Share ideas, What did you eat today ?

[nurse97 0]

Hi I have been losing really slow. 1/2 pound a week or so. I am wondering if anyone has advice on portions. I have a 9cc band and have 5.5 cc filled. Sometimes I can eat only a tiny bit, but other times can eat what I think is a really big portion. I am going to Water aerobics 3x week and playing tennis some. A little discouraged, that inches or weight are moving.

Hi nurse97:

I have found that when I hit a plateau I change things around a bit and I start losing again. For instance, I would increase exercise for a couple of days, switch foods that I'm eating, sometimes I even go back to liquids for a couple of days to switch things up. I think our bodies get used to eating and exercising at a certain level and it helps to shake things up a bit. I've seen other people say to eat more than usual for a few days. I've never tried that so I'm not sure if that's true or not.

Good luck.

Sue
