    3. Take vitamins everyday
    4. Start excersing 30 minutes 4x per week
    5. Yoga and pilates 3x per week.

    BIG GOAL: Be 159.9 by Feb. 1st!!!

    I have worked out the last two days so far. I am pretty sore. I am also doing better getting my protein shakes in. Still need to work on my water intake though.

    Hope everyone else is doing good!

    Its been a week so I am checking in. I worked out 5 days last week and plan to continue that. 3 days weight training and do cardio all 5 days. I have NOT gotten any better with getting my water in. I have actually gotten worse. I have slightly improved with regards to my protein shakes. I am really going to work on those two things this week. I have lost 2lbs so far.

    I am down from 220 to 208. My goal was 21lbs for January to get to onederland. 11 down, 9 to go and 3 weeks left. I'm feeling confident.
    I have 6lbs to lose to be considered overweight and no longer obese. So really 2 goals for Jan!

    Checking in as well on the 10th. 1/3 of the way through the month, down 3.2 lbs so on track there. Haven't been swimming as much but am more than getting my exercise cleaning out 120 yrs (4 generations) of stuff in my MIL's house. Loving that even though I'm moving furniture and hauling heavy garbage bags I'm not nearly as sore as I was 90 lbs ago just carrying in groceries. Drinking lots more fluids. Back to filling up 5 bottles of water and either drinking them or using the water to make tea as an easier way to keep track of my 100 oz a day.
    Still fighting a head/chest cold on day 12. Seems to be taking me longer to get over things these days....
    Keep on keeping on, folks!

    Start weight 335, down to 218, up during gastritis. Have accepted there is no way to lose it with my hypoglycemia. Current weight 260. Currently doing 10 day sleeve reset and determined to get back down to my post surgical weight or close to it.

    BUT - I'm down to 322, which means I've lost what I needed to for surgery, and I still have 6 days (3 of which are liquid-only)!!
    Too early to evaluate my after-surgery goal, I'm 6 days out!

    You did great! 1 day of 50 won't usually throw you off that much....and it's good you had some beer if you were craving it as it will be a long while before you can again.... Atkins rocks, no wonder the group I'm working with uses Atkins as their guide for before and after surgery eating
