liz_hager started following Advice needed! Lipodissolve? Tummy Tuck??, August 1 - January 1 Challenge, Exercise and and 7 others

Come lose weight with me! This challenge goes out to any and all who want to get back on track, stay on track or just jump start their weight loss. I'm planning on using this challenge to get back on track and loss those last 20 pounds. So my goal is lose 5 pounds a month from now until January, to exercise each month for at least 1200 minutes and to mostly eat healthy food. Each Saturday, I will post my weight and exercise minutes. My rewards for meeting my goals are a new bathing suit, a manicure, a new haircut, and a new ring. Starting................Current....Goal.......Difference liz_hager...............160..........140.......20

For me, as far as exercise goes I just do what ever I feel like doing. Sometimes its a step classes and a weight lifting classes, sometimes its Zumba or sometimes just swimming. I'd get so bored just doing the treadmill all the time or just walking. I have a gym membership so I've tried just about every class they offer, right now I'm really into kickboxing. But if you don't want to join a gym for variety, get some workout DVDs. My coworker has a library full of DVDs that she'd brought from the viedo store or online. If you want exercise info or advise, I highly recommend Shape and Fitness magazines. Both have good health advise and offer some workout ideas. Good luck!

My pouch closes up 4 weeks after a fill WHY?
liz_hager replied to JWood1967's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I too have been going through the same thing of getting a fill, going home and doing just fine for a few weeks and then all of sudden vomitting for a week to 10 days and then going to the doctor for an unfill. I've been trying to do only liquids for a days now to see if will get better so I don't have to get unfilled but nothing seems to work. -
I'm down two more pounds, but these last two days have been really hard. I've been really tight and been really hard to eat anything except liquids, so I'm seeing how things go this weekend and if I'm not feeling better on Monday, I'm thinking of calling my doctor to see if she can take a tiny bit out.

Updating my stats, I'm down another pound. But I have to say ever since my fill last month I've been losing these pounds the hard way. I've had alot more restriction and so I've had to be super careful about what I eat and drink. Last week, I PB and so these last couple of days I've been doing only liquids, just so I could keep something down. I'm finally starting to feel better today, so I see if I can switch to mushy food tomorrow. Name.............. Start ..........Current..........

So I'm crossing every thing that I can cross and praying that this fill is the ever elusive sweet spot.

I so gald you started this thread because I'm going though the same thing! For the last six months I've been gaining and losing the same two pounds over and over. About two months ago I went back to the back to my doctor for a fill and now I'm down about 3 pounds. I knows that not alot, but I'm so glad I'm down a few pounds. I have another appointment for another fill on Monday so I'm really this one will help me finally lose those last 10 pounds. I'm been really trying to stay positive and to focus on the fact that the band is for life and it really doesn't matter how long it takes me to lose the weight, it only matters that each day I take the steps to be a healthier and happier me. My advise, just keep doing what your doing, you doing great and the weight will come off, it just takes time.

I had a fill in mid-janurary and have another scheduled in two weeks so I'm really hoping this next fill will knock me off this plateau and jump start so more weight loss. And if one is in Oregon, please join my facebook group, Oregon Lapband Support Group.

Last of 2008 Weight Loss Challenge
liz_hager replied to FeliciaLevy75's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hey Everyone! This Challenge has been so difficult for me. I've been too tight which jut lead to throwing up way too much and now that I've had an unfill, I feel hardly any restriction. So I back for some support. I've really need it. But I'm trying to stay positive and get back into the weight loss groove...and I'm happy to stay that I have another appointment in Januray to have another fill. And this time, I'm gonna try to be really careful with my eating, so I can get good restriction. We report again soon.
