  • You guys are great, what a response so far :biggrin: I will be tracking everyone's primary goal progress, but probably not measurements (judging by how many people may end up joining by Nov 1). If you have a non-weight related goal, make sure you're posting your weekly progress so I can capture it. Thanks everyone!!! Kate

  • I use that to calm any heartburn or acid reflux. Lemon is less acidic than stomach acid, and always stops the burning!

  • I have the band. It was the best decision I've ever made. I could have willpower in almost any other area of my life except food - food is not about willpower for me, it's wrapped up in friendship, comfort, emotions, psychology. When the band is filled properly, I experience no hunger, and make excellent decisions. The…
    in Lap band yay or nay? Comment by kateland August 2011
  • Exactly. It is very frustrating to me to see people fail on the band. I've had a ridiculous amount of mechanical issues and yet I knew all along I was the one ultimately responsible for my weight. it is a miracle that I have not gained 100 lbs back with how very little I've had a proper fill in 6 years! Update on me: I…

  • I have the band! I LOVE MY BAND! It is the greatest decision I ever made :) I got banded 5 years ago and lost 80 lbs the first year. My band sprung a leak, which is unusual, and my weight loss stalled for a few years. I lost another 20 on my own (it was as if I didn't have the band) but then I put back on 40. I dropped 20,…

    in Can you LOSE 50+ pounds by July 1st? CHALLENGE!!! Comment by kateland December 2010
  • Consider that the reason you're sitting at 371 is because you lost 13 lbs in a month! Wow! Your body is designed for one thing: Survival. Eat too much, and it stores everything to use later. Eat too little, and your body thinks the famine you've been prepping for has hit. 13 lbs in a month is too much, if you want to get…
    in I need to say this Comment by kateland December 2010
  • Brussel sprouts, peas, have a lot of protein! One of my favorite staple meals (especially when I'm home a lot and tend to pick) is jasmine rice, peas, and winter squash (or butternut squash). I mash em all together and chow. I was shocked at the 10g of protein in vegetarian split pea soup, too, btw. Low calorie, low fat,…

  • What a great board - lovely advice everyone. Taush, I can't add anything beyond my "ditto!" to everyone's great advice. Good for you for reaching out.
    in How do you change self talk? Comment by kateland December 2010
  • I have tried a lot of them and hate all protein shakes except two. IsoPure has a great whey protein shake without a lot of crap in it, and the taste (vanilla) is good, smooth. My favorite shake is Shakeology - chocolate. Deep chocolate taste...and it has more than just protein in it, it's the only shake I've found with…

  • Hi Struck Blue! I'm an almost Vegetarian :) I don't eat red meat or pork, and keep my protein to fish, poultry and nuts/seeds. I really like vegetarian cooking and am always down for some gluten free recipes. I have a mild gluten sensitivity so it's something I've been wanting to move towards, anyway. Looking forward to…

Gonna be a crazy year. I think I'll keep my mornings as study time, and my evenings right after work for Turbo Jam. I need the energy…
