Good or bad?

Carmen... Its crazy because I'm doing my pre-op tomorrow and my surgery is on the 23rd also... My Dr. wants me to start the Optifast on the 16th but I think Im going to start soon I want to start losing NOW!

I start my 3 weeks of Opti-fast on Monday. Just bought $300 worth. I hope it isn't that bad.

It will be closer to 90 pounds by the time I have surgery.

I basically just cut my portions by 1/4 to 1/3 and have been walking at least 150 minutes a week.

I am not a big sweets eater. I just over-ate a lot and sat on my ass even more.

I use a Bodybugg to count how many calories I am burning and log everything I eat to know how many calories I am consuming. This way I know what I can eat or how much I have to exercise to lose 3 pounds a week.

I am not working too hard and haven't gone to bed hungry yet.

* This is not the first time I have lost a ton of weight. The band is going to be my safety net. I am not getting banded to lose weight. I am doing it to keep it off.
