Congrats on your 100+ lbs..

Tips/Suggestions

#1 how's your restriction??

Go back to the beginning

Do the 5 day pouch test (google it)

Keep a food Diary - Keep calories between 800-1200 and vary them daily (weigh & measure food to make sure of your portions)

Exercise 4-5 days a week - Cardio & Weights - you need to work w/some weights if you aren't already as the more muscles you have the more calories you burn just breathing :0) your resting metabolisam is higher if your body has more muscles..

Eat healthy foods that you like - if you are hungry eat some extra veggies.. Remember this isn't a diet but a lifestyle change

I know some pple who's bf is their most important meal - they have a big one - where as I eat lite for bf & lunch - as dinner is my main meal ..

You can do this - you got the 100+ off - so you can get the other 25 off - it might not come off as fast - but you can get them off..

Hugs Janet

Congrats Indigo! I am taking it looks like 3 years to complete my journey if I keep staying on track to lose a total of 200 lbs but I know with my little band friend I will get there. Can't wait until my 3rd bandiversary, the 2nd one slipped by in a flurry of crazy times at my job and I didn't really take time to Celebrate. Now I had another .4 cc fill this week and restriction is back and I now realize I needed something months ago. So, I keep on plugging away. It is a lifetime commitment!
