PhotoNut 7 Posted May 26, 2006 Hiyas MLJ, welcome to LBT! Congrats on your excellent weight loss and kicking the Diabetes and Reflux out of your life! As for the hump.. If it were me, I'd go back to square one of the journey and start fresh. Take a serious look at what you're eating now by journaling your food intake, paying attention to calories and Proteins. If you're not exercising, start. If you already do exercise, try changing your routine. Sometimes our bodies become so accustom to the same old thing, that it needs to be shaken up a bit. Add in some extra cardio, swim, ride a bike. It's summertime and you've got to be feeling more like living now! Also, if you aren't drinking Water now's a good time to start. Check out this article, I think you'll find it very helpful. Pay close attention to how they determine how much water you should be drinking. http://www.inch-aweigh.com/water.html Nice to meet ya. I look forward to celebrating your goal weight when you hit it. Won't be long now will it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hopefull 0 Posted May 27, 2006 I'm at 99lb!!!!! gone...gone for good. Maybe by Monday I will be a new member of the 100 lbs gone. Lots of walking this weekend planned. We are going to Boston for the Weekend...Red Sox game, Duck boats, a nite out dancing.....Perhaps that will jog a good weight loss. Have a great Memorial Day Weekend all!!

Happy2 0 Posted May 29, 2006 All of you are so inspiring to those of us just starting the lapband journey. I was banded Feb. 28 and had my second fill Friday, May 26. I've lost 32 pounds to date. I want to learn how to make a page like you all do. Where do I go to learn how to make a website with my name, loss chart, etc.? Is it easy to do?

sunsett 2 Posted May 29, 2006 Everyone is doing so great how exciting and encouraging for all of us!! I'm not sure what I'm at now, but I think I'm about 70 down. I'd like 40 more and then see what happens. It sure is exciting! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*susan* 1,709 Posted May 29, 2006 It is so inspiring to read these posts from those of you that have lost close to or over 100 pounds. I am only just beginning my journey, but someday, I too will come to this thread and say I lost over 100. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dcprincess 0 Posted May 29, 2006 You have done a wonderful job!! don't concentrate in the 50 lbs you have left be proud of what you have aready accomplised. I know it sounds easier said than done but you will reach your goal. Are you exercising, drinking Water, resting, and following the rules of the Lap Band diet? bread, white sugar, Pasta, potatoes and rice are a No No according to my Dr (Felix Spiegel) and it worked for 1 year. When I started to "try" the foods that my friends and other patients talked about (while I was in the Drs office) I began to stop losing and feel bad. I have been boucing back and forth for 2 months at the same weight and its all me.!! I AM NOT DOING WHAT I KNOW WILL WORK.!!! Try a different exercise routine (if you are exercising) and walk as much as possible and remember *what got you to the 100lb loss it still works today* take a day at a time and watch those lbs melt away.
