I have lost a total of 75 LBS. went from a size 20 to a 10 in jeans. Thought I would never get there but DONT say never! If you stay positive and work hard it can happen.

Last weight in for the month

Well tomorrow is my last weigh in for the month. Monday's are my weigh in days, I started doing that after I would weigh myself daily and if I did not lose I would be so discouraged and of course start eating. From experience, do not weigh yourself daily it will set you up for failure. Hopefully tomorrow i will be out of the 180's! Will let you know. It's been a good weekend, not even one cheat. Till next time, Keep motivated and stay strong for this long ride :drool: It will be worth it in th

I will get there, with determination and lots of will power and help from all you great people here at Lapbandtalk.com. Wishing you all continued success in your weight loss journey.

Thats probably why i have not lost much weight, i don't think i am eating enough. can anybody tell me, if that plays a big part in stalling, if your not eating enough calories?? I will continue to work on the calories and the protein and just see i

The scale is moving in the right direction now....

:biggrin: I've lost 5 LBS. this week, I'm so happy. I feel in control now. I hope it continues. I have been walking everyday and some days have been going for two walks. The evening are the worst for me as far as wanting to eat. I have been eating my protein first then if I still have room i will eat my veggie, then fruit. Most often i do not have room for the fruit so then i will have that for a snack, so far so good. As long as i am losing i will continue. it's amazing how much better you fee

I feel wonderfull!!

I feel wonderfull!! I am so glad I had the lapband surgery, It's working so well I still can't believe it. It's been almost four months and I am down 40 LBS.

I'm getting used to ea
