Hello everyone my name is April I've got my band on 6/5/12 and so for I've lost 100 pounds :-)

I walk 4 miles a day and workout with a personal trainer. It's hard and I have to watch what I eat but I'm happy I made this life change. Somedays I don't feel like I'm doing a enough but thank God my hubby cheers me on. Right now I'm stuck and have not lost anything in the last two weeks but I can not give up and I will not give up

Congratulations April!!!

Yes, from what I hear at times after losing a lot of weight you will plateau! Now what you have to do is start playing around with your calories and fat grams. You can try 'uping' your calories one day, going back to your normal caloric intake and then try it again over to see if that works. How many fat grams are you getting in per day? Remember the body needs healthy fat to burn!

I try and get between 25-30 grams of healthy fat per day (according to my age and weight). Also, remember Protein is always first and important to burn fat as well. Have you tried tracking everything you eat daily?? if not you should do so, there are several wonderful apps out there such as "myfitnesspal" and 'Loseit (my personal fav). Its really the only way you will know how much you are eating on a daily basis so that you can adjust and tweak to make it work.

Best of luck,

great pictures. YOU look amazing.

Thanks guys !!! I do feel great. I don't count anything only thing I keep up with is protein I have 40-60 grams day.

I'll try to start keeping up with it thanks for the info

WOW!!!! Congratulations! !!

I've heard others talk about upping the calories for a day, back to normal & lower than normal for a day, then back to regular calories again. They say it jump starts that plateau.

Good luck, I know you'll continue to do well!

Awesome!!! Thanks for sharing. So encouraging too. ???Ž

April, wow you look incredible! Congratulations on your success so far. Iris so frustrating when the scale doesn't move. Have you taken your measurements? I take mine once a month and i have found that when the scale doesn't move the inches do. Keep doing what you are doing, you will get there.

Iris = it is. I love autocorrect.
