Guess I'm Gunna Have To Start Counting Stuff...

I've prided myself on losing 100 lbs eating whatever I want, just a few bites. Well, after my band to sleeve revision 4 mths ago, I've only lost 22 lbs (knew I'd lose slower, started at 174). So I guess I'm gunna have to reevaluate my intake.

 

Counting carbs would be miserable. I was on Atkins induction for 4 weeks last Feb. I would've killed my mom for a cookie I think counting calories would be a better choice for me. Occasionally I count on myfitnesspal and I'm usually under 1200. Guess I hafta stay under 1000 to take off the last 20 lbs. Those last 20 r the hardest of all. for sure.

 

My goal is to maintain until after the holidays. Then I will take it seriously and lose the last 20. Hubby gained 40 lbs over the last 8 mths or so and he's doing the same thing (no, he hasn't had wls, just does Atkins).

    that is the one thing I don't want to have to do. I have spent my whole life tracking something whether it was carbs or calories or points. I like what CarolinaGirl said that we should eat what we want, of course making healthy choices, but limit the portions and EXERCISE. I want it to be a lifestyle, an every day thing that is done naturally, so far it has worked for me by listening to the soft signs. I am 3 months in and have lost 32 lbs, slow and steady, but it helps me to learn what to do. I still struggle with the going out to eat and portion control, so I get a to go box as soon as I order so that I can put the excess food in it right off the bat. Good luck!
