Greek yogurt is good, but may be to much sugar right now, sorry, stay with plain yogurt. you are trying to trick your body cause its stuck, so you need to fool it with virtually no sugar, so it can start to burn fat. Dont add more sugar if you dont have too. When I got stuck I would increase my green leafy veggies and protien, I stayed away from sugar, even sweet n low and equal etc. Do it for two weeks I promise your bidy will start burning again

yeah google fat burning foods, grains are awesome! add more protien cut out all breads and rice for now, good luck

so r you!

I have lost 105 lbs!

its dosent show at all! I do have a scar cause I had a hernia removed, but I dont care! These are my scares! I earned them, they are a reminder of what I never want to be again! I ask my husband if they wre ugly and he said they are beautiful, because they are part of me.. So I am good with them! lol it shows a lil bit when I am laying flat, but only I notice no one else has, and I live in Sunny SO CaL! I am at the beach evry weekend now!

Good for you! keep up that cardio!

i was banded in Orange County Ca, by Dr. Oliak! he is the best in SO CAL! with the best results! I was asked to be on a Bill bord! lol! no thanks!

Thank you so much! I feel amazing! The truth is I have been an athlete my whole life, and in 2008 I had a horriable accident that left me depressed and in pain all the time, I gained 100 plus pounds from 2008-2009 from depression and sterioids, and just not caring anymore. I was always in pain, the doctors said I had to lose weight in order to get my back strong again. I didnt know how i would do that since I couldnt even find the strength to walk!! I was banded Sept 2009 and ever since that date, my REBIRTH! I have been living a healthy happy life, I was very strict with my food my first year! I did everything by the book, the second year it was just natural to eat small amounts. I am fortunate that because I have an athletic background, along with the weight loss I also kept my sense of enthusiam for the gym!! So yes my second year after my back surgery, i kicked it into high gear! I am at the gym 5 days a week. I was able to maintain muscle while losing a tremendous amout of weight! That is the key to lose skin. If you dont work on the muscle while you are losing weight, you will get FLABBY! The band is a tool, not the answer! Work your band, dont let it work you! DO NOT rely on the band for your weightloss, if you do! I guarantee you will gain it back! I am going on 4 years being banded and I have very little rescriction, I only have 3 cc's in my 10 cc band! You can do it! you just have to learn new healthy habits!

good! i mean! lol !
