I really love my band...

How the hell are you guys doing this? Maybe I am eating the wrong things or consuming too much. I just got banded a month ago...I am sooo inspired!!!! I have been stuck at the same weight for the past 2.5 weeks

Do you belong to myfitnesspal.com if not you should join. It's free, and keeps track of all your calories, ptotein, exercise etc., and it's all in memory, so you can always go back and check out how you were doing say,,,, 4 months ago. You can view other peoples diary, and see what there doing and chat with folks, a lot of them are from here too.

I am Losingintime over there, look me up.....

Shirley I saw you mention fitnesspal to so many people. I had been journaling my eating in a notebook. this is so much easier!! thanks for such a great site.

I'd say it is the best thing I've done since surgery, I log everything - even the no no's. I think I am much more honest now!??

WOW!!! that is great... I was banded 7/11/11 shortly after you.. i have a 14cc band and have 8.25 cc's please help!!!!

I THINK I'VE GOTTEN OFF TRACK...

It's worth it ! Isn't it !

It has only been 7 months...lol. But I think the key is exercise. I exercise at least 2 hours a day. I love it...never thought I would say that. I am sick now and my body is all achy and I am trying to figure out how I can do it even though I know I can't. I did walk for 30 mins today, which is nothing compared to what I usually do. I usually do the Wii Fit for 40 mins before work...when I come home at least 1 hour 15 mins of cardio and then around 40 mins of resistance training (bands, weights, body ball, medicine ball). I do not use machines for my cardio...I love the Biggest Loser workout dvds. I have like 4 of them and I mix them up. I also keep my calories around 1100 for the day and if I go over, so be it. I do not deny myself any food that I might want because if I do, I will still want it and may eat more of it! Thank you everyone for your kind words...I still have 25 more pounds to go. It is funny because when I began this my goal was 175...now it is 160 and may become less the more I go! It is hard work, but I would not change my decision for anything. As for the fills, I am trying to avoid them until I need them. I do not think I need any yet, but when the time comes, I will have no problem getting one!

congrats !! whats your secret ? how did you loose 100 lbs in 8 months with no fills ?? please share !

This.

I also keep my calories around 1100 for the day and if I go over, so be it.

And this.

I typically keep my calories to somewhere between 1000 and 1300. In my 13 months, I have found don't sweat it if I go over. And 212 pounds later, I would say it has worked for me.

woohooooooooooo gives us hope, I mean real hope!!!!

now that is real exercise!!!

I just noticed we have lost the same amount of weight Ian, i was banded just 2 weeks after you were lol... gratz to all the losers here

Congratulations!!! Keep up the awesome work!!

Thanks everyone...and now I know exercise is key...havent been able to do it for the past two days because of being sick and I am watching the scale go upwards instead of downwards...but I am not going to stress about it because as soon as my body is healthy enough, I will be back at it. I have been walking, just not the intense exercise I am used to!

Yeah!!!
