126 pounds in 6 months....

I now use dannon greek yogurt with peaches running about 80 calories. Before though I would go to Fred Meyers and by their CarbMaster yougurt. Very low in sugar and a wide variety of flavors.

Welcome! And welcome to your new journey! So many nice people here to help you along the way. It will still be your determination to succeed but many will help you when you get stuck or just help keep your spirits in check! Welcome to your new life!

My Favorite thus far is Greek yogurt and peaches with 2 sausage links...

I too have 4 children of which 2 live with me still and the youngest is 2 years old. The oldest, she is 29 years old. Never be it told that a man cannot gain wait during his wife's pregnancy :)

Thank you! I appreciate the help. At least I know now I can get one without having to have a cell phone.

Since I have a bunch of fitbit guros here, I am hoping you wouldn't mind my asking a few simple questions. I do not have a cell phone at all, don't really want one either. I do have wifi network in my home though and several pc's. Do you need a smart cell phone to operate the fitbit? Thanks for entertaining such a silly…

Hello, great question! I went through bariatric surgery in Sept 23 2013. Was 2 pounds away from 300 pounds total. Had many issues that demanded my attention and surgery to help loose weight or I could have been refused surgery to save my life. Nevertheless-I got on the band wagon and followed completely and the last time I…

Thanks all. Here we have a store called the BIG 5. I will check them out. Hope they will be good to go to. I also have a store called sports authority as well. They are trying to be something like the bass pro shops....

I would say Courage and Perseverance. The courage to go on and Perseverance to push you through those days that seem to be a challenge. These two things with all the other good advises listed will get you through many things in life and not only weight loss. Remember to take what you have learned through weight loss and…

Thanks Steve. On my light days I do cardio with weights training for reps and on my harder days I actually do cardio seperate during the day and then workout with minimal reps and weight. Trying to loose weight after bypass surgery but also want to see some definition which I am slowly but surely.

Did a search and GNC sells hand grips with rep counter and calories burned. So indeed-as with any activity there must be fuel spent to do such, this energy expenditure means calories burned. I too use a hand grip. So I thought it was neat that indeed they sell a gadget - I only wish they stated their formula....

Greetings! Hope all is going well and much success to you. For vitamins, I take the Bariatric Fusion. I had the gastric bypass surgery switch and these vitamins have been a true blessing. No problem keeping well nourished. They don't taste that bad either.

I would suggest using some bands, stretch tubes, dumbbells, kettlebell, and maybe a thigh toner which could be used for your thighs and upper body (chest). This all should fit nicely in a laundry basket. The dumbbells I would buy are changeable. All this equipment combined would cost 100 or less. Just a thought. I live in…
