FLORIDAYS 3,040 Posted September 14, 2012 What is the # 1 secret There are several reasons people succeed... For me I think the biggest one is that I followed my drs orders. He told me what to eat, when to eat and how to eat . I listened and never tried to take the shortcuts. It not only worked but I haven't had any trouble with my band. 1 dee257 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cbreeden28 23 Posted September 14, 2012 I just recently joined the 100 pounds lost group and it feels amazing. I have also stumbled through some plateau's. Weeks would go by where I wouldn't lose anything and then I would gain a pound or two. Then the next week, I would lose like 4 pounds. For example, last week, I weighed 222. Over the weekend, I had high sodium days and when I went in for my checkup on Tuesday, I was 225. That was only 1 pound less than I was a month ago. My PA gave me a slight fill and today (4 days later mind you), I'm 220. Weight fluctuates so much. I try and only weigh once a week for this reason, but it can still be deceptive. This fill seems to be working really well. I'm getting satisfied on about 3/4 cup of food and don't feel the need to snack between meals. I started this journey in April 2011 weighing 326 wearing a 26 pants. Today, I weight 220 and wearing a 18. I can't wait to get to goal. I hope to get in a size 8/10. I have NEVER been that small. 1 Anume 937 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daisychains7 427 Posted November 5, 2012 You can add me to that list. I have lost over 100lbs since I began my journey. I am about 25 from goal. For me, the key is exercise. There is no substitute for the hours you put in at the gym. But whatever works for you individually -- it is about making small consistent efforts every day and doing the best you can whatever your circumstances. I never thought I'd be shopping for size 12 pants or a size M shirt! But the greatest reward I've experienced since losing the weight is the new found sense of freedom (no longer the constant worry of "how will I look?" "will I fit?" "can I do that?") and confidence I have in myself. 2 Anume 937 and A New New Dawn reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
