Thanks Doll! I still feel like I have a long way to go but that's okay because it's my journey

Congrats what was ur daily regimen?

You look fantastic

Hello congrats what did u do? What regimen did u follow? I want weight loss like this. This is great .

My day has started well!! A few of you have asked me what I have done to maintain my weightloss for almost 4 years and what I have done to keep away from the dreaded lose skin.Here are a few examples from my daily routine..

1. Wake up 4:30am at the gym by 5:00am stretching by 5:15

2. Spin class from 5:30-6:30am

3. Drink A protien shake 10-15 min after work out

4. Get ready to work by 8 am

5. Eat first meal' date=' small oat meal OJ and a half apple sliced

6. lunch half chicken breast spinach salad, lemon juice for dressing and cottage cheese table spoons 1:00pm

7. snack dry almonds 8-10 pieces

8. dinner 1/2 Ground turkey patty 1/2 cup mashed potatos brocolie 7pm

9. Walk or jog with the dogs 1 hour

Lotts of water! i drink at least 10 bottles per day! Add resistance trainning to your work out! Remember you are losing weight very fast, you dont want to lose valuable muscle mass. Do a lot of reps not a lot of weight! There is no magic number just do it to muscle failuer, meaning do the reps until you cant do anymore!

I went from that to this! In two years! This is not an easy fix, it takes time and dedication! You can do it![/quote']

Hi Newme

I had my band just over 2 weeks ago. I am so glad I have had it. I feel it will be life changing. Being in control for once and hopefully losing weight and not putting it back on ! like I have done a million times.

I am feeling so much better already and am at a weight that I haven't seen in years.

Good Luck in your journey x
