How do u stay focused? Diet, exercise, Protein intake?

I am coming up on 1 year. It was more hard in the first few weeks /months than it is now.

New habits are formed. New eating techniques, food choices, going to the gym, etc.

Practice makes perfect!

It becomes a normal day to day way of life. I am being totally honest when I say there are days I don't even think about the band.

Weight loss has slowed, but I am within 10 lbs of my goal. As long as I am not gaining and still moving in the same direction.

You know, it really is one day at a time, one meal at a time. Don't focus on the long term. Yes, this is a journey, not a sprint, but take your eye off that for the moment.

If your habits aren't in place, pick one to work on. You don't have to be "The Perfect Bandster" for the rest of your life. You need to get it mostly right most of the time.

You really do need to find what works for you. How can you fit the bandster rules into your life? I hate exercise...so I am just more active. I do things on the weekend to incorporate activity.

I hate tracking and weighing and measuring food. I don't do it. I do focus my meals on Protein and eat that first. But beyond that, I don't track my food. I haven't had a need to. If I find a need, then I will do it.

I knew going into banded life that things would change, but I also knew basic things about me would not. Such as hating exercise and not wanting to log food.

You CAN do it!

All the above:

Work out 5-6 days a week (sometime 4) just keep moving

Portion control

Proteins first
