I like to track some stuff but when it has to be done every single day and all the time I get tired of it and I stop, that is why I don't track my food. I get tired of it. So, I don't know if the BB would be a good thing for me or not?

I know what you are saying, D. I wonder if ZZ is like that and maybe she could be your "guinea pig"? She will see this and let us know. J is going be to mine...if it satisfies her "nerd-aciousness" it will surely satisfy mine! I track my weight and body fat percentage every day and log every bite I've put in my mouth since surgery and every move I've made....I'm a nerd, too. What can I say? I'm also a charter member to the Toy Of The Month Club , but waiting on this one to get more info.

I was a tracker...damn near every bight from January to September. But then I began to slip....and slip more.

I track my food about 2 days a week now. I kind of knew I'd lose steam around 9 months. I did that 6 years ago with WW. My reason for being banded is that I don't regress, that I stand still, when I need a break from being diligent.

Break time needs to end!

I'm hoping the BB will give me the reinvigorate me to be diligent again. I kind of got used to losing 10 pounds a month and want to get back to that! This only a pound a week business is for the birds.

For the record if you start talking medical stuff with BG or anyone for that matter my eyes will glaze over and my mind will wander. SOOOOOOOOOO not my thing. I've only learned the names of muscles so I can exercise them.

Hell, I couldn't even tell what surgies my DD has had. (Ear tube, adnoids, I don't think tonsils....) I leave that stuff for the Ex to handle.

We all have our strengths. It'd be boring if we were all the same!

I miss losing ten pounds a month, too! I was on a plateau for almost six weeks :faint: when I first started working out and biking so much, and it sucked! The plateau is over now, thank goodness. And as long as my bod fat % is dropping, I don't grind my teeth over it too much. It does bug me to not be losing faster, though. I want to weigh 145 RIGHT NOW, damn it!

My Stomach Is Killing Me From My Fill Yesterday...bruising Is Starting, And I Feel Like I Did About 50 Crunches.....

Hell I am just glad that I have not put on 10 pounds. I have been eating like shit. Bad enough to give nasty stomach pains and make me run to the toilet at least twice a day. chocolate like crazy, pizza, Bagels, bacon, bicuits, fast food, butter.

But yesterday was great. Only 950 calories. And that was with having a hot chocolate made with whole milk. And today is good too. I really want to see if this thing is going to work. So I am going to log my food and stick to it. I have about 900 calories planned for today also. I may increase that depending on what my deficit looks like tonight. Yesterdays deficit was about 1600 calories and that was assuming I did nothing before 3pm other than sit down and breathe.

I want to be below 200. I am tired of this shit. It is ending now and I am going to get to my goal by March 1st.

BG,

You can do it, you can! 50 pounds in 4 months is do able, a challenge but certainly attainable if you work your butt off!

Sounds like you will too!

J, hope you have a great time with old friends. Not too many drinks I hope. I think one would do it for me now. It has been a LONG time since I have had a drink.

BG, I know you are having way too much fun with the BB.

JC, what did I miss something???? Did you do something to your foot??

Guinea Pig?? Are you calling me a pig?!?!? Oink. Oink.

OK. I HATE tracking foods and stuff... I had to do it with WW and then I tried it on sites like fitday and stuff... hated it! But the BB is different, I guess cause you can also see the calories to BURN. Its FUN to pun in everything i eat and then upload my calories burned and see the deficit!! I LOVE watching my steps to see that I make at least my 10,000 each day. I LOVE seeing how many calories I burn during weird things like giving a patient a bed bath, or passing my medications. Lol. Its so fun! I now take the stairs at work at least 2 days a week - down and then up! (I work on the 8th floor of a hospital) I even have a few co-workers who are taking the stairs with me! Of course I'm still fat and out of shape so I have to stop twice to catch my breath!

ANyway... if the BB ever stops amazing me - or becomes a chore - I will let you know. All I know is that today it kept me from eating a Reeses PB cup cause I didn't know the calories for it and wouldn't h ave been able to log it in! Yay me! Yay BB!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
