I have lost 13lbs this last month, which seems to be my average....that means, if the pattern holds I will be in onderland in the next couple weeks (current weight is 207.8) down from 288. A size 16 is getting baggy, and I wear a large shirt...from a 24w and 3x top. The past week, I have noticed my hair loss is slowing down significantly (thank you Jesus!) I am doing quite well. I still sometimes struggle to get all my protein in...some days I feel like I could eat a horse, and others I barely can stand the thought of eating. I still eat about 1.5-2 oz of dense protein at a time, that seems to be all my little 34f bougie can hold. I sometimes cheat and have things off plan...that is a rare occurance, but I feel as if I completely take everything out of my diet then I will feel deprived and want to eat a ton of junk. I am not the perfect sleever, but I am real, and do the best I can. Usually my carbs are below 40 and my calories on average are around 700. I am so happy with my decision!!

You look great! I understand totally what you mean about having something now and then so you don't feel deprived. I did the same...allow a bite or 1/2 of a serving of something not usually on the menu. Moderation is the key to keeping it off once you get to goal. Great job!

 You are looking FANTASTIC! My daughter was looking over my shoulder and said "She looks GOOD!". You are rocking your sleeve and doing so well, keep up the great work!
