yea, I think its important to eat a variety of food so we don't get bored of eatting the same things over and over again. Believe me I am on a hunt.
Oh, a good friend of mine on here says she mixes tuna with babybel light soft cheese. I will be trying that as well, so far I got several recipes on hand...

@eyeononederland - I really came up with a number that was realistic, although when I met with the psycologist he told me I would still be obese at 190 for what my bmi would be. Well, I will take 190 compared to what I weight now anyday. To me that is realistic, if I can get lower that would be awesome.
However, I will just take it one pound out a time

I love Breakfast, its my favorite part of the day...Now since I am banded I can't do breakfast 'right away' because the first thing I do when getting up is drink tons of Water so my belly is completely full. As I sit here and type this I am waiting for 12 noon to roll around so I can eat.I usually give myself a half hour after I drink water to eat anything. No, I will not skip it because I only eat 2-4 ounces per meal and need my nutrients to stay healthy avoiding becoming sick, thus avioiding in the future to be tempted by unhealthy foods by 'skipping' meals.

Enjoy...

As I am still losing weight, and I have a lot more to go, but...
I like that I am getting back into some clothes that were laying around forever in the closet.
I like that I can fit into jeans that are 4 sizes smaller.
I like that I can bend down to tie my sneakers/laces.
I like that I can walk and exercise without feeling like I would die.

@eyeononederland - I really came up with a number that was realistic, although when I met with the psycologist he told me I would still be obese at 190 for what my bmi would be. Well, I will take 190 compared to what I weight now anyday. To me that is realistic, if I can get lower that would be awesome.
However, I will just take it one pound out a time

I was thinking of when I weighed 169 pounds right before I had my daughter, although I was only 17 I remember being very firm and very athletic. I would deff describe my built as a large frame. I haven't been under 200 pounds in over 29 years so I have no clue what it even feels like. The closest I ever got down to was 259, I have to say I really felt good and comfortable even at that weight, even though it didn't last long before I would jump right back up to 300. This is my heaviest ever right now, i had gained 70 pounds in 9 months of 2011. I was soon diagnosed with having an underactive thyroid and I don't know if that amount of weight gain contributed to it.
I think out of everything I learned with my ups and downs with the weight is how tiring it becomes, the feeling of being so uncomfortable has to be the worse. Moving, simple things like bending and just getting around is complicated at this weight.

Lost 5lbs in a full week! I am very excited about the weight loss considering I am PMS-ing, and usually gain anywhere between 5-8lbs. I probably would of lost more if I wasn't.
