Long Time!!!

Keep it up girl. It actually sounds like your band might be too tight...you might wanna talk to your doctor about it. Good luck.

YES - keep it up and you will make the "onderland" goal - that's my goal too - i'm at 222 and i'd LOVE to be in onderland by Christmas - if not before. BEST OF LUCK TO ALL OF US ON OUR JOURNEYS!!!

It's been a year for me as well and I have only lost 50 lbs too. 10 months ago I thought that was bad but after meeting with a nutritionalist and trainer who use to be a national body builder, I learned that losing 50 lbs of fat is very different than losing 50 lbs. If we dont eat enough, especiall protien, we will naturally burn off muscle which looks like we are getting smaller and the scale goes down. For a lot of people they are happy with that. For me, I want to be LEAN. I want to lose the fat and keep the muscle. I have managed to do that now. So, that means, when I have a cheat meal or something that isnt "clean" I have enough muscle to maintain my metabilism and it gets burned off. For the people who are losing their muscle because they cant eat enough food when they have a cheat meal it will probably get stored as fat. Then they come on here complaining that the scale went up. I wish people would research how to lose fat and keep muscle. It would truly change their lives. Oh, by the way, what I did for my bandiversary? I HAD ALL THE FLUID TAKEN OUT! Now, I can eat as much as I need to. And when I have cheat food - its ok
