My 3 year bandiversary is February 28. I have been the same weight for MONTHS and I'm ready to get the weight loss going again! I started at 237 pounds, dropped down to 172, and then gained after a rough patch in life! Got up to 195. Currently (today) I'm at 191, and I want to lose 41 pounds. I'm doing a seven day restart starting today which consists of clear fluids only today, Soups and creamy stuff tomorrow, then mushies for 3 days (anything I could eat if I didn't have teeth). Then finally back to the regular meals with lean Protein, fruits/veggies, healthy grains, and at least 25g of Fiber. I wrote out the ten rules and posted them on my cabinet in the kitchen. Seven days from now when the restart is done, I commit to myself and all of you to go to the gym or exercise a minimum of 3 days per week...

WHO'S WITH ME?

@@My3Girls I'm in! I'm in every day!! Pretty much every day I have to remind myself to be on track and not let the stress of the day and life get to me and trust me it can!!! Boy oh Boy can it!!

Now I know getting this butt to the gym would help with weight and stress also but for some reason I just can't get there. By the end of the day I am totally and utterly exhausted!!

@@lisacaron, you gotta go anyways, or take a 30 minute walk. Something for your exercise! Your heart loves it and the fat that needs to leave hates it!!! Come on, Girl! You got this!!!

@@My3Girls you are so right about that. I do get some exercise in during the day, I walk all over my building and I take the stairs everywhere which is about 4-6 flights depending on where I am going and coming from. It's just not the "gym" kind which is kind of funny because my personal trainer sent me a text this morning to see if everything was OK since he hasn't seen me in 2 weeks!! I guess it's time to start getting back to the gym and stop using my stress as an excuse.

How are you doing today?

I finished off clear liquids yesterday. Moving into all fluids today. Isn't nearly as bad or difficult as it would have been without the band! Print ideas for mushy foods starting tomorrow! Feel good today!
