Thanks ladies for the advice I am going to start watching my carbs I will have to hit the supermarket for lower carb Snacks also I did want to metion I do measure everything because I did in the beginning mis judge how much i ate

I hope this helps

oh quick question anyone tried pizza with the band

I stay away because of fat but a lady on here on some other thread said she can eat 3 slices I thought that seemed like a lot

[beversman 0]

Here is what i had yesterday.... i had about 47 carbs... little more than I usually do... but I ate part of a piece of pizza. so, that was a bit unusual for me.

I am not trying to be rude but I really cant follow your post honey- if you were asking a question I am not sure what it was, but if you are a size 4 ?? Are you at goal in less than 3 months!? What did you start out at and exactly what are you eating? Is english a second language for you? Good luck and congrats on your weight loss! Jill

Hey all,

Just a quick note to tell you all that I am still alive! I have been at the hospital with my mom. I think I told all of you she had the RenY. She is having MAJOR problems! She now not only has an infection, but a stricture as well! She is miserable.

Of course all of the stress is getting to me, and I haven't lost a damn pound since I got the unfill....ugh....be back soon to catch up! Miss you all!

:straight

[bkwalling 0]

claudia you are right we will get back on track together

I am using the no excuses method this morning I am leaving for the gym and it is two hours before my work day begins

so I am not using the excuse that i will be too tired to workout and work all day like I normally do on a workday

Brandy I hope your mom gets better good luck and you are right stress will keep the lbs on

[StephC 0]

BBK - so sorry to hear of your mom - yes we missed you. We'll pray for her.

BK - www.fitday.com its free and it even calculates your exercise. I love it - and shamefully haven't used it to its fullest for a few weeks now. I really need to get back to tracking.

gonnabeskinny - I'm sorry hon but I gotta agree with Jill - its very hard to decipher your posts - it looks as if you are typing too fast and not correcting your mistakes -

Claudia - are you married? You had said about an ex boyfriend but I don't remember a hubby. Just wondering about the transfer to Il., do you have family there or just a better paying job?

School was closed today - more SNOW! DD is going to get her braces off - finally! Shes' in heaven right now. good thing my truck has 4 wheel drive! Or she'd be a unhappy girl. I have bunco tonight - so I hope this soon stops so we don't have to cancel. I finally decided what to make - the taco ring - with croissants (the poppin fresh kind) - I made homemade salsa - to die for - and guilt free - talk to yens later!

BK -- I track my calories on www.fitday.com. and yes, it is free :-)

You can use the approximate calories that they already have on file or you can enter your own customer foods (by entering the nutrition label off of everything you eat). It saves them so you dont have to enter them ever again. You just select them and enter the amount that you consumed.

OMG ladies... Ive been so sick. :sick i almost went to the hospital yesterday. i got a horrible stomache virus that acutally made my abdominal muscles hurt it was so bad. It felt like someone had kicked me in my stomach... right on top of my port. I mean like it felt like someone had beaten me. It hurt to sit up straight. It hurt to breath deeply. It was a million times worse than my surgery. :girl_hug:

So, it really scared me. I thought that something was wrong with my band. It felt like I was gonna die. I couldnt even keep Water down. Honestly, I think having the band made it worse... because when i got sick it irritated my stomache where the band was making it even more uncomfortable than it would have been for the average person.

I had NO food yesterday. Finally got Water down... but no food.< /p>

I had a fever of 102 the last i checked (last night)... and it got worse before it broke though. It broke at about 10pm last night.

I was considerably better this morning... called in to work until Noon. Slept a little bit more and now I'm 100% better, but it sure gave me a heck of a scare. I thought I had an infection with my band or something. I got VERY paranoid.

Ive eaten a very very small amount today, but it is all staying down now... no nauesea... so it must have just been a bug. I'm so glad THAT is over.

[CLAUDIAGDLMEX 0]

:clap2: bk- we will do it . I just need to be not lazy to go to the gym or use my treamill that next to my bed lol

I ate better today I could actually fill the restriction :girl_hug:

Beversman - OMG!!! I'm so glad you're ok!!! I hadn't really thought about how "normal" illnesses we'll all get in the winter will be increased due to our bands.

Keep your chin up girl! :girl_hug:

B man Oh man sorry for your scare that is awful

I am glad your better

on fitday how do you enter if you eat like 2 chicken strips or a cup of Soup how do you know what they consider a serving a little confused

[beversman 0]

What you do is just look at the Nutrion Label on the back of a package.

It will tell you what a serving is. Soup is usually 1/2 cup to 1 cup. chicken fingers... 3-5 pieces. The nutrion label will always give you the serving size.

Lets say I eat Uncle Ben's Brown Rice.

So, I go to fitday... ADD a "custom food"

You name it and then enter the nutrional info.

In one serving (which on the box tells you is 1/4 precooked, 1/2 cooked)

You have the ability to change the amount of the serving... you can use TBSP, TSP, CUP, LITER

So, in this instance... you enter .5 CUP

Calories 170

Total Fat 1

Cholesterol 0

Sodium 0

Potassium 100

Carbohydrates 36

Fiber 2

Protein 4

Alcohol 0

Then you SAVE it.

Now, when you come back three days later, you could enter that you ate .5 CUP and those stats would pop up. (EX 170 calories)

If the next day, you only eat .25 cup(half as much).... half of those values pop up. (EX 85 calories)

It will calculate the changes for you once you enter it the first time.

So, if you enter the stats for 1 Ounce of meat... then you eat 4 ounces. You enter four ounces and it will automatically X 4 to get the total amount of calories, fat, carb, ect... that you ate.

TIP: If you don't have a nutritional label... they have many foods already listed in their database that you can search for and add. You can also find ALL Fastfood nutrional facts at http://www.howstuffworks.com/framed.htm?parent=question457.htm&url=http://www.calorieking.com/foods/

You can search by restraunt. Then enter the nutrional #'s into fitday to tally them up with everything else you've eaten.

B.man thanks for the info it has helped a lot It shows I have burned more than I have ate today is this normal

Oh and I can not help but notice you have a bmi of 32 now congrats on almost not being obese

[beversman 0]

oh yeah... it is WAY normal for us to be eating way less than we burn just sitting still. Normal people burn from 2000-2500+ depending on weight and age. That is just sitting still (resting)!

Just think about how many calories you USED to eat in a normal day.

I entered an "old" normal day in there one time. I was eating 3500 - 4000 calories a day...:girl_hug: NO PROBLEM!

Now it is 600-800... I feel like ive eaten a ton when I get to 1200.

Just goes to show... even with minimal exercise, we are gonna lose weight.

Just remember that when you feel like your eating alot. Think about how much you USED to be able to eat.

--------------------------

Thanks for noticing the BMI... what is considered Obese? I dont even know.

My goal is to get below 200 by the end of March :-)
