January Bandsters???
Just checkin in! I have been away for a week and a half due to my step daughters wedding and father in law staying here. So glad it is all over!!! My dress fit so good and I was so happy! I was very premenstrual and finally got my period so I will weigh in on Friday. I feel like I have lost but I have been eating anything since my father in law was taking us out a lot. For the first time in my life I was told by my father in law that he was concerned about me since he noticed I didn't eat that much!!!! Can you believe that???? I have never ever been told that!!!!!!!! So either restriction kicked in or being premenstrual and on my period made my band tigther. I eat about 1/3 of what I used to but can eat anything with out restriction or having to eat slow. I don't know if I want to push it with a 2nd fill. If I keep on losing I will leave things alone till I stop losing. I will know for sure on Friday. Hope you are all doing well!!!! Audree

Just checkin in. I am doing good. I have not been eating much and my quantities are small. My band is tighter but I think it is stress making it tighter. My step daughter is getting married in a week and she is so stressed she has been taking it out on me. I did lose 1 pound on my Friday weigh in!!!! I am also premenstrual. Today I had coffee for breakfast Lunch was carne asada with beans, cheese and salsa Dinner was some trail mix with dried friut and some nuts I only got like 45 ounces of water in today. How are you all doing/

Weight Lifting
For women we are to use lower weight and higher reps. The sets and as many reps as possible is what I was told. I was training and was getting bulkier because my trainers had me doing high weight lower reps.

I had a trainer once for almost a year and I didn't really lose but toned up. The classes are good and the cycling kicks major butt!!! I also switch up my calorie in take. One day high and the next low.

The South Beach helped me keep it off and lose more. I also take a supplement that aids in weight loss. Now, if I could kick in the exercise!!!

Lower BMI Bandsters!
Thanks!!! I am premenstrual and almost don't want to weigh in on Friday, but I will. I have had more energy to do my stuff, but still don't feel motivated to exercise! I need to! My fill finally kicked in so I am eating less and feeling full. Dr. Ortiz is awesome! He charges $8500. I paid $500 with a credit card and the rest cash.

Hey Lisa! So, do you think we should not eat before we go to sleep? How long before? Sounds scarey!!!:faint:

How much did they put in your band? I have not pb'd. It sounds awful!!! I feel like my fill has kicked in more too. But I can eat most anything without probs.

January Bandsters???
Just checkin in! I have been doing pretty good. No pbing or sliming. I have been having coffee for breakfast and it keeps me full till lunchtime. Today for lunch I had a chicken sausage with spaghetti sauce and mushrooms over some cottage cheese. It was pretty tasty. I had a snack of about 20 almonds and 2 Laughing Cow cheese. Dinnertime I had 2 more Laughing Cow. I felt tight due to stress today. I am also premenstrual and have heard some get tight at that time. I had my 64 ounces water, 1 QuickSlim30, 1 Biotin and my liquid vitamins. No exercise today. I just can't seem to start up again!!! I have been really busy lately. My stepdaughter is getting married next weekend. Take care!!!
