I have been fat my whole life and always hated scales, but today, if I could've hugged my scale I would have.

As of today, I have officially lost 100 pounds since being banded 5 months ago.

I know I still have a long ways to go, but finally hitting that 100 pound loss mark has made me so happy!!!!

I seriously love my band. It is the BEST thing I've ever done for myself. It's changed my life!!!

Honestly, I have just done what my nutrionist advised. Nothing special.

I eat between 1000-1200 calories a day, at least 60g of Protein, no more than 125g of carbs, and no more than 20% fat.

I don't eat white rice, bread, or Pasta. Only brown rice and whole grain breads and pasta. I try not to eat after dinner, however being a night owl I end up hungry around 10pm most nights. If I do have a small snack then, it's never any carbs. I've found I simply can't have carbs after dinner and lose weight.

I use an app called "Lose It" to track both calories and nutrients- it's my bible and it holds me accountable.

That's it, nothing special really

Omygoodness.....Thats awsome !!! Congrats

what type of carbs do you eat miss?

Hi 1st off congrats that is Awesome!!! Did you workout at all?

Congrats!!! Just banded 2 days ago and now you are my inspiration!!!! Thank you!!!

Absolutely A-mazing!

Nice work!

As for carbs, I eat whole grain breads and Pasta. Baked potatoes, or homemade mashed made with skim milk. I know some people do better on low carb, but as long as I stay away from the "white" carbs, I do fine. I'm just careful to eat my Protein first and make the carbs secondary.

As for exercise, I do very little and what I do is mostly trying to increase my daily activity. I have Multiple Sclerosis, so "real" exercise like at the gym is next to impossible for me. I do try to walk as much as I can, though.

Great job:-)
