 classes per month) for $89. I like the workouts but... There are cons. 1, I am not seeing any weight loss. Diet could improve but I am killing myself at OT so I should see SOME change on the scale. Secondly, they do not offer childcare. They should for the price. I am also a member at the…

1/2 cup of cottage cheese and an orange - my breakfast today.

A few things I currently keep in my desk drawer that may work for you: Instant Oatmeal packets Banana chips (these can get dangerous for me, though) Roasted edamame mini popcorn bags can of soup

What a great story! Such an inspiration!

You look great! :D

Thanks all! :) I really appreciate all of the good feedback. I mostly do cardio but every Monday I have the cardio sculpt class which uses weights and resistance bands and I definitely challenge myself and increase weights every few classes. Also on Saturday I do some of the machines.

I'm similar, but I've never even thought to label myself as something such as a vegetarian - because I'm not - I do eat meat, just not daily like some. I would simply tell them "no, I'm not a vegetarian." Because that's the truth. I'm honestly surprised so many people ask, I think that's so rude.

I still have about 100. Feel free to add me! I log in daily and am VERY motivated to get to my goal! :D

Feel free to add me! That goes to anyone here. I have lost about 75 with another 95ish to go!

My ticker shows how much I have lost in 10 months (76). I slip up sometimes with diet, but I mostly stick to 1200-1500. I exercise 5 x per week for 1 hour doing group classes. Currently I do 3 zumba class per week, 1 step aerobics and 1 cardio sculpt. If I waver from my schedule I make up for it doing other things.

Way to go everyone! Even though the scale is being a total jerk, I am down another pants size! :D

I've made a lot of friends because of the gym -- but I do group classes. After going for so long and seeing the same people conversations would strike up. Maybe try those and see what happens.

Looks pretty friendly :)

QUEST! My favorites are the coconut cashew and cinnamon roll -- both 170 calories! I get mine on their website usually.

Not pregnant but I take a prenatal (like a multi vitamin but has iron) Potassium Chelate Biotin

Steamed edamame w/sea salt - NOMMMMMM Quest bars Love tuna right now! Have to mix in mayo and relish White cheddar popcorn Zoodles! Having some tonight with marinara sauce. I got a vegetti last month and have used it 4 times!

spray tan

We're pretty similar. Today is day 20 for me. Sleeved on 11/22. I have lost a total of 25 so far, 9 was from pre-op diet. The last week or so I've lost and gained the same two pounds. I'm trying so hard to focus on the long term outcome by viewing people's before and after. I even created one of my own and I can see a…

Chips (especially Doritos), candy & cashews. One serving of these 3 things is not enough!
