How to know when you have hit the GREEN ZONE?

Any tips out there to advise us to WHEN we have hit the green zone?
What are the real signs?


Not loosing 2#'s a week as of yet and have had several fills - now at a 7.1/4 out of a 10 band. (However went in time before alst and nusrse said I had a 14cc band-so I am really confused)

a persons zone is their own...hard to explain to someone..

Explaining the green zone is like trying to explain love. It's something you have to "feel" to understand.

CG,

There you go, over-thinking again. Yet another reason we're soul sisters! But I think you're just on the verge of knowing that the infamous Green Zone is, after all, a RANGE and not a single point, and you've been roaming that range for a while now ("Home, home on the range, where the deer and the antelope play, where never is heard a discouraging word, and the skies are not cloudy all day"). Your next assignment: giving yourself credit for recognizing that.

i cant tell you how often jeannie and me discussed this esp in regards to me..

how do i know about the green or (pink zone) as its called...i have no earthly idea..

like with all things, depending on whom you talk to, their wls, their journey progression,

a persons zone is their own...hard to explain to someone..

i know when i had enough to eat..and i know when to stop

and i just work the band/pliction as best i can by helping it by eating as clean as i can..

so maybe i am in the zone after all..

yes jeannie.......nothing like HOMEWORK

Well, don't try telling me the dog ate it.

I'm glad to see you describe it as a "range". I think a lot of folks think there is one magic number. Before I had my last fill, I sorta felt ok with where I was but I let doctor do a tad more. Since it's settled in, might could use a tiny fill more and maybe not. But, I'm going to stay right where I am. I can still eat, but I stay satisfied for 4+ hours. Don't really crave and am losing steadily.

well said Sandy :)

as long as one is losing (inches and weight) and living LIFE as it is meant be lived, why focus so much on a zone?????? what matters is living and eating healthy and exercising....i say this because it wasnt that long ago that i was hardly walking.....life is more than am i in a zone......lose weight/inches, stay positive....deal with positive people and for heaven sakes......own it
