Turbo Fire is great, but personally for toning and losing I prefer Chalean Extreme.

I do P90X!!!

I haven't had a fillin way over a year... no major weight gain, but plateau city

My name is Desiree and I'm 3 years Post Op from the Lap Band Surgery. While the Lap Band was a positive thing for me, the weight loss is primarily due to exercise and careful dieting. I've been though a lot of diets and now knows what works for me! I host a Lap Band Fitness Support Group every month in Moreno Valley for the Riverside County and Orange County areas. You're more than welcome to come and share and listen in. We had fun at our March session! It's encouraging to meet and talk about our experiences and keeps us on track. Contact me for info and I hope to meet you soon! Thanks, Desi

Hi everyone! I'm starting Insanity on March 15th and I'm so EXCITED!!!! If you don't know much about Insanity or haven't seen the Beach Body infomercials, it's an intense 60 day cardio workout that has amazing results! I'll document my progress in this thread. Desi

I've always liked green tea, but I've re-newed my love for it lol and I feel like a maniac :cool: there's a green tea jasmine tea that my friend got me hooked on because it totally doesn't need any sweetener! IMAGINE that LOL.... I've been making gallons and keeping it ice ICE cold in the fridge LOL. What I really like is since I've been drinking it, I always make my Water quotia... Please tell me I'm not the only looney toon about green tea lol, anyone else?

I had the WORST case of reflux it was awful It was still bad after the band and totally only cleared up the last few weeks since i've been drinking Shakeology I would love to meet YOU! I have a support group meet up every month and the next one is April 3r in Moreno Valley. Interested?

I didn't have to take classes but I have friends who had to take a nutrition class

Hi You're very close! Yes my Banniversary was the 12th and the weightloss as been phenominal! The only ick factor I found was late night reflux, but i got that handled now. That and loose skin sux Feel free to contact me anytime... I haven't been able to meet up with Bandsters out this way and the support really helps. xo Desi

I live in Moreno Valley, but work in Temecula and would love to meet up with fellow bandsters.

I do and would love to get together with fellow bandsters in the IE

I was experiencing AWFUL YUCKY Wake me up out of a deep sleep reflux! It was the WORST as I would have to practically run to the bathroom with my hand under my mouth in case I let up Fluid from my pouch. This all changed last week when I started taking Shakeology! Knock up one more good thing about this drink!

I had another great night's sleep without having to be woken by the urge to vomit up slime! Yaay!:cursing:

I like Chalene Extreme!

Hip Hop Abs is So much fun :frown: It's like dancing in the club, but the results are lost inches and a strong core :frown:

Good LORD me too!!! I started drinking Bariwise's Tropical banana Protein and I mix it with a generic vanilla whey protein (total 30 grams of protein) I usually mix it with non fat milk, but today I mixed it with Almond Vanilla milk--YUMMY! Add a few ice cubes and a Tablespoon of peanut butter and OMG... it reminds me of Ben and Jerry's Chunky Monkey ice cream :sneaky:

And there are green teas that are without caffeine. My favorite is Jasmine Green Tea by Foo Joy!! It does NOT need sweetener and is delicious!!! I brew it up and keep it in the fridge and drink all day :smile2:

I love Hip Hop Abs! I started using it two years ago and 90 lbs later....not bad huh?

That was happening to me, until I started to keep drinking 100+ oz water and keep a min of 70 grams of protein a day and added exercising 6 days a week. Any gain I see is minimal and it's muscle wich burns fat, so win win :smile2: I do Hip Hop Abs so it's also almost not exercising and more like dancing

I decided to get two shots of b12 in my rear per week at a weightloss clinic:smile2:

Thanks :smile2: it absolutely takes dedication, but I wanna feel good when my clothes are off LOL I know TMI, but I know these next 60 days of Insanity are gonna take me there xo Desi

I'll definately keep you posted and I'll have pictures on my blog. From the Insanity Kit two main ingredients to sucess are Rest and Recovery Formula and Shakeology. Ive been taking Shakeology and it's awsome, I have energy as if I've had some starbux lol! xtra shots of espresso :smile2:

they're not totally bad, but it's only like a shot too:smile2: also try the soups, and entrees etc from Bariatric Choice... I use they're product, and I have a Shakeology shake every day... Remember your protein from other foods too like greek yogurt... lean meats and fish and my favorite is salmon yum!

Isn't it 12 lbs? I've lost 90 and 9 dress sizes, so maybe 10? I dunno sorry :smile2:

Ewwww Protien diarrhea is the worst! I was drinking Atkins shakes in the morning cos it's quick on the drive to work, but I always got several miles from my office and I was crampin up:eek: so I totally understand. But lately I've been having a chocolate Shakeology shake and no tummy problems! No tummy problems means a happy Desi! LOL! Plus I have such a boost of energy! Red Bull and Starbucks has nothing on Shakeology! LOL!
