Frank 2 Posted December 27, 2005 I've been really bad for about a month. Cookies, Cakes, candy and I never eat sweets. I have gained about 10lbs. I am looking for a fresh start to following the rules. My wife never gained a pound through the holidays even lost a couple(I'm Happy for Her) She is at a new low of 179lbs down from 314lbs. But I really need a fresh start. I have always watched carbs, but it is so hard with the band. Most meat just don't go down. Please give me some advice On getting a fresh start.

Jachut 487 Posted December 27, 2005 Would following a program (like Weight Watchers) for a while help get you back on track? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NJChick 3 Posted December 27, 2005 Oh Frank, I'm sorry for the weight gain. Its so hard to get back on track from the holidays isn't it. I'm having the same problem. This is what I'm going to do: First get rid of all the junk in my house. Second make a plan. Plan what your going to eat for the week on Sundays. Planning does help you stay on track and not wonder what your going to have for the next meal. Third, Water, track your Water and make sure you get enuf. Forth and final.... Exercise (this is hard for me b/c I hate it) Even though I don't like to admit it, exercise is the key. Weather it be a walk or a run, what ever floats your boat.... just do it. Ask your wife to really get involved. It helps when an extra set of eyes are watching and can help us see things we don't. Good luck Frank, you've done amazing work so far and your wife gets a big BRAVO from me as well. HUGS !!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
