Stuck....?

Dear Stuck, This happens! You will have multiple "stuck" episodes over the next few years. I expected to be close to goal by the end of 1 year. Well guess what it did not happen. I had lost I had dropped from 252 to 170-180's which was good but to me it was not good enough. I sometimes thought I would never reach onederland in the band world and once I got there I got stuck again with 30 lbs left to lose. So I did what you are thinking about, I hired a personal trainer about 7 months ago and he has helped me reach my goals and basically I know have "body by Justin" It has been hard work but it has been so worth it, he has me eating better than I did my first year and ahalf of being banded. He has helped my self esteem and has helped me hold my self accountable. I get what he calls one cheat day a week, I can do what I want but guess what I don't If I want something say like a glass a wine, I plan it into my daily meal intake. I am one of those crazy OCD banders who log their food and yes I count my calories and measure my food. The one thing the trainer told me it I was malnourished, I was no way eating enough protein. I now eat between 90 -120 gms of protein perday. It is amazing how well I feel with exercise and eating right. If I can lose 120 lbs you can do this. Also remember to take your measurments, I have scale victories and meaure victories and they are never in the same month. Good luck to you!

when you get stuck give ketosis a go its only 3 days sweetie, totally healthy and it shocks you body you lose a few lbs in the process and then it gets your body going again I learned from this nutritionist. now I only lost 7lbs in 3 weeks and I freaked out I did Ketosis and lost 5lbs from wednesday morning til saturday morning =) and I'm hoping my body is back in track again and i'll keep losing now that i'm off kitosis. IF you dont now what ketosis is look it up or I'll be more than happy to tell you how to do it. No pills, or expensive food or products like some people think.
