You can do this. You know everything you need to do to lose. Now just put it into action!!!! ????

I am 4 months out from surgery and have lost 20 lbs. I felt really badly about this until I started looking at it a different way. That's a little over a pound a week loss! So even if I'm on the slow side, I'm on the right track! And since I'm getting closer to the green zone and exercising, the weight is coming off a lot faster. Hang in there!!!! ????

So I realized since my surgery I've lost an average of 1 lb per week and if I can keep that up I'll be at goal on my one year anniversary. Since starting my 4:3 fasting and doing the pouch test this past week I lost 4 lbs and am getting a fill next week and meeting my nutritionist. I had really been down on myself for losing weight so slow but now I feel like I'm on track and I'm so thankful for all of you and for this site!

I don't see the one listed in Montclair?

We are going to continue into December on this link then start a separate New Years Challenge

Where is the one in Montclair?

Good ???? where you from? You can PM me if you want.

If you click on the bottom of the screen (there's a big + sign) it gives you the option to add exercise.

You could also look into getting a pedometer or tracker like the Fitbit, they have apps and are great motivators.

Are you on My Fitness Pal? It's a great app to track calories and exercise.

I'd definitely try to get at least 30 minutes of exercise in 3 days a week. That's what my surgeon recommends.

I love your determination Just Watch Me. You are always such an inspiration to me on the boards. Try to be kind to yourself, it is Thanksgiving week. I hope I can lose 5-10 lbs before my next fill so I can be down in the two teens and be on my way to Onederland. No matter how slow I've been losing. I think with the 4:3 fasting days it'll help me get where I want to be ????

Hang in there. Maybe try the Pouch test or a couple days of liquids to reboot your system. You got this ????

Almost in Onederland!!

Joining you all in the 4:3 fast to kick start my weight loss throughout the holidays and into 2015

I had the lap band at 27, I'm 28 now. I'm happy with my decision and thankful everyday for my band and the journey I am on. If something were to go wrong, I would try my best to work through it with the band but I know in the future there may be more medical advances which I may consider and if I fail to hit my goal weight in consideration with my surgeon I would go on to the sleeve if necessary but hopefully not until wayyyy in the future.

Welcome ????

228.8/228.8/224.6/223.4/225 Remember to keep posting your weights through December!!!

So far I'm happy with my band (I've had it since mid August) and lost a total of almost 35 pounds and am down to a size 16/18. I have discussed with my surgeon the possibility of revising to a sleeve if I'm not able to get to my weight loss goal with the band alone and he is supportive but says it is way too soon to discuss that in depth and wants me to give the band a fair shot. When I got the band I saw it as something that would be in me for life. I exercise and joined a gym. I give myself some days of liquid fasting and make sure I follow my nutritionists guidelines. My mom however is getting the sleeve in December and I'm hoping that we can support each other in our common journeys to lose weight together. I hope we all can support and be there for each other on this journey of self discovery and transformation!

I have a recumbent bike at home but find that I usually avoid using it so I recently joined an inexpensive gym for motivation and also as a way to get out of the house and have some me time. I already planned a weekly schedule for going. I already go to a local yoga studio once a week to get a yoga class in and do their free meditation classes Sunday mornings.
