The numbers don't matter at all - they're just arbitrary numbers. How you look and feel is the important thing!

Thank you Dessa.. how are you doing? I have been watching alot of WLS videos out of curiosity wow... what a big thing you had to go through.. hope all is well!

obraxton · 07-05-2011, 09:51 AM

Yes, I'm well! I didn't really go through alot. I think I was blessed to have returned back to normal in no time without side effects, pain, dumping, etc. But the loss for me is still kinda slow which sucks b/c I bought the whole she-bang and expected at least have the initial weight loss success. But that's that, so I suck it up and keep truckin!

I would say you are very lucky not to have any of the side effects.. thank the lord!.. some of these videos are scary...

I am so happy you did not!!

As for the fast weight loss, I guess all you can do is take what your body wants to give up... in the end, it will all work out.. I am sure. That is right.. keep on truckin!!..

tempted_by_food · 07-07-2011, 02:58 AM

Hi Deb!

Thanks!

Hi!! I used thinkhcgdrops (thats the brand) for most of my loss. I also used the pellets and other drops. I believe they all pretty much work the same. I only stuck with thinkhcgdrops because they were the first one I bought and was afraid that something else might not work. They did though.

All the best to you!!...

obraxton · 07-08-2011, 02:01 PM

I used thinkhcgdrops too!
I want to try the pellets whenever I go back on a real round. (for reshaping after I get to 200lbs!

Meek75 · 07-09-2011, 06:40 AM

Hey Deb. Have a good weekend!!

Thanks Meek, I am having such a good weekend, that I haven't checked in!.. WOW.. I am actually living life....

Yesterday was a pool day and it was HOT.. today is going to be hotter!.. so I plan to be in the pool today also... I am loving summer A L O T!..

As for my training.. I am down to 3 days a week officially with my BIL.. then I do a 4th day on my own, which I know the routines by heart now... and he adds things in for me to do.. He is just busy and this is my last month with him at my side...

HOWEVER... he has given me a plan and I will do it... I have a buddy that is going with me now, so we will push each other...

As for my eating... I am finding myself eating Steak, chicken, flax muffins TO DIE FOR EASY TO MAKE> LOVE THEM

Some fruit, cof/cream. Some veges, P2 chili, because I love it!..

Things that are basically low carb, although not 20 g. but low enough for me to be losing and feeling good.

I find my belly is full feeling most of the time. I don't have a desire to eat when I am not hungry. Must be ketosis, but I don't know for sure. I know I am probably eating more like 50 carbs/ day. However, since it is GOOD carbs and not crap, I believe I am in ketosis... love it!

Hope all of you are doing well... my friends who are not posting much, I hope you are just enjoying the summer and life!

Now here is the flax muffin/ bread, whatever it is recipe that I found here in the Atkins section. Forgive me for not remembering who it was, but it is NOT my recipe.

3 T. ground Flax
1 oz. cream cheese softened
1 egg
1/2 tsp baking powder
splenda to taste I just shake some in the bowl about a tsp or so?
Cinnamon

Mix it all together in a bowl and microwave for 2 minutes. Makes a BIG muffin type thinggee.. sprinkle some more cinnamon on it, and some butter... OMG!!! so good with my morning coffee!!!.. It comes out to about 250 cals, ( its BIG ) and only 2 net carbs... YUMMMMMOOOOO!!!!

shari · 07-10-2011, 08:00 AM

That muffin sounds good...I'll have to try it. Your attitude is wonderful!! Glad to hear that you're in a happy place, mentally and physically. Such an inspiration!!

Thank you Shari!! Compared to a year ago, I am a different person in so many ways.. my motivation is at its highest!...

I think you will enjoy the muffin, it also helps with regularity if anyone has that problem...
