20 pounds down

I posted here about a month ago saying I'd lost 11 pounds and was proud though it wasn't much.

Well, now after a few health related setbacks (I have IBS D and had to take immodium two different weeks, which makes you retain water and weight).... I hit a new goal.

I'm now 20 pounds down!

5'10" 33F, start weight was 251. Now I'm 231.

I still have a long way to go. My goal weight is 190. I know this will still technically be "overweight", but it's still my comfortable, attainable goal for the year.

For reference, I've been doing basically the HMR program through my local hospital. Although I don't eat the HMR meals because they're too expensive and not enough variety, but they gave us a list of store bought meals to substitute and I've been eating those along with the HMR shakes and oatmeal, plus the encouraged five+ servings of fruits and veggies per day.

We have a nutritionist and a group support meeting every Monday. I feel it's been helpful.

Just wanted to brag about myself a bit. At times I didn't think I'd get here so this is big.
