Yes stuff like that, I can't imagine it would change the texture , one way to find out I guess, I'm not banded yet but getting worried about the hair issues people seem to have

Could you maybe add unflavoured protein powder to some things you already eat ?

Lol , I have seen a runner underestimate how fast he could run and flew off the treadmill ,so it happens to the best of us,I'm never embarrassed at the gym , everyone is there for the same reason ans as I have learned people who are really passionate about fitness never judge

You look great! It's amazing how different people's faces look

I know its old school but my trainer tell me push ups and pull ups sooo hard for most women at first but you would be surprised how fast you gain upper body strength with them

That's awesome!

I started walking on the treadmill then the stepper , the trainers at the gym will give you a low down on how to use the weights and if the free weights scare you start on the circuit weights they are easier to figure out, go to a fitness class they are great and a good trainer will always show you different moves for your fitness level and most important HAVE FUN , yes they gym can be a fun place to be

I think its more of a lack of parental supervision, my son goes with me (hes 14) and uses the gym as it should be used but I see a lot of parents just drop the kids off and do their own thing , I have also seen parents bring their young kids throw them in the play area and go work out which is not cool.

Glad you figured out what the issue was

That's awesome ! Congratulations

That's awesome!, it's so good and reassuring to read positive posts

How exciting , good luck!

Love skinnytaste she has a ton of scaled down recipes ,I have made a lot of them and they have been very good

It worries me that your Doctor dismissed the idea of a potential problem with band placement without any investigation , I would see if there are issues with the band first before you get a plication done , if all is well then plication might give you what you need IMHO

Best of luck !

I take a sf fudge bar ff coolwhip and a tb of peanut butter mix it all up and it like soft serve but only about 100 cals gets rid of sugar craving for me anyway

I feel for you for sure, sometimes food is the only hug we get , the little bit of a warm blanket we need, don't be ashamed try to change the behaviour maybe distract with something you enjoy to keep your hands busy until it passes . Food is a hard addiction to break , hugs to you I've been there

That's crazy , sorry you are going through that, you may be right about the vitamins though on an empty stomach they will make me sick to my stomach maybe try going off of them and see if that helps

You look awesome !

You are not the only one, I opened a post with PINK font and left , I find them very hard to read so I tend not to bother

Thank you for posting this, I agree a calorie is not a calorie , it takes me a lot less food and a lot more gym time to get any weight off

Never even had a banner on this site even close to something like that

You look awesome , that's a crazy amount to have lost congratulations !

I have those same thoughts, what if this my last resort doesn't work what if I stay fat , all I can do is get the band and think that I CAN do this that I WONT fail

62 pounds since January is awsome
