I agree with the suggestion to drink a lot of water. Also obviously avoid or have very small portions of foods with high sugar, fat, or that are fried. That said, your boyfriends 21st birthday only comes once so enjoy it with him! He can always chase you around the block an extra time the next day ;)

I tried it this morning. Very sweet!

That does sound good. I will have to give it a try this weekend.

Very cool!

Yep! My spouse and I am from Atlanta! Well living in Atlanta, originally from Wisconsin; but that's another story.

My goal going in to all this was to get down to 180 lbs; whether or not that is my "ideal weight" is very subjective. I have decided to let my body tell me what my right weight is. I am careful to eat right and exercise like I am supposed to and I figure I will end up where I am supposed to be. (I know this is utterly…

Toning exercises definitely seem to help in my case.

I have them too. They are just one of many reminders that I am a stronger, and happier person today than I used to be.

Yep, this is my advice too as another bariatric patient. I start every day with a smoothie made with coconut milk, protein powder and fruit. Be careful of the brand of powder you choose though, some brands are not as good as other brands

I am around 5'10" and have come down to 180ish lbs from 325. But.. my before pictures are just way too terrifying to share :) I would post pictures of today if I could figure out how to post pictures. I have failed as a techie girl...

I had a similar problem but found the solution to be to break up my meals into smaller amounts and have them every two hours. Then on off hours if I was hungry for some reason I would have a cup of coffee or tea.

Wow, I just saw Fork's over Knives. Amazing! How did I miss this before???

I am in my first week in the vegetarian club too. So far I love it! I have decided I will try it for a month and then decide if I can take that extra step to vegan. We shall see.
