I NEED FOCUS

Well, It's been a long time since I've reported back and I think it's because I've been happy with my total weight loss of 26.5 pounds that I haven't pressured myself to lose more weight. I've been wearing a size 14 jeans and my shirts are now large or XL...which is much better than the XXL I use to wear. Everyone at work has noticed and so have my friends...so I just feel good all the time. But, now I am ready to continue my weight loss journey! I've decided not to pressure myself...it'll come off as long as I watch what I eat. It seems that lately I've realized that I've learned to maintain my weight...which I still think is good. I told my husband to buy a box of the protein drinks because I'm going to jump start my weight loss by doing what I did before the surgery! I'm going to have 3-4 protein drinks a day for 4-5 days....I'm sure that I will lose around 4-5 pounds, which will put my under 190. Then, I'll keep going. We're getting close to May so I'm still going to try to reach my original goal of 40 pounds by May...that means 13.5 pounds in April...since there are only 3 weeks left in April, I'd have to lose 4-5 pounds a week. I may not make it...but anything close will make me happy! I'll keep updating...and let's see how it goes!
