New Goal - July 6

My fiance' and I are attending 2 parties on July 6. One of which is a WHITE PARTY .... uggggg the most unflattering color to someone trying to lose weight and watch their figure. So I'm setting a small goal for myself ... I want to lose 5 lbs in the next 10 days ... let's see if i can make this happen.

Unconscious liquid Diet

Well ... I weighed in at 242 this week ... down from 247 from the week before .... the reason was simple ... I took in less calories than I expended .... not because I watched what I ate or because I went to the gym a lot ... but because I fell into a DEEP DEPRESSION because my fiance' and I had had one of the WORST arguments/fights/spats/issues in the entire course of our 4 year relationship. I couldn't eat, could barely sleep, I didnt get out of bed for like 36 hrs unless it was to go to the b

Day 14

Well .... In a previous post I mentioned that I usually don't feel the restriction of my fills immediately. It takes 2-3 weeks then out of nowhere I start to feel that restriction and I have to alter how I eat ...   Well my last fill was May 30 and I was discouraged for several reasons: 1. I had been losing weight at a FABULOUS pace from Feb-Mar ... but I had some sever acid reflux issues and I got an unfill.   2. Because of the unfill I gained about 7-8 lbs ...   3. I went back and got G

Chia Seeds

Welp ... I'm sure you can imagine that I ended up on the Lap Band's doorstep because I tried every other diet/workout/fad imaginable to lose weight ... and somehow still needed more help.   I've tried Atkins, South Beach, Weight Watchers, Paleo, Green Tea pills, Phentermine pills, B-12 shots, Lipo Shots, Liquid diets, and any other thing you can think of.   I was very unimpressed with the side effects that the pills and crash diets had on my body - jitters, constipation, etc.   And as I am

Weigh In 6-11-13

Welp, the scale said 248 this morning .... SIGHHHHHHHHH.   Ive posted the lap band rules in my cube in TWO places so I can see them all the time. I need to get them burned into my eyeballs thru repetition until I start making them a daily habit and lifestyle.   I feel like I'm in bandster hell right now ... and I say that bc I have a time period between when I get my fill, and when I actually FEEL my fill (2-3 weeks) so right now even though I know I have a fill I still haven't started to fe

Ugggggg

I started the week at 243 .... yesterday the scale said 247 - what the HECK?!?!?!?!   This past weekend I was on liquids because of my recent fill, now Im back on solids and that 4 lbs just jumped on???? SIGH   AT least I'm getting my protein in.   And I went to the gym twice already this week and I'm going again today for more cardio.   Maybe I'll try to do a liquid breakfast and a liquid dinner for the next couple of days and see if that makes a difference. (I can't eat liquid lunch on

Lap Band Rules

With so many things to think about on this lap band journey, I feel like I've forgotten some of the rules that could be leading me to more weight loss. One commenter on my last post brought it to my attention that I need to make sure I get my daily protein amount in ... a rule I forgot about.   And it makes me wonder, what other rules am I neglecting? 1. eat only 1 cup of food 2. eat all of your protein first, then veggies, then carbs 3. don't drink with your meals 4. get in your required

Introduction

Hello all, I figured I needed to start a blog to try and keep myself accountable for my goal of "wedding weight loss" in the next 5 months. That assumption comes from the fact that teh last time I actually set a weight loss goal (going on a cruise) I posted about it on this website regularly, and I accomplished my goal and I had people cheering me on.   So fast forward to now - I have been banded for 14 months, I have lost about 25 lbs (but more inches and toning) and I am getting married thi
