  • Maybe I am NOT a failure after all.......... (1) I switched back to the type of workout I started out with and almost immediately dropped 2 lbs. (I *LOVE* Jillian Michaels!) (2) I saw my doctor who was very concerned that I had a hysterectomy last year but had opted to not take hormone replacement therapy. He ordered a…

    in 1 Year, 87 lbs., and getting close! Comment by r121567 August 2012
  • WLS was three years ago and a HUGE waste of money! I can eat but only about the portion of a lean cuisine meal. I feel like I am eating all of the time but still not hitting the calorie mark. I'm not sure I even want to hit the calorie mark. I've had great success in the past by not eating - eating more, rather than less,…

  • Its actually pretty hard for me to eat more than 1200 calories ~ even if I wanted to. With the lap band I am restricted - which is the point of having the lap band! Eat less. I try to make the most of what I do eat - I always eat my protein first, sides last. I tend to stick with chicken or fish, I'm not much for red meat.…

  • If I had it to do over, I don't think I would have taken this route. I have lost weight in the past, I just lost sight of being healthy. No surgery can replace the need for a healthy lifestyle.

  • I started on 7-23-12. I did 30+ day of Jillian Michaels Beginner first and very glad that I did! On sculpt days I also walk. The 7-7-7 is the worst part for me. Power Yoga is pretty tough but I am already seeing improvement. I note sure if I will ever be able to do the narrow push ups but I will press on and keep giving it…

  • I was sitting at home with my ipad in my lap playing words with friends after a long day at working wishing I had time to exercise when it hit me like a ton of bricks.......if I exchanged the time I spent on games & facebook, I would have time to exercise! I temporarily removed my facebook account and resigned from all…

  • I just ordered the Power 90 (not P90X) and can't wait to give it a go next week! I started out with Jillian Michaels Beginnger DVDs and after a month, I believe I am ready to graduate to the next level. I have lost 7 lbs and several inches with Jillian - I needed a place to begin this has been a great start! I'm feeling…
    in Starting Power 90? Comment by r121567 July 2012
  • Pretty sure I can cut my carbs down to 100g but how do I get my protein up to 100g? I am *SUPPOSE* to be eating 1200 calories before exercise but I am actually getting more in the 1000-1100 range. Suggestions?

  • I recently watched a news report about how not all calories are the same. The food industry is really pushing these 100 calorie packaged snacks but JUNK is still JUNK regardless of how it is packaged. The study compared three basic diet types, LOW CARB (aka Atkins), LOW FAT, and GLYCEMIC INDEX BASED (aka South Beach or…
    in Is weight loss simple maths or more? Comment by r121567 July 2012
  • I was banded 2 years ago - at first I had some success but I never really changed the habits that put the weight on. The band has not been the instant, effort free solution I had hoped for. I am finding that I still have to work for it. I LOVE MFP, wish I had found it sooner. I am keeping track of everything I put in my…

  • I had surgery 2 years ago - at first I had some success but I am back to where I started. I am to the point of considering a revision surgery to the gastric sleeve OR give healthy diet and exercise a *REAL* chance. The band was not the instant, effort free solution I had hoped for. I am finding it difficult to eat all of…

  • I find lots of water keeps urinary tract infections away - makes my hair & nails grow faster & skin younger - I fill a gallon pitcher up every morning, I drink at LEAST that much every day. BTW, I gained weight when I stopped so I'm back to my old ways!

  • miam4nia: How long did it take for you get past the felling ill. I understand what you were were describing = not nauseated, more like a general unwell feeling. I had that the 3-4th day I started really working out. I literally felt like I had the flu - muscle aches (of course), stiffness, headache, even ringing in my ears…
