Hi Ninny

I was banded last year, I can tell you we all go through this at one point or another. 30 pounds in 5 months isn't terrible, let me tell you! It averages out to what, 6 pounds a month?? That is what your Dr tells you is about target if he is anything like mine.

The first thing you need to make sure is that you are getting enough protien, you can never ever loose without it. You have to eat enough (or drink) enough protien.

You HAVE TO exercise, you have to whether you want to or not. Your body needs it to keep loosing.

DO NOT drink with meals, it makes you hungrier faster.

Get junk food out of hte house, this is my big problem! IF it is there we eat it, so just let it go away!

Good luck!

BTW, I in Jackosn, MI! :girl_hug:

Wow Thanks For The Support--- I'm Starting With A Calorie And Protiene Count Tomorrow

Boo- It's Been 30lbs In 17 Mths Not 5 Months -- I Know What You Mean If Junk Is In The House I Go For It As Well- lunch At Work Is A Problem-- There Are Cookies Around And It Seems My Table Mates Are Always Eating Them---

Ladies how do i add the tickerfactory to my signature--- I copies the html file and tried sending it -- message was invalid file-- what am i doing wrong?

Gail

30 pounds in 17 months is still a loss. We can help you get back on track! You have to make a recommittment to yourself to make it happen.

Start with tracking your eating and drinking daily. Fitday.com is a free site where you can do that and track EVERYTHING, do not leave anything off because you are only cheating yourself!

Do you attend a support group at all? While LBT is great you need a local support system as well. They can help keep you on track and have someone to work out with as well.

As far as the ticker I uploaded mine to photobucket and copied it over that way, it is the only way I can get it to work!
