Ladies I have been BUSY! I have been on "vacation" from one job since Tuesday. Because I took time off but wasn't able to do what I had planned I took my normal Tuesday/Wednesday off and have worked doubles at Chilis. 20,000 steps yesterday! 1014 cals. Hopefully the scale will move! I work today too but then I have the next 3 days off.

Ladies I am doing good 100 plus ounces of Water each day and keeping my calories at 1000 or less. I am also getting back in to running/jogging/speed walking. I used to do 4 miles a day. My knee and back won't let me so I am doing 2 miles. I am only 27 and really trying to lose this last 35-40 lbs to get me to 150. I am already having a hard time finding shirts that fit my rib cage and shoulders. Hopefully I will lose some weight there. food is planned for the day and I have my water ready for the day too! I won't get off work tonight until 12:30 and it is barely 11:00. Long day ahead and the next 2 are even longer! Wish me luck!!

I've got a confession. I don't exercise...gasssssp, I know! I haven't but a handful of times throughout my journey. So, my goal for a healthier life is to start incorporating some type of physical activity daily. So today I'm going to strive to get in a 30 min. Jillian Michaels 30 days shred workout. Wish me luck:-)

Down 2 lbs and getting in at least 100oz Water a day. Really working on Protein and types of foods going in my mouth. I am getting in at least 10,000 steps and usually get in about 13,000.

I've been able to stay at or below 1400 calories every day this week. And I'm up to 14 flights of stairs at work. Woot woot!

I am needing a true accountability partner. I keep fluctuating 4 pounds up and down. I have about 40 pounds I need/want to lose to be at my goal weight. I am 190 right now. I am 1.5 years post op and am ready to be in maintenance for the last time. I was happy where I have been and have been in maintenance for about 7 months. I am ready to complete this last stretch. I need someone that will help me stay accountable and on track.

843 calories, 1 hour of walking (video), 72 ounces of Water, 32 ounces of Protein shakes...Protein, Fiber, & carbs are all spot-on. I've had a stellar day! Hope you all have as well!! I'll check in tomorrow. Let me hear from you!!

Took a sick day today because I was in too much pain to return to work after my minor surgery Friday. Took my pain pills, slept some, read a book, let my mom cook me lunch, walked my dog. Had a doctor appointment with my PCP whom I haven't seen since June. "Hi there, Skinny!" Made my day. My cholesterol is normal without meds. Yay! He was very happy with my weight loss progress.
It was easy to stay on my food plan today. 1060 calories. Some good stuff in the fridge for the coming week too. Two kinds of chicken and a pot of chili.
I'm feeling better and will return to work tomorrow. Back to the stairs for exercise.

Did not make good eating choices yesterday ( Sunday) had all my kids over and had a good time! Tout, today is a new day! My eating plan:
B-- coffee, boiled egg, lite baby bel cheese
L-- chicken with green chile sauce
S--hummus, few thin pretzels
D-- 1/2 hamburger patty and trying some quinoa.
Got my Water ready and plan to walk this afternoon when it warms up
Have a great Monday!

10,600 steps in so far and was running around like mad woman at job #1. I have eaten half a red pear,1oz sharp white cheddar, 1/2 oz beef Jerky and half a boiled egg. I am going to have a light tortilla with turkey pepperoni and part slim mozzarella and a little pizza sauce for lunch and a Protein Shake for a snack here in a few minutes. I have had 60oz of Water so far. At least 40oz before the night is over.

Bird feeders filled. Ready for football and drinking lime Water. Need to get the Vitamins and minerals in too. dinner plans are Tomato Soup and muenster cheese wrapped with lettuce. Enjoy your day! Best wishes with the pouch test Titan 05!

Absolutely love this running post! Will start a 5 day pouch test tomorrow after essentially 2+ years of giving up after being banded in February of 2010. I have moved from the Houston area so I will need to find a new doc for fills and now my new insurance doesn't cover anything bariatric. I am 44 years old, 5'10, 260 and need to lose 60 pounds. Here we go!

Well ladies been have some issues trying to reply on this thread but I am going to try again. I had some coffee with cream, Splenda 1 tsp of sugar for Breakfast. I woke up extremely late and had to rush to job #1. I have already had 72oz of Water in for the day and I don't get off job #2 for another hour. On my way to job #2 I had beef Jerky and cheese and then a few toasted coconut chips. For lunch/dinner I had grilled chicken with broccoli a little ranch and some A1. I did have a 44oz iced tea with a little sugar but mostly Splenda and 2 cups of hot green tea today. I really don't have time to exercise but I make sure I get at least 11,000 steps in a day.

Same here but I work 2 full time jobs. Working out hasn't been something I can do very often. I do get 10,000 plus steps in a day at least.

It works as long as you stay true to yourself. I am 16 months post op and have 42 pounds to lose until I am at goal. I fell off the wagon and gained 3-4 pounds and as soon as I realized it and was honest with myself I got back on track. Down 3 pounds in 5 days. Just be honest with your self and make the right choices! You will do great!!!!

Make sure to walk to help with the gas pains. Sip Water as often as possible and if you get nauseous you might try hot mint tea. It helped me a ton! You got this!!!
