I'm sorry BWesley but 1000 calories is not enough for everyone. If it works for you that's fine but to say to someone that they're eating too much is not logical. I would be starving if I had only 1000 calories. 100 carbs is a lot less than you think. I've tried sticking to the 20 carbs a day but found that I was so sluggish. I say listen to your nutritionist and keep working out. The weight WILL come off. You're probably just losing inches and that's why you're not seeing the numbers go down on the scale.

Lifting, It's ok if you slip up. You're a human being and all you can do when that happens is start fresh the next day. Don't beat yourself up about it We all do it honey

I'm self pay as well. I remember how good I looked and felt about myself when I lost all of the weight. I met my fiance 2 years ago so it was alot of going out to eat I guess love does make you fat.

Paragirl, I'm glad I inspired you I have been a bad bandster in the 4 years I've had my lapband. I originally lost 80 lbs and have gained almost all back. It hit me the most when I went to Florida a few weeks ago and needed a seatbelt extension and I was like what am I doing to myself. I'm just now realizing after 4 years that it is indeed a lifestyle change. It will not work by itself. I'm going to continue to post every single day until I hit my goal. I'm so glad that it inspired you to do the same. Keep it up!

Eat the one that tastes better. If you have to eat 2 fiber one yogurts to get the protein then do it atleast it's only 50 calories each. The greek yogurt can be anywhere from 90-130 calories. The strawberry tastes better for sure.

Lifting chic. Yes I have tried the honey greek one and the strawberry. The only difference to me is that greek yogurt is a little more sour than regular yogurt but it doesn't bother me too bad. It has a lot of protein in it so I eat it:cool:
