  • Not a lap bander but ready to support
  • I've gone through surgery. The month before surgery they asked me to get on a liquid diet. I could not do it. I did the liquid diet the whole day and had dinner as i would normally do. I still lost 30 lbs. The point is make a plan, try to stick to the plan, and don't try to be perfect. If there's a mistake, so be it, but…

  • What a great story! Thanks for sharing
  • What does everyone think of the new season?
  • There is a point when you stop losing. You need to work your program, count calories and make sure you are below your target limit. If you do that, and drink water and exercise, the weight will melt. You will also not feel constrained. Hang in there, but work the program!
  • There are only two teams in EPL: Man City and Man U. Arsenal has disappointed, Liverpool has barely shown. The spanish league appears to be a one team league this year with Barcelona starting so fast that it's left everyone else in the dust. The french league, which was pretty fun, is now a one team league, given PSG…
  • I had gastric bypass on 10/22. So far so good! It's definitely a challenge. Now that I'm feeling good, all the urges have come back. I'm hoping that I learn how to manage myself. At any rate, I've lost 20 lbs in two weeks. Not bad on the whole. I'm going to try to learn how to use this tool, now that i don't eat very much.…
  • The new york times recently had a whole big piece about the science surrounding this. My experience also suggests that you may want to also reduce some of your caloric intake (about 5%) the older you get. So for equal weight, a 40 yo would need 5% fewer calories than a 30 yo.
  • Thank you. It helps a lot. What does small portion mean really?
  • Who scores 7 goals in a champion league match???????

  • I tend to agree with those who eat before and after. I have a yoghurt 45 mins before I work out. Then about 45 mins after I workout I have the rest of my breakfast. The advantage of eating something before is that it gets you a nice spike before your workout. The great thing about eating after is that the exercise curbs…
  • I don't buy all this hype about how bad serie A has gotten. I find the games pretty entertaining. I think the money realignment pushed by UEFA can only help leagues become more competitive. Soccer is too much a game of haves vs. have nots. But WHAT is happening to INTER? They lost again today
  • I'm contemplating bypass surgery (the sleeve) but im pretty scared that after all that I will go back to my old habits and nothing will be resolved. I'm also concerned about what losing 75% of my stomach will do to me long term. I'm however more and more aware of the fact that there may not be another option. My brother…
  • Severe pain of any kind, but especially in the joints is never a good thing. Use ice and aspirin to reduce inflammation and swelling. The popping in and out is probably what has caused the inflammation. The first thing that comes to mind is that you should rest the your knee. If you want to get some good exercise you may…
  • It's the new life of the league under austerity. not easy, but still good i think. Forza Lazio
