Haha, happy days! Finally broke down and bought some new clothes since I basically had to keep hold of my pants to keep them on. Bought a pair of jeans 2 sizes smaller that what I wore, and they were actually kinda big still! I could have bought the next smaller size! This feels like a win to me... :-P

I've been keeping myself busy, so I have not been on here much, but here is an update. I am now at 311 lbs.(started my journey at 403) and working hard to get under 300 for the 1st time in probably 15 years! I've gotten into a routin now where I walk 1 mile(1.17 actually) in the morning, and then I walk anywhere from 1-2.5 miles in the evening! Will be joining my local fitness center in January as well. Getting my vitamins, protein, and liquids in every day is a piece of cake now.

I guess the only thing that I need are better food ideas? I get bored eating the same things over and over. So anyone have any interesting recipes to share?

WOOHOO!!!!!  Great job keep up the good work.

Congrats on your weight loss.

I've heard if you search "the world according to eggface" she has a lot of recipes.

Check out Nik's blog http://bariatricfoodie.blogspot.com/

Chicken:
Mix thoroughly 8 ozs FF sour cream, 1 can FF cream of chicken soup and one pkg. Liptons dry onion soup mix. I then put 4 chicken breasts in the crock pot and cook on low for 4 hours or so. Very moist and tender with a soupy gravy. You can also bake but slowly like 325.

Put chicken in either baking dish or crock pot and douse liberally with salsa. Crock on low for 4 hours or bake slooooooowly.

Both so easy and fall apart tender. Just cook SLOWLY?

excellent!  I haven't had to buy new pants yet because my gut is the last place I lose weight!  My pants are bigger though.

I am fond of fried eggs with runny yolks lately.  I can't eat scrambled eggs anymore but fried is cool

I just started my journey towards RNY today!!! So needless to say I'm googling for all sorts of information and found this site: http://www.leanitup.com/30-protein-packed-small-meal-ideas-under-250-calories/2/         Obviously since I haven't yet been through the surgery I don't know all of what can/can't be tolerated but these looked interesting/tasty. Hope it helps

 

Way to go - it is a great feeling when you can buy new clothing for sure. I have some recipes on y blog - linky below - stop by and check them out. Congrats again on your new digs.

Oh good news on the WL!!  I've been wondering how you've been doing.  I do 30 minutes of walking a day and started my exercises yesterday.  Also VERY bored with eating.  Still having some trouble getting all of my liquids and proteins in.  Thanks for posting, as it is a very good subject.  Best wishes.  -Les
