1st quesstion what are you eating??? Are you keeping a food diary or logging your food on fitday.com?? Are you exercising???

Calories in vs Calories out = weight loss.

I don't have much restriction - could eat a horse half the time - but i am makeing healthly food choices keeping my calories at 1000 - 1200 a day and exercise 5 times a week.

Ya gotta let us know what you are or aren't doing for us to help..

Hmmm, sounds a little like me, I am 6 weeks post op and have not lost a bunch. I talked to the nutritionist today, and we discovered that I was probably eating more than I thought. Good idea to keep that food diary. Keep up the exercising though, always a good idea. Keep us posted on your journey, how ever good. aloha.....

Yes Kaohinani - The secert to weight loss with the band is no diff than all the other diets out there and we really need to throw away the term diet - this is not somethng you are going to do for the short term - this is a whole lifestyle change for the rest of your live - you have to make healthy food choices and limit your portions - and introdcue excercise into your daily routine.

I keep a food diary - weigh & measure my food - count caloires and Protein - I am down 39 lbs as of 10/11 -How?? Most me for making healthy food choices exercising 5 days a week - I haven't found my sweet spot yet - but hopefully on the 24th i will

I have been doing the food journal and maintain a 1000 - 1200 calorie intake a day. Haven't really been exercising much. I have just "revamped" the food type I've been eating. I think I've been eating too many "liquid" type foods that slip thru easily. I am trying more solid foods. Hopefully that will help. I sure hope so.
