Just curious if anybody has first hand experience with those resistance bands you can buy..? I'm looking at a pack that has multiple bands all different resistance rating and you can hook them to your legs or feet or even under the door.. I don't get out the house much so looking for something that will help me without my core and my arms and belly area? Do they actually work? Do they actually make a difference? Tell me your stories Summer has just started here DOWN UNDER! I've just hit the 100lb goal but still hoping to lose another 20+lbs by the end of summer!! Need help toning under my arms mostly but generally need to gain some strength and muscle tone Thank you. Mike

That's great job

Very lucky to be able to have all that...I was on shakes only..

Follow the rules 'religiously'. Do not go off track at all. Keep focused on your goals. Go into every day with 150% determination. Look at every struggle with optimism. Keep your mental health in check. Sleep well every night. Do not let others influence you. It's not about the destination it's the journey. There's always gonna be another mountain I'm always gonna wanna make it move Always gonna be an uphill battle Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose Ain't about how fast I get there Ain't about what's waiting on the other side It's the climb

Cheers everyone

Finally hit my first major goal. 100lbs gone in 100 days Feeling great ? Feeling confident. from 322lbs to 222lbs my next goal is 200lbs then see how I look and feel might even get to 190 yet ? Thank you everyone.

Lots to think about

Um you better double check because some people I know had to start the diet from the day they started applying for the surgery. They may not take old information. A friend of mine had to do 6 weigh ins exactly one month apart and could not miss one then had to wait to submit that information.

Yes go back and look at every little thing your Are consuming

Rarely even think about food anymore. but I do keep busy all day when home ive got Netflix or my Xbox one or my Ps4 or you can easily go for a walk around town. Goto a museum or library or botanical gardens.

Yea ppl get threatened easily especially obese ppl they always change the subject whenever I talk about my achievements

Keep yourself occupied. Keep your mind off food. Plus I've been on shakes long term and doing great.. hardly think about food at all.. If I'm craving a little sweetness I'll have sugar free cordial or sugar free ice pops or a cuppa tea with Stevia; all the sweetness without the calories. Plus on black Friday I bought a Ps4 and spent like 3 hours just setting everything up; installing updates and playing games completely forgot about my tea time shake until like 9pm... Anytime you're alone or bored find something to Do that doesn't involve food... Netflix binges are great too

You'll sleep well after surgery

I agree with fluffy it also keeps me focused and on track everyday.

Plz do not just go for the cheapest option.... I've watched enough episodes of BOTCHED of people who went to Mexico... Get reviews and ask many questions.

Liquid means liquids

Sugar free ice pops are great. Um most protein drinks have sweet taste. I use like equal or Stevia capsules in my tea or coffee with no issues at all.. I sometimes drink sugar free cordial.. Plenty of safe ways to get a sugar hit..

There's so many varieties. I bought a cheap one and while it cooks most things that are easy back when I used to make chips it would only cook the top layer and would have to move the chips around to get even frying I guess the heat only came from above...

I totally understand thank you

Thank you I just live a very sedentary life. I know I have to try add exercise or even small weights.. I was Just worried have ii left it late to start?

That gives me hope it may rebound... I'm only 35. But have been overweight 20years.

Hey there need some advice from actual fitness people or those who were able to have some kind of success to tone or tighten even a minimal percentage of your loose skin? I'm currently 96lbs down and still plan to lose 25-35lbs. Throughout my journey I've really been concentrating on protein and fluids and losing weight pretty consistently at 1 lb a day. Time had flown by and I've just noticed my arms underneath are sagging and a little around my breast/chest area.. I'm admit my fitness and activity level has been low the whole time.. I suffer from social anxiety don't leave the house much... Anyway my BIG question is: is there any chance of me joining a gym or getting a decent piece of equipment or doing strength training which will make any difference at all to the skin under my arms? Like even a small amount? Like if I really start doing weights or dumbbells? The skin isn't a big deal but if I plan to go to the beach eventually after losing the 120-130lbs ? Or should invest in some special cream or one of those body wraps... I know this has probably been asked before? But I plan on starting something soon to help build muscle and if that helps I do not know. I am in no way a fitness person..... Thanks everyone....

Exactly I don't get why people go through so much to get this surgery Just to self sabotage..

Good job

Yeah pretty normal to float 10lbs either way..
