So I haven't really gotten off track.. I've been following my food guidelines pretty close. I did try a Christmas cookie.. bite only here and there but nothing crazy.. I did find that sweet food doesn't have the same effect on me that it did before but I have to get back on track with my exercise.. right before the holidays I stopped because I was working 12 hr days have 2 kids and I work second shift.. my weight loss has slowed considerably. I'm down 1 lb since Xmas.. I'm 3 months out with a total of 64 lbs down.. I started my work outs again today.. its a new year!! And went back to tracking.. has this happened to anyone else?

I'm only 4 days post op from my revision, but I remember this happening with my band. I don't know if this is an option for you, but I saw some posts recently here from people who got a FitBit, and I ordered one. It seems like it would be motivating to have something that tracks all your movement and then encourages you to do just a little more. I also checked out a couple similar ones on Amazon...whatever you like, but it seems like something that would help motivate me, maybe it would help you too? Just a thought! You are working hard...it sounds like you did pretty darn well through the holidays with all that you have going on, celebrate that!

did try a Christmas cookie.. bite only

confused

not sure what problem you are referring to??

sounds like you handled the holidays quite well

You ate a cookie?you ate everything else well ?

your exercising, recording your food

"only" (not supposed to use that word ) down 1 lb since christmas?

this is a time period that people unfortunately gain a lb or two, or stay the same. you managed to lose 1 lb!!!

OMG girlfriend - down 64 lbs in 3 months???

only "problem" i see is that your worrying too much

can i nicely say GET OFF YOUR BACK"

congrats on your success - i know you'll continue to flourish

You made me laugh!! Thank you!! I guess I felt like I shouldn't have had any sweets but I didn't do what I've fine in the past like take a plate and watch tv.. lol I tasted one of my kids Cookies that we made and felt guilty but you are right. I didn't even think if it that way. I am worrying too much. You're awesome!!
