slimmy120

Thank you for giving me positive feedbacks from the champix, i am going to aim definately not to eat , i will as suggested water through straw - great idea.

By the way i am five 4inches.I am at a size 14 now.

Has anyone got down to a size 10 or 12 nice lose fit? what size were you before? how long did it take you to get down to the small size??

I am going to make a big sign and put it on the fridge.Thanx for sharing.:thumbup:

I am on day two of taking the 3 tablets of champix, cigs are starting to taste funny.I have lost 63 pounds, so going to get to this smoking bit now!!

Doctor recommended another 32 pounds,and i know by checking the height weight charts thats correct. Maybe they jealous??

Has anyone been told by their friends (who are bigger than them note )that you are too thin, you dont need to lose weight when you have not even reached the weight for your height - I am 32 lbs from the weight i should be for my height -- i only get these comments from other females, the male friends all say you are doing well you just have a little more to lose.

Has anyone used champix anti smoking tablet? what was your success like?? did you put on weight after stopping smoking? any side effects??

I got lap banded on 18th sep 2007, have had 4 fills, last few weeks been getting really hungry, then followed everyones advice more protein, i still eat carbs, i just include more protein .Lost 62lbs to date.

Yep will do tell them i am not hungry, have been eating sensibly and moving more.

I find a 30 minute a walk every day helps, i must admit some days i dont, but some days i get carried away, but gets my metaolism going without much effort then, then i feel less hungry as well and weight comes off.

Thank you for all the advice, and yes i am in Australia. Chickie you look great! I like all the ideas. And as a general comment if someone asks is great, eating less and moving more -- actually that is what i am in theory doing. Thanks hope all you are doing real real well too.

I have been lapbanded,since sep 2008, havent told anyone, what will i do and say when going out to Sizzlers? eat the sensible things I know. How do other people cope when only smorgus board and you cant order what you normally do a small salad or soup etc??:biggrin:

Yes i agree, i tend to eat the same things over and over, but then have a craving and start eating that. I am aiming to excercise more, am making certain eat right and drinking water, will change my routine as you suggested, taste the new bits -- but yes healthy.I tried miso soup the other day, lovely as i like salty things, and of course previously loved the sweets --- but i did say previously.

I have been reading everyones responses, after reading various posts,on this question and others I noticed YOU have to combine a few things together -- your head,you have to be motivated, what you eat, and excercise. You need to do all not just one to get the results you want, and it can be done!!

I started eating and eating again, but started taking my antidepressants again and it helped.

I was 204lb when got lab banded on 18sep2007 now down to 144lb,and going strong!!Very little excercise just the walking, but if i increase maybe will speed things up -- in fact i know it will!!!:biggrin:

I find i get munchies at night time, i try to drink lots of water first, then maybe give into crackers, or yogurt or fruit.

My port is just on the waist, and when i stand it sticks out, and when i lye down to roll over it sticks right up.:biggrin:

I am finding the more weight i lose, the more confident and actually ascertive i am becoming, everyone says they like that i,and i am a dooer now not the old gonna ---- like i am gonna lose weight, Now I am doing it ,I AM LOSING WEIGHT AND GOING TO KEEP GOING TILL I LOSE ALL THE WEIGHT I WANT TO <THEN I AM GOING TO KEEP IT OF!!!!!!:biggrin:

Going to drink more water, and excercise.
