When I use a mobile device, I use an iPhone 4. I am seeing this behavior on my desktop computer running Windows 7 and IE 9.

I can't seem to get out of "mobile" mode. Help!

I was banded in Oct 2010 and I can say without hesitation that it was the right move for me. I have lost almost 110 lbs and feel amazing! I have had challenges with navigating the band and figuring out what works and what doesn't. Slider foods are the largest temptation with the band and if you choose those types of foods often your weight loss can stall. I try to eat meat often to give me that full feeling with little actual calorie intake. I do eat things like ice cream as well but in moderation. I am probably eating about 1200-1300 calories a day right now and it is working. I didn't exercise as much as I should until recently. Now I am trying to tone up the flab that remains. Good luck in your journey!

Always exciting to hear success stories!!! Let us know how the Zumba goes.

yup. tummy sleeping is the bomb!

This happens to me all the time. I attribute it to the absence of lots of fats from my diet. I eat mainly proteins, fruits and vegetables. I don't much in the way of carbs for the most part. I think that carbs and fatty foods are what causes this type of feeling.

My PCP recommends me to be 215 lbs. I am 6' tall which if you go by BMI chart weight means I am "overweight". However, there are other things to consider such as your build, etc. At 215 I still have a bit of a belly but my hips line up with my "love handles" which was never the case when I was larger. Another factor is age as someone else mentioned. The BMI chart is not really a "one size fits all".

One issue I am running into is that my back really hurts after I do a mere 30 minutes on the treadmill. I have been doing some resistance bands and crunches hoping it is just the fact that I need to build up the back muscles. But, it makes me not want to do the treadmill because I am in pain most all day long from it.
