March Bandsters!

[ready4changein2011 70]

Hey March bandsters!!!! Anyone that has lost 50 lbs or more over this past yr????

I would love to hear from you, and any tips/tricks that you can offer would be darling!

Do you strive to get in XX grams of Protein a day?

Do you stay away from carbs - bread, Pasta, rice, etc?

Do you drink XX oz of Water each day?

Any tips would be helpful, as I want my 2nd year to be more fruitful than my 1st!

1. Log everything you eat.

2. Exercise, always use variety because your body will adjust to same workout.

3. 64 oz liquids I use crystal light, Hawaiian punch, mio, anything sf. I hate straight Water so Dr. Said its ok.

4. I eat bread like thin Bagels and add low fat cream cheese.

5. If I have a snack its 100 Cal or less. Low carb and low fat.

6. I eat tuna and cranberries for lunch at least 3 days a week.

7. I aim for 72 gms Protein specified for my current weight.

8. Pasta and rice maybe once a month if at all.

Good luck. Hope this help I am one year out but still learning.

Haven't been on in forever! I wanted to see how everyone is doing since it's almost been 2 years now!

I started at 233. Size 18/20

I'm now 178. Size 14!

It has been a slow journey but I feel this time I will keep it off! And only 28 more lbs to reach my goal weight!

I am extremely happy with my band and how it was changed my life! I no longer worry about gaining weight!

Hi Loneil, congratulations on your success. It has been slow and steady for me also but u feel great. I started at 270 now 195 still would like to lose another 30+ I work on small goals so 10 at a time.

Continued success to you.

That's great to hear! I know it is slow but I feel it is the best way to keep it off! I know I'm not at my goal weight yet, but I feel great and I believe I look great! Such a relief just to not have to worry anymore! I am so happy for your success! We will continue to reach our goals I'm sure of it!
