My nutrionist said to have between 1200-1500 calories a day, but to never force feed myself. Listen to my body!

It was what we used to do in Weight Watchers to vary our points/calories everyday. For example, using calories, 1200, 1000, 1500, 1100, 800, 2000, 1300, The key is to shock the body by going high and low. It worked and helped with plateaus. Then they created the core plan.

YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: Maybe we can post our daily goals everyday and help each other reach them!!! I got all my goals in too!! 1.5 on the treadmill is awesome!!!!:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: Don't forget to weigh first thing in the morning!

You are doing a great job with the water. It is such an easy thing to overlook! I never knew since I have gone through times of not drinking much liquid but I guess being banded changes things. The port incision looks big at first then shrinks. After they were totally healed I started massaging ScarGuard into them!!

That is so awesome that you are learning about yourself and changing habits!! You will be successful! So, many of us don't learn, myself included. But, I have caught myself and reigned in! Good Job!!!!

I know what you mean. Everyday I have to just make myself get up and do something! Once I get going for about 2 weeks, I love the enegy I have and keep it up. I am 2 days into working out and already feel extra energy. It is good to keep yourself accountable to people on this board. I have people on 3 threads keeping me accountable and I can't lie!! So, it has helped me!

He did say be all things to all people, but that was to be a light to them. To be able to meet them where they are, not as "self righteous religous people" such as were the Pharesses. You are taking that scripture way out of context. Jesus also didn't go seeking out the Pharisees to have religious debates. He just answered them or was showing them their "ignorance". Serious discussion about the gospel is best kept with other believers. If you bring these type of questions to people that don't even have the basics down, it is just a bad testimony because they don't understand where you are coming from or what your true motives are. We are not to toss pearls... We are to use our "walk" and if people see us as arguementative it gives a bad name to what Christ was trying to teach, love. I see no love in this thread from the believer which is supposed to be you. This is not the place for this. I think you are doing a diservice to our call. I think you have good intentions, but then you know what they say about good intentions. I don't want to get drawn into this thread of going back and forth. The question you have to ask yourself, is "am I helping or hindering". I don't see any helping, just hindering. I don't mean to attack you in any way, as I said, I think your intentions are pure, but I seriously do not think Jesus went around provoking people by being argumentative to argumentative people.

Wow, since did our faith in God turn into such a conversation? The whole point of having faith is to please God not to provoke people. We are not being a testimony to people who do not believe in God by turning it into a debate. It is supposed to be by a soft answer, that turns away wrath. Things just get out of hand. That is just my humble opinion.

DON'T FORGET WE WEIGH IN TOMORROW!!!! :faint:

How many carbs does it have. Does it have sugar? If it is sugar free, it is okay. The purpose of sugar free is the detoxing our body is doing from sugar and white flour products. If you have sugar, you are not letting your body detox and your appetite won't go away. One thing I love about being on the Beach, is after day 4, your appetite is greatly reduced even with out appetite suppresants and that is what we all want. By the 2 weeks, you don't even crave the bad stuff anymore.

It is rainy and cold here in sunny Cali!!! I am glad we can encourage each other!!!

I DID IT!!! I did 1 hour on my elyptical trainer!! I am giving myself an option of something I have to do everyday, I just have to choose. 1. elyptical machine at home 2. dance video workout 3. walk around the block 4. gym I also tell myself I will do it for 15 minutes, but like the way I feel and the music, so I do longer! How are we all doing???

I did 1 hour on my elyptical machine!!! That makes 2 times this week!!! One day at a time. I am also going to give myself a choice of what activity I am going to do everyday: 1. walk around the block 2. Elyptical at home 3. Gym 4. Dance video workout I tell myself I am just getting on for 15 minutes, but end up staying on!

What about a 0 carb protein shake? Nectar protein is 0 carbs and 23 grams of protein. Try drinking a glass of water first.

Just take one day at a time! Try changing one thing a week. Make it goal for yourself. My nutrionist, Dr. Miranda said 1200-1500 max a day. We should be keeping it at 1200 for weight loss. Or else we just won't lose. Protein first is supposed to curb our appetites. And two protein Snacks. Or a Protein shakes to curb appetite? I looked at my nectar protein shakes that are soooo yummy and they are 0 carbs!!!!!!! I bought samples of every flavor on bariatriceating.com Fuzzy navel tastes like Tang. strawberry Kiwi tastes good. Smells proteiny but doesn't taste bad. 1 cup is 90 calories, 0 carbs and 23 grams of carbs.

Last time I was on South Beach I also had Protein Shakes. I just had to find a good low carb one! I will start looking and also check to see if the ones I am using right now are low carb! We can compare to see who finds the best low carb Protein shake!!!

Yup!!!! Isn't life good on the Beach!!:clap2:

Awesome!!! I will be your daily support! We can support each other! I also did the South Beach diet before and never felt hungry and had my sugar and carb craving under control. I too want to come here and have the same goals as you. I thank God also for bringing me to a place where I won't be in bondgage to food. I am glad to have you!!! This is what I have done today: Morning: Gano Ginseng coffee with 1 cup of plain soy milk Breakfast: 2 scrambled eggs with mushrooms and hot sauce Lunch: 10 almonds and 2 Laughing cow Dinner: I am going to have cod fish and steamed brocolli Supplements: liquid Glacial Milk liquid vitamins and extra B's, 1 QuickSlim30 Liquids: 24 ounces of crystal light (goal is 72 ounces at least) Exercise: 1 hour of elyptical!!!!:clap2: I am feeling good and will weigh in tomorrow. Tip: When I used to stay up late and was hungry on South Beach, I'd make myself a plate of cheese, cold cuts and Laughing Cow Cheese and Jello.

My goal today is to get some type of exercise in. How bout you?

I am doing good today! I am noticing that I can get more mushies in when I eat them, like eggs than the solids, which I can eat less of. But, I like eggs for breakfast. I got about 1300 calories in yesterday because my hubby took me out to eat for breakfast a cheese omlette, with bell pepper,onion, mushrooms and a sprinkling of sausage. I ate about 3/4 of a 3 egg omlette. Today I had my Gano ginseng coffee with plain soy milk at breakfast time. I am having 2 eggs with mushrooms as a snack. My goals today is to exercise. I didn't get to yesterday. How is everyone doing today? What are you goals?

Oh, I get it now! That was something I copied and pasted from Sandy, the nurse. I read the whole article but didn't check out the website she suggested at the bottom of her post, yet. Have you?? Were they good!

That is weird!! I didn't know it was there!
