Lap Bander Taking Charge

cypanther

Hi Everybody!

I just recently joined the fitness pal at the request of coworkers, but I’ve only just recently started to really use the website.

I started out on July 20, 2007 being banded, and I’m down to 167 from 250. My end goal is somewhere around 150.

I signed on today to read the forums, because I’m frustrated about not eating the right foods, especially missing the most important meal of the day, Breakfast. I have now just realized that taking control of my calories is a sure way to know exactly what’s being put into my body which reflects my weight loss goal.

I was banded almost four years ago, but have struggled to get into the shape and feel the best that I can be. Cliché right, but the truth. I hope that by using this site more, I can see what I’m lacking in my weight loss and exercise regime, and pick up and go from where I sit right now.

Feel free to give me advice, and friend me.
Anyway, nice to meet you all!!!! :happy:

Clair welcome to the most motivating site I know. I am waiting to have the sleeve surgury in the next two months. I started at 265 and have worked down to 230. I am glad to hear that the surguries though not the same help take off the bigest part of the weight and the rest is done with hard work. I know you will make your goal and we know this is not a diel but a life style change.
