    To weigh or not to weigh?

    I weigh weekly and at most twice a week. The daily fluctuations drive me crazy when I feel like I worked hard and ate good and then I'm up.

    Fiber supplements???

    I chew two fiber gummies and put fiber powder in my coffee every morning to stay regular.

    Use Net calories?

    I eat them when I am hungry. I try not to eat ALL of them though. I'm happy if I end my day under my calorie goal with the added exercise cals.

    How do YOU define Success?

    I love this I was banded 9/4/12. I was 260 at my first drs appointment now I weigh 192. I have lost 7 inches in my waist and 35 inches over my whole body. I started in a size 20 pants, I now wear a 14, XXL shirt now L, 40G to a 36DDD. I workout 6 days a week and love it. I can feel more than just flab in my belly. There are muscles and hip bones under there!! My legs are looking lean and defined and my arms are getting those cool definition lines too. I can wrap a towel around me and tuck it in and it stays! I don't get winded going up stairs. I can cross my legs easily and comfortably. My belly doesn't touch the table at restaurants. I can shop in normal departments and stores and sometimes even in the juniors dept. I don't cringe when I look in the mirror anymore (even when I'm naked!) I did cartwheels and handstands (ugly ones) on the grass with my daughter the other day. My workout dedication inspires and surpasses my skinny friends Being banded is the best thing I've ever done!!!

    No longer obese!

    That's exciting! Congratulations
  10. I agree with all the posts above as well. BUT to answer your question: my surgeon told me that he believes 6-8 pounds a month to be GOOD weight loss. No different from any other diet plan 1.5-2 pounds a week is what to expect realistically IF you are doing everything right and even then you will have weeks that baffle you and you gain. The band is a great tool but you have to use it properly.

    Home vs Gym Workout

    I wake up and do Insanity in my living room at 4 AM. I have two small kids and work part time and so I have very little free time during the day. I decided against nap time workouts cause I was constantly being interrupted with potty breaks lol
