skinny3 4 Posted February 9, 2012 good luck and feel better haven't been able to stay at the meetings but i did get weighed in you are definitely correct both are a tool how have you done with the band how much lost and for how long you go to the gym alot last nite myfitnesspal had a free zumba class on the computer very interesting I updated my ticker so it has my surgery date and how much I've lost on it. I have did great with the band it's just when I had kindeystones I get sick and throw up so I usually have to have it complete unfill till it passes. I have a 10 or 11cc band I have 3cc as of last month and very tight with that. I did go to the gym alot but haven't for three months since my surgery. My gym membership is up so I won't be getting another. It only cost 3 a day to go to zumba and love that and use my treadmill at home so thats enough for me. Well that is when I'm able to do it agian.LOL! When was you banded? How big is your band and how much do u have in yours? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soexcited 64 Posted February 9, 2012 OK I had a bigger food day today then I thought after adding my points! coffee & Skim Milk 1 point 30g shake 4 points Greek yogurt 3 points Spin class 60 min 6 activity points Went to Soup plantation for lunch, had a bowl of mushroom soup for 8 points and some chicken breast for 2 points another 30g shake 4 points dinner was 4 oz beef and 1/4 baked potato with 1/4 cup cottage cheese 6 points total so I am at 28 points and think I will have my fat free sugar free pudding for desert later for 6 points 34 total for the day minus my activity so 28 total.......isnt that how I do the activity points? Just minus it from my total? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skinny3 4 Posted February 9, 2012 Yep, thats how you do the activity points. I would love to try a spin class but in my little town they have none.boo! How long have u been banded? LOOKS LIKE YOUR DOING GREAT WITH IT. Last night I went to the grocery and got some itialin flat out. They only have 90 caloreis for 1 and its big. I put some shredded roast beef, turkey and ham, cheese with light miracle whip. I cut it in hal because its to big for one meal for me. It was so good and low in points too. I love the flat outs they taste much better than the other soft tortias. I can not eat even a bit o bread havn't been able to since my first fill of 1 cc so these are a life saver for me. I usually get the plain but the italian smelled so yummy. It was awsome you guys must try.LOL! I alos seen people talking about kellogs craker chips way back on this site. I finally got a box of the sour cream onion. They were great as well. You get 26 per serving and 3 points. I only had half a serving though with my wrap. They tasted like the baked chips but better. can't wait to taste the cheese ones today for lunch. I looked down the chip ile first but they are with the crakers but taste nothing like a cracker. For some reason I am starving today.Crossing my fingers that I stay out of the kitchen.LOL! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It will give you a better baseline. I am sure all that working out and water just made you retain! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Short and Chunky 230 Posted February 10, 2012 Lisa: First - the 75 pounds has been since 7/7/11 not Sept. But I have done good. I just left the Docotor and it is just under 80 pounds now - woo hoo !!! I try to eat low carb but I do have a very small red potato or a Tblsp of mashed potatoes. I will eat a half a slice of toast about once a week. I find that I need some of this in my diet and it helps balance me out. I eat 3-4 oza of Protein for Breakfast, lunch and dinner and generally a good size salad... Here is my day (so far) today: Breakfast - Hot Tea 2 slices of Turkey Bacon 1 scrambled egg (wet) Lunch: 3.5 ozs ground sirlon (left over from last night dinner) tsp of homemade gravy (made w/bullion) baggie with baby carrotts, celery sticks and two cherry tomatoes I will dip this in a tsp of Catalina Salad Dressing sugar free Jello (orange) Dinner: I am planning - 4 ozs chicken breast 1/4 cup green Beans 1/4 bakes potato with spray butter 2 cups tossed lettuce salad with cucumbers, tomatoes and celery with Olive oil and red wine vinegar dressing I know that is not enough points and I know it has more carbs than my doctor wants but I am loosing a good pace and I feel good. I will also walk about 3 miles today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Short and Chunky 230 Posted February 10, 2012 Lisa: Yes, I do go the meetings....I think weighing weekly - in front of someone - keeps my responsible and on track. I also like being with other people who are battling weight. I find that support system helpful for me. Melinda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
