Go With the Flow

So long as I stick with my plan, the weight loss comes in waves. The tide pools may be deep, but I will get there eventually if I just go with the flow...

UPDATE: After one year on SparkPeople, I am still going with the flow. I've come a long way, and I hope to keep going for another 20 pounds. I'll have to wait and see what the next year brings!

Current Status:
RHYMESWITHBABY added shredded coconut to my smoothie today. Didn't work out the way I thought. No coconut flavour. But I guess the added fibre is a good thing.

My Goals:
I always said I would never let myself go over 200 pounds, or wear clothing size 20 or above. Well, I hit 202 pounds, and found myself buying a pair of size 20 jeans. That was it!

A little over a year later, I am almost 60 pounds down and currently a size 6. I still want to lose more weight, but the last 15-20 pounds are proving to be a challenge.

My Program:
At 5'2" tall, I started out eating between 1200 and 1550 calories per day, then when I joined a gym and started exercising a lot more, I got an extra 90 calories to play with. Now that I am less than 150 pounds and doing regular weight training, I'm having a hard time figuring out the right calorie range for continued weight loss.

Personal Information:
I had hip replacement surgery at the age of 44 due to a congenital condition that caused osteoarthritis. I had wanted to take up running once I got below a certain weight, but my doctor informs me that the impact of running will be a problem for my hip no matter what I weigh. So now I do my "running" on the gazelle machine.

Other Information:
I started out using this site because it has an iPhone app for tracking what I eat. I now realize it is so much more. I am always reading articles, trying recipes, finding inspiration in so many ways. I love SparkPeople!

Hiya, thanks for commenting on all my blogs : ) I know I take too long to say it, but I do always read them and really appreciate it! Makes me feel like I'm writing for a reason rather than just talking at a wall.

Way to go on your weight loss. You look amazing. I bet you are so proud of yourself. Love the pictures of your transformation.

Also thank you for posting on my blog. I too need to start eating protein with every meal. Just need to get into the habit. But I am hoping to see the benefits soon.

Cheers,

MJ-

Are you doing weight training with a PT? What does he/she say about calories? May I ask how many you are reaching for every day? Sorry if I'm being nosy.
Thanks for commenting on my blog and helping me figure all this out.
