Just went to the Dr for a fill and am knocking on the door of 200's. I'm at 311..yay... I haven't seen that in about 20 years....How to I keep up my momentum during the holidays? I'm starting to snack more often...UGH!

Don't just knock...stop being so polite and "Break the door down"

Sounds like you're doing great!! Don't let all the holiday temptations undo all your hard work. Something that's been helping me is eating it if I *really* want it (I actually stop and think before eating, and don't just mindlessly grab it), staying honest and recording the calories towards my daily allowance, and moving on! You've got this!! 200's here you come!!!!!

Ha, good one! I was just reading about fierceness in another post. Let's be fierce. Glad you got your fill -- goal is to wait the allotted time and note whether hunger has returned. Snacking will not give you the info you need. I am trying for 4-5 hours and since I am hungry again earlier than that I know I need another fill, not a snack. I figure I'm not starving as my body has plenty to snack on in the storage departments. Still figuring this thing out but so relieved to have my band. Roar your way into the 200s this holiday season -- you can do it!

I can't wait to be in your position! It's been 5 or 6 years since I've been in the 200s myself. Im current at 336 down from 369. I agree: break the damn door down! Don't knock!

THANKX GUYS FOR THE ENCOURAGMENT!!! IM KICKING IT DOWN!!!! :P

Knock that door down!! If you must enjoy a goody for the HoliDAY remember its just a DAY, enjoy it and the next DAY work it off!!
