I had a trainer once for almost a year and I didn't really lose but toned up. The classes are good and the cycling kicks major butt!!! I also switch up my calorie in take. One day high and the next low.

You will probably weigh in and all of a sudden like 4 pound will have fallen off!!! I still need to start working out!!! What is wrong with me!!!

You are doing great!!!! The weight is gonna just fall right off the way you are going!!!!:clap2: :clap2:

The South Beach helped me keep it off and lose more. I also take a supplement that aids in weight loss. Now, if I could kick in the exercise!!!

Thanks!!! I am premenstrual and almost don't want to weigh in on Friday, but I will. I have had more energy to do my stuff, but still don't feel motivated to exercise! I need to! My fill finally kicked in so I am eating less and feeling full. Dr. Ortiz is awesome! He charges $8500. I paid $500 with a credit card and the rest cash.

Hey Lisa! So, do you think we should not eat before we go to sleep? How long before? Sounds scarey!!!:faint:

How much did they put in your band? I have not pb'd. It sounds awful!!! I feel like my fill has kicked in more too. But I can eat most anything without probs.

That is awesome!!! I was also banded in Mexico but by Dr. Ortiz. Welcome!!!

Just checkin in! I have been doing pretty good. No pbing or sliming. I have been having coffee for breakfast and it keeps me full till lunchtime. Today for lunch I had a chicken sausage with spaghetti sauce and mushrooms over some cottage cheese. It was pretty tasty. I had a snack of about 20 almonds and 2 Laughing Cow cheese. Dinnertime I had 2 more Laughing Cow. I felt tight due to stress today. I am also premenstrual and have heard some get tight at that time. I had my 64 ounces water, 1 QuickSlim30, 1 Biotin and my liquid vitamins. No exercise today. I just can't seem to start up again!!! I have been really busy lately. My stepdaughter is getting married next weekend. Take care!!!

I need o get back to the gym too! I am sure it would help! Great job!

South Beach is a lower fat protein program, but you can have something higher in fat if in a crunch.

Just checkin in!!! I am doing good. I have been having coffee for breakfast and a protein for lunch and dinner. I do get full on less and stay full. I just feel a gentle pressure inmy stomach when full but no pain or pb. I will weigh in on Friday. How are you all?

My mom just gave me one and I just wondered if it was any good. Did it help you lose and tone? How is it best used? I had read it made your fore arms sore and didn't give a good workout, but it seems like it would. Thanks for your replies!!!

Did you find it worked your abs and lower body?

No problem! I took it to help with hunger and energy. I have lost pretty well for a lower bmi, but I think they really help me.

That sounds like a really good explanation. Thanks!:clap2:

I would recomment seeing an herbalist or alternative medicine specialist. I have a chinese herbalist I see and they seem to have herbs to take care of everything. Hope you get better.

Yeah, that is what it is! What do you think about it?

I just couldn't resist responding to this thread. Why can't we just leave people and their beliefs alone. I personally just ignore fanatics believers or not. It is annoying from both sides. I come here for support for the band not to try to convert people to my beliefs. Why can't we just relate to each others as fellow human beings who got banded? In the words of Rodney King "Can't we all just get along?" I personally accept and don't judge anyone. I don't lump all unbelievers into a category and assume they are all the same. As I expect not to be categorized either. I am an individual. I am a Christian who loves all people. I have people in my family that I love that are gay, atheist, into witchcraft, etc. I can love them even if I don't neccesarily believe like they do. :faint: Not all Christians are fanatics trying to push their beliefs down peoples throats.

Thanks for the replies! I am feeling more restriction and couldn't eat today due to stress. I felt like my stomach was being squeezed! It felt so weird but I notice it happens each time I stress out. Like a cramp. I am definitely eating less, feeling fuller faster and staying full. I LOVE IT!

I think I did it to taste, sometimes I wanted it sweeter and would use like 1/4 a cup or so. It is super satisfying and is like a flan type cheesecake. YUMMY

I went to a chinese herbalist and he gave me a shampoo with aloe vera and garlic. It does not smell bad and I am not losing hair. I used to lose normally everytime I washed my hair and now am not. I also take very good liquid vitamins and Biotin.

I am taking QuickSlim30 and love it!

I didn't exercise on Friday or the weekend. I need to start up again on Monday. My mom just gave me a new piece of exercise equiptment and I am looking forward to using it! I don't know what it is called, but you sit on it like a bike and pull on this bar. Your pelvis pushes forward. It is supposed to work out your lower body real good. Anyone know what it is called or have one? Do you like it?

Hi!! You are from the December thread! I was supposed to be banded in December and started up with you guys! But I ended up being banded in January. I am doing really well on the Beach especially for a Lower BMI or so I am told. It helps with my cravings too! If I do get a sweet tooth, I eat sugar free Fudgesicles. Hits the spot! I just also got my first fill and restriction is finally kicking in 1 1/2 weeks later. I think 2 pounds a week even on South Beach is more doable, but you probably will lose more in the first 2 weeks. Glad to have you! I also find daily support helps or else I fall off the Beach. I need you guys!
