Hey- I know I'm not the op but I was banded in 12/11 too. I have to say ever increasing intensity in exercise has been my best friend in losing more than 80lbs so far. I do both cardio and strength training. My cardio is 90% running and 10% things like the elliptical and cardio classes.

Thanks

I was banded 5/15/12 but I began the process in December of 2011. I started keeping a food diary (myfitnesspal.com) and walking. Since being banded I started jogging and walking further. I also like to keep it fun so I do Zumba, I play tennis and I do just about anything to keep moving. I've also cut back on bread and pastas. I usually don't put a starch on my plate so it's usually Protein and veggies for me. I'm always looking for ways to push myself. Some days are easier than others seeing as though I have two small children and they have me running all day.

So just get moving, anything, make it fun. Track your food so you can see what you're actually eating and how much of it. Get that Water and Protein in. Wishing you the very best

Thank you ladies for all your advice and help, I reasently just got to my green zone like 2 weeks ago, took me 8 months, still managed to loose 44 pouns so far, lost 4 extra pounds in the last 2 weeks, so I must be doing something good, defenetly I will keep my self more active, super hard for me since I work in a call center, phone customer service, sitting in my desk for over 9 hours daily with no fisical activity at all. Will need to start doing something soon. Thank you again, you guys are an inspiration to me...
