More 'after' pics with a few notes following...



One thing I do to keep myself in check is I periodically measure my food just to make sure I'm still eating 1/2 cup of food at meals. Surprisingly, my stomach still stops me at about that point anyway. But the periodic measuring lets me know I haven't lost my ability to gauge how much food I'm eating. I do eat my protein first, so there isn't much room for other things and I try to keep my protein high. But I do eat what I want. For me, it seems that the quantity is what matters most. Also, I do NOT drink my calories (with the exception of a bit of wine now and then). I don't drink soda either. I'm worried about the effects of the carbonation irritating the lining of my stomach as well as the bloating/stretching possibility. I also have to make sure my calories aren't too restricted; when they are, the scale stops moving. I have to eat MORE to keep losing. Very strange, that phenomenon. 
Overall, I do try to eat healthy and stay away from fried things (they don't make me feel very good anyway), drink plenty of liquids, get plenty of protein (always eat it first) and only moderate exercise. Actually, when I was very active on my bicycle this summer, my weight loss stalled. I was doing 20-30 mile rides and burning a TON of calories, and I think my body straight freaked out. When I had an injury to my knee, and couldn't ride the weight started pouring off again. 
These are a few of the things I have discovered works for me.

  2. عملية تعبئة البودرة بالماكينات الأوتوماتيكية تتضمن الخطوات التالية:

    تغذية المواد: يتم تحميل البودرة في وحدة التغذية الخاصة بالماكينة.
    التعبئة والقياس: تستخدم ماكينات تعبئة بقوليات نظامًا للقياس يحدد كمية البودرة التي سيتم تعبئتها في كل عبوة.
    التعبئة والختم: يتم تعبئة البودرة في العبوات ومن ثم ختمها بشكل آلي.
