At what weight did you start? What kinds of things did you do to get the weight off? Sharing ideas will help us newbies stay focused and on track to achieve the same goal. Thanks! My starting weight was 350. All I've done is follow the bandster rules. I don't drink when I eat or for 1.5-2 hours after. I take small bites, chew well, etc. I eat 3 meals per day and 1 snack, approximately 1000-1200 calories, with 70-80+ grams of Protein a day. My doctor is very aggressive with his fills, but I prefer to keep my fill level on the loose side so I can still eat a normal meal. I don't believe in keeping myself so restricted that I can only have liquids or eat just a few bites at a time. I also don't drink calories. Generally speaking, I only drink Water, with a minimum of 64 ozs a day. I exercise 30 minutes per day, most days. I just started exercising regularly in July and I wish I'd started sooner. I also try to avoid slider foods and I track calories and protein everyday. I allow myself occasional indulgences so when I want something, I just have a little and that has helped me avoid binges.

katiebug 6 Posted September 18, 2008 I finally reached 100lb about a week ago. For some reason, 100lb doesn't seem like as much as you'd think. Probably because I'm tall. Anyway, I'm happy. I think getting a TT would help though haha. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
