Glad to be a Loser!
Closing in on a year out.
I have mixed emotions on where I am at this point. For the first 7 months out of surgery I was doing amazing. I was hitting weight loss numbers well above the averages that my surgeon's office was comparing me to. I started running and had worked my way up to an average of over 20 miles a week and my longest run was somewhere around 10 miles a pop. I was averaging 10 minute miles in races. Labs looking good and sticking to my Vit plan.
Then the weight loss stopped and I have remained at my current weight +-2 to 3 lbs for months.
My exercise has continued in both duration and intensity. Last Sunday I ran my first half marathon. I feel good and most people tell me that I don't need to lose any additional weight.
My personal goal was to get to at least 85% excess weight loss by 1 year and unless a miracle happens I ain't gonna make it and that bothers me somewhat.
Here is the deal however: I know what the issue is! Too many carbs and not enough protein. The problem however is that I can't seem to get back on track!
I am not sure how I can accomplish so much but yet feel so defeated.
