  1. So here is my question. I eat very healthy during the day, perfect portions and good choices. I exercise almost every day. I am losing weight, about 2 lbs a week (banded 3.27.13 and 23 lbs down) but I know I could do more if I didn't go crazy every night. I drink wine, make a pretty indulgent dinner (my new thing is to sauté a lean cuisine with olive oil and add maybe a lil meat) and literally I can eat like 5 Rice Krispie treats or fiber 1 bars. How do I make myself stop if I am still losing weight slowly? Any advice? Thank you:)
  2. Hey everyone! Banded 3/27 and at 22 lbs weight loss. Amping up my workouts (as well as focusing in calories) to amp up my progress. Been doing quick 20 minute jogs before work but one of my coworkers recoed longer incline walks for weight loss. Thoughts? Makes sense as I actually find it harder to walk on an incline than jog flat! However jogging just seems like more if a workout. Thoughts?
  3. Has anyone else experienced this? Yesterday I had the perfect eating day after a weekend completely off the wagon and actually now weigh 2 lbs more than I did yesterday! Wtf! Has anyone experienced this? Are the weekend transgressions showing up on my body now? Ugh...I was hoping for at least a bit of instant gratification by way of like half a pound...but gain? I only had about 700 calories yesterday!
  4. This is so helpful. I thought it was only me with noticing the "lows" going down!!! Totally agree, I need to string many of those good days together also as someone mentioned I totally never lose eating a lot of carbs. I'm sticking to veggie burgers and sashimi (just the fish no rice) a scrambled egg at breakfast...my only carb is a mission low carb tortilla with laughing cow spread around 4pm. Will keep the good days comin!
  5. These are all awesome perspectives to hear. I started using my fitness pal today so I will have to write down everything I eat. No point lying to myself! It's interesting to hear how the band effects people though. I can literally eat anything I want after 3 fills!!! My doctor is taking me up slowly (I think I'm at 6 or 6.5 ccs about 2 months post surgery). As long as I chew slowly, I get full but if I want to indulge I can. You are all convincing me to be more vigilant and not listen to the devil on my shoulder that says "you had such a good day and worked out, a few Snacks won't kill you!) Will keep updated with my progress. Can't wait to try the teeth brushing trick today
  6. Thank you! Great advice! I am going to try the hot bath. I am definitely pushing it I'm still going in often and will go in next week. I know I need to get it together to stay on track w weight loss! (Writing from the elliptical)
