[DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! 12,703]

I have been fat my whole life and always hated scales, but today, if I could've hugged my scale I would have.

As of today, I have officially lost 100 pounds since being banded 5 months ago.

I know I still have a long ways to go, but finally hitting that 100 pound loss mark has made me so happy!!!!

I seriously love my band. It is the BEST thing I've ever done for myself. It's changed my life!!!

Honestly, I have just done what my nutrionist advised. Nothing special.

I eat between 1000-1200 calories a day, at least 60g of Protein, no more than 125g of carbs, and no more than 20% fat.

I don't eat white rice, bread, or Pasta. Only brown rice and whole grain breads and Pasta. I try not to eat after dinner, however being a night owl I end up hungry around 10pm most nights. If I do have a small snack then, it's never any carbs. I've found I simply can't have carbs after dinner and lose weight.

I use an app called "Lose It" to track both calories and nutrients- it's my bible and it holds me accountable.

That's it, nothing special really

As for carbs, I eat whole grain breads and Pasta. Baked potatoes, or homemade mashed made with skim milk. I know some people do better on low carb, but as long as I stay away from the "white" carbs, I do fine. I'm just careful to eat my Protein first and make the carbs secondary.

As for exercise, I do very little and what I do is mostly trying to increase my daily activity. I have Multiple Sclerosis, so "real" exercise like at the gym is next to impossible for me. I do try to walk as much as I can, though.
