Weight loss has slowed. Used to be a pound a day, now I am lucky to lose a pound a week. Better to "not lose" than "gain," I suppose. I caught a glimpse of me in the mirror and was stunned at how "small" I am.
Found a wonderful protein bar. Think Thin bars. I bought them at Whole Foods or they can be purchased online. The Limited Edition Think Pink is VERY tasty in Lemon Burst and White Chocolate Raspberry. The Dark Chocolate Blueberry was disappointing. Not very blueberry-y. The regular bars in Brownie Crunch and Chocolate Fudge are typical chocolate protein bars, but they have ZERO grams of shug-ah. They DO have sugar alcohol if you are monitoring your intake (for poopy reasons, I presume). I highly recommend the Lemon Burst. Get 'em while you can! :0)

Month six - 246 Pulling a Benjamin!
First, I want to thank my readers....all three of them.... It is awful nice of you to read my prose of self indulgence. Thank you for your comments and critisism. It means you care.
Second, I want to thank my family and support group. Without them, I would not have made it thus far. They give me the strength to go on.
Lastly, I am grateful for medical science. Without this surgery none of this would be possible.
Okay, now that I got my acceptance speech out of the way.....
FUCK YEAH!!!! I just lost 100 pounds. ooh baby, ooh baby. *doing a stupid little dance*
Last weekend, I hit the 99 pound mark. I thought FOR SURE I was gonna hit 100, but I stalled. I was losing a pound a day and then, BLAMMO, brick wall. I was frustrated because I was walking and eating right and getting my protein and still nothing. But the scale revealed to me I am on my way again. I know this sounds stupid, but I FELT smaller yesterday. The scale didn't show it, but I could FEEL It. I was walking taller and wanted people to notice me, DAMMIT! Look how hot I am!
In honor of my goal, I bought a pair of Maui Jim sunglasses. My old pair were pitted from hitting the pavement so many times and one lens was crackled from being thrown (oops). It is amazing how well I can see now! LOL I have also bought some new pajammies and a few shirts to celebrate.
Next goal: 195. That is only fifty pounds away. blech.
