Well, I was wondering if this day would ever come. I have officially lost 100 lbs. since starting this journey. It has been almost 7 months since my surgery and I feel great. The last 4 lbs. I have lost has taken weeks. The good news is I continue to lose inches at a very good rate. I can comfortably wear 38 waist pants now and the 40 waist pants are officially too big. That is a great feeling considering I was in 52 waist pants less than 7 months ago. I am wearing more Large shirts now and many of my XL shirts are getting too big. This too is a great feeling because I was wearing 4xl only 7 months ago.
I had raised my calorie intake to 1200 calories a day for my strength training at the gym, it has helped my exercising and reduction in inches but it had slowed my weight loss. With my weight loss STILL being my main priority, I reduced my calories back down to 900 a day and lowered my carbs to below 80. That helped resume the weight loss and get me off my stall. I am only 16 lbs. away from my weight loss goal. It really seems attainable now that I am this close. I was hoping to reach my goal by January 1st but that is not going to happen. I am going to increase my cardio workouts, slow my strength training and keep my calorie intake down for the next month or so and hope to reach my goal by February 1st.
My surgery was on 5-25-2011 but it seems like years. I have to keep telling myself it has not even been 7 months yet. I am getting a little impatient now that I am getting this close.
