I wonder if anyone is still following my blog because it has been two months since my last post. I'm finally 7 lbs away from being under 200 which is amazing, but my weight loss has been so slow I don't know if I can wait till this time next year to be at my goal weight. I'm frustrated because have also been working out a lot eating pretty well and only have three weeks till my husband comes home from his deployment. My goal was to weigh less than him when he came home, but since that isn't going to happen now I just want to be under 200. At this point I have to keep my nose to the grindstone and not fall back into unhealthy weigh loss traps. For example I have been kicking around the idea of going back on the pre-op liquid diet for the next three weeks. Why is it I can't be satisfied with my progress and be proud of where I am. The good news is I have never gained back any weight. I'm luckily a person who doesn't gain weight back, but I have a terrible time getting rid of it.
Because of my uncertainty I would like to know what you think.
1. Should I do the liquid diet for the next three weeks to make my goal of being under 200lbs?
2. Should I keep exercising and not weigh myself until after Chris comes home?
On a positive note I'm now running for 50 min at a time on the treadmill.

Great minds think alike? Well, we'll just have to see and then compare protein notes, yes??
Congrats on your loss -- and YES! I have missed you posting ;)
Then again - slow and STEADY wins the race. Which, it isn't really a race after all! Keep exercising, no weighing. Sounds like a 'PLAN' to me!!
I understand your frustration. I totally understand you wanting to do the quick, get there before Chris comes home thing. However, as your friend and for the sanity of your family I would suggest just working hard and doing your best. This isn't a race and you'll feel so much calmer when Chris is home that you will feel better able to workout and do this thang. BTW Are you going to do a mini-triathlon with me in August?:-)
I agree, no starving yourself! Just keep at it, you're doing great! Scales are awful. Don't weigh yourself at all.
You are a workout machine! I've heard how much you run on that treadmill. By far just do it the healthy way. You'll get there! You are already so beautiful, what's a few pounds?!
Oh, that's a tough one. Hang in there! Your so close! Slow and steady wins the race!
Hi Burgandy,
My name is Rebecca, ( I am Ginger Leemans sister) I was just wondering if I could ask you questions about your surgery? I am thinking of having it done. I would love to get the opinions of someone who has done it. My e-mail is beca_masin@yahoo.com.
Thanks
Rebecca
