Looking Good

Good morning lapband community. I am feeling good today. I took another bloggers advice and beef up my workout and I'm seeing results with the last few days. Thank all of you who post on here. It definately keeps me inspired and makes me feel like I'm not alone.   But I will tell you ,sometimes I am afraid and scared because I'm not use to the type of attention I get. WOW I'm a size 12 and imagine when I get a size 8, I may have to put a bag on my head, LOL. Well I'm pretty sure you all know what I'm talking about. It's just not losing weight, it's also being more tone and curvy because we are working out we can't afford to not workout because it wll droop on us. So it's like DARN IF YOU AND DARN IF YOU DON'T. Trust and believe I'm not complaining, It's just that I'm not use to it. Sometimes in my brain I am still a size 22/24. Maybe I need to see a shrink, I don't know. Any advice.

Short tem goal

Well I have set another short term goal....To get confortably in my size 16 jeans at then end of this month (September)..I can pull them up but I can't close them....Bally Fitness sent me a 7 day free pass to workout..(Of course they want me to join...) But if there's one thing I've learned is that most of the poplular fitness centers are offering free pass.. Curves also sent me one...If your in the Philadelphia, PA area look into it...AS WE SAY, "GET IN WERE YOU FIT IN"! GOOD LUCK EVERYONE.....

Water weight

Thank goodness most of that weight was water weight. Back down to 182. Slowly getting there. Even though I had cake and icre-cream and whaterever else on my b-day, what I fogot to say I had it in moderation. For example I had a thick slice of strawberry short-cake but my kids ate half of it. I also had icre-cream, low sugar ice cream (5 gram of sugar, 90 cal per 1/2 cup). So in other words, I didn't splurges lke I used to do. Also if you are maintaining water, you want to ask your primary doc for a water prescript or riteaid sells them over the counter. I find that I can drink 32 ozs of fluids (the band doesn't allow me to drink the full gal along with eating) and at the end of the day may 1/2 cup comes out. My weight loss surgeon said sometimes women maintain a whole lot more fluid.

Loving Life More Now

Did my 30 minutes of aerobics and floor excercise...My knees was screaming "GET OFF OF Me" but as Denis Austin says " You Got To Burn Butter". That is what kept me motivated.... Hoping to loose 10 lbs at the end of the month.....I'll tell you how I did....:eek:

Life Changes

You know it is terrible when the person your with HATES on you and I mean HATES on you. They know how hard you worked to loose the weght but in-directly try to do things to discourage you. I SAY THIS TO THE LAPBAND COMMUNITY: DON'T LET NOTHING OR NO-ONE HOLD YOU BACK FROM YOUR OWN PERSONAL ACHIEVEMENTS. We know how we felt before we got the surgery. I am down from 250 to 175 and still going strong. MY GREATEST ADVICE IS LOVE YOU, EVERYDAY TRY TO DO KNEW THINGS, LEARN ABOUT YOUSELF.   I also start watching the cooking channels. My favorite is "NOT MY MOMMA COOKING" Bobby is so fine!   Somestimes we can be so TESTED. As I always say "I DIDN;T GET CUT FOR NOTHING".   Love yourself please because no one will treat you and love you as good as you treat youself.

On Your March....Get Set.....Ready.....GO!!!!! !

Okay,   For all my challengers that is going to meet our goal weight next year. Here is what I've started with: 1000 to 1200 calories per day..( I try to stay as close to the 1000 calorie mark). Drink 8 ozs of fluid every other hour, because sometimes you can still be full from your health meal and cannot eat the next hour....Special note: (if you have to drink more than suggested....try eating crush ice....so you won't be drinking to much fluid. Because again to much fluid builds weight gain....(These are some tips I do for myself).   Protein (any healthy protein that is low in fat and high in protein) I bought 30 cans of tuna in water. (I do love tuna). I east 1 can per day. Vegetables...Try to stay focus on green vegetables for many reason.....If your going to eat starches or carboyhdrates....East as much whole wheat....Such as rice, noodles.. crackers...(I find that whole wheat crackers have to much salt. So I eat the no salt regular. Not to much bread...Even though you can find whole wheat bread...But it is still dough which makes you blow-up in weight....I eat maybe and I mean maybe 3 slices of bread a month.....Snacks... sugar free's as much as possible. To much sugar and to much fluids can have you gaining also..... Keep a workout regiment. Upgrade whatever you were working out with. Do a little more advance. Target exactly on what body part you are trying to cut down and build muscle. Remember this slogan every time you eat something and workout (PROTEIN BUILDS MUSCLE AND MUSCLE BURNS FAT) Now let's do it.. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE. I'M GONNA NEED IT....:scared2::thumbup:
