Lap Band Gal

Ditto what Carolina said. I drink approx 100-112 oz day. Makes a huge difference in how I feel.

Obviously, I can't count. I'm 19 months into maintenance. ha ha

Jazzercise! Jazzercise! Jazzercise! I love Jazzercise. Check out this blog post that shows how much Jazzercise has changed my body shape, even though I am still the same weight on the scale. Let's talk about my back fat: http://lapbandgalsjourney.blogspot.com/2012/08/lets-talk-about-my-back-fat.html

I can honestly say that it's taken me up until about a month ago (14 months into maintenance) to really understand my smaller size. I can now look at clothes on a rack that are size M or L and hold it up and say to my self, "that's too big" So I guess it's taken over two years for my head to "catch up" with my body.

Good luck to you!

Hi Pat! How exciting that you're taking control of your health with the help of the band You can do it!

AWESOME!

I wish that there was an "easy button" but unfortunately, the band is not that. Ditto what Steph said above. You can do it!

Robin, how's your water intake? At least 64 oz per day?

Thanks for checking in So good to hear about your continued successes!

Yes, journalling your food is SO IMPORTANT. Give it a try. I journalled every single day for 14 months and lost about 111 lbs. Now in maintenance I journal about once a week just to double check my food choices and see where I'm at with calories and Protein counts.

YAY!!!!!!!!!

Welcome Skinny3! Glad to have you join us

Awesome post! Thanks for the update

Check out my blog post today showing how even though I weighed the same a year ago, I have changed my shape (smaller!) due to all the toning and resistance training I've done. The comparison pic is here: http://lapbandgalsjourney.blogspot.com/2012/03/i-enjoy-sharing-sweaty-shoes-with.html
