Weight Loss for tubal reversal surgery

I'm cheering you on, Jade! With the dedication you have shown so far, you're sure to reach your next goal. I'm inspired by your hard work and resulting success!

Good luck with your surgery! It doesn't sound like you need to drop too much weight so you might pass your goal going at that rate. I am curious why are you having the reversal? Did you change your mind to have another baby? I'm just wondering because I'd actually like to have my tubes tied but I am very young. I have 2 kids and I don't think I should have anymore kids. I always think when my sisters have kids I'll just come play with their children for the day.

Go Jade! Go! I love my Wii Fit - the lame marching game is the one that keeps me going. I always keep trying to get a perfect score. I also like the 'running' game. I've been having a tough time lately. I'm not sure if the problem is that I'm afraid to get to 200lbs, but every time I get kind of close, I completely blow it. I need to step back for a bit and think about this. I may have to change my short-term goals to something that doesn't have anything to do with my actual weight (like working out 5 times out of 7 days, of something like that). I still want to reach 180 lbs by the end of December so I need to be careful to take my time and do this right. I really only need to lose about one pound per week so I have the luxury of not being too hard core... Anyway, I'll mull over my issue with motivation and this fear I have to getting to where I want to be. In the meantime, I'm SUPER happy to see you're doing so well! Keep it up!

Wow! Looks like you've got the perfect attitude over there. Keep up the great work - don't forget: don't deprive your body of the fuel it needs to keep you going. :)

Give yourself and your body some time. We all have numbers we want to achieve by a certain date, but sometimes it just doesn't work out. The numbers game is a motivation - a reason to push ourselves to see if we can reach the brass ring. If it doesn't happen within the timeframe you've set for yourself it doesn't mean you're not trying hard enough. Our bodies are resilient - they don't always want the same changes we want for ourselves. Give it some time to come around, treat it well, feed it properly and you'll see that you'll get there. And when you do, the victory will be that much sweeter (even if it is that no calorie Splenda stuff LOL!). Now, go eat something, you crazy girl! :)

Jade, if you're looking for good sources of protein, you should check out quinoa and soy products. Tofu might not be your thing (ick, not really mine either), but you might like soy pudding, soy chocolate milk, soy protein powder in a shake with fruit? Eggs and yogurt are also good (check the labels on your yogurt, many are loaded with sugar). Lentils and most beans are also high and protein.
