I am coming up on my one year surgiversary next month and have reached my weight goal. I still need more toning/muscles and am switching workout to resistance bands after witnessing a friends transformation in just two months of banding (thought he was taking steroids). Sooo Happy!!! My energy level is sky high! I am almost non-stop motion when I come home from work. I have changed my lifestyle now and pretty committed to low carbs, exercise, water and moving! Now for the real test, can I keep it off for the next 2-3 years by following a good maintenance regime...My new puppy will help with that!

Congrats on making your goal!!! Congrats on getting there by 1 year. The transformation is awesome. You've been through relearning how to eat and be healthy over the last year and you hit goal, you'll have no problem maintaining. This should be the easy part. Good luck to you brother!!!!

Side note- Please share your knowledge/experience with band workouts if you don't mind.

Amazing, and is that sushi hand rolled from the fish caught? ?

Yes I made the Sushi from the fish I caught. Usully I make it real fancy like restaurant style but wifey was hungry! I only ate 4 pieces of roll, have to watch the rice.

My wife is a Sushi fanatic and love it when I bring home fresh caught fish for Sushi. It was sooooo delicious this time out!

Thanks!

Here is more info on the resistance banding. I will be starting my band workouts tonight.

There are dozens of resistance band training videos on youtube to pick from. I was also advised to use this green powder for success. Best Wishes!

Great info, Thank You.

Thanks for the info - I'm now subscribed to the first video. I'm shopping for resistance bands now as well. I'm always leery about them breaking and hitting me in the face. I've seen some pretty nasty photos of people getting hurt by resistance bands. I'm looking for the ones that have the protective nylon covering to catch them if they break.
