Lost weight on vacay?! YES!

[Protein-Queen]

Hey all! I'm back with some good news. As you know, I started this journey back in February. I posted earlier about how much better my trip to Europe was because I had way more energy than before. I was a little worried I'd put some weight back on with all the pasta and gelato, but I saw my doctor last week and I'm officially down 21 kilos total (around 46 pounds)! That’s another 3kg gone since August.

My GP thinks all the walking I did helped, and honestly, I probably ate less than I thought. Attached are some pics from nearly a year apart. Another 20kg and I'll be thrilled!

If you're on any of these meds, I've heard you sometimes end up in unexpected places.

Thanks everyone for the kind words! I'm feeling really good and trying to maintain this lifestyle. It's not always easy, but soo worth it!

That's so true! I'm trying to incorporate more protein too. Anyone have some good high-protein snack ideas?

Protein shakes are always a safe bet. Also, Greek yogurt with berries is a good choice. Cottage cheese is making a comeback too! Just check the labels for added sugar.

Thank you! The first dress is from a little boutique I found in Lyon, and the other one is from a local shop here in Sydney.

I saw a recipe for high-protein banana bread that sounds delish. A nice treat for us GLP-1 folks! I'm going to try it this week.

Wow, Protein-Queen, losing weight on vacation is impressive! I'm generally very strict with myself, even when traveling. Maybe I should relax a little...

Does anyone have smoothie ideas? I'm looking for something high in protein and low in sugar.

I love making smoothies! I'll share my go-to recipe: protein powder, unsweetened almond milk, spinach, a few berries, and some chia seeds. Keeps me full for hours!
