You are so young, if I were you I'd try a different route first. I had the surgery a few years ago, and it really is not a magic bullet. I haven't lost any significant weight that I couldn't have done on my own without surgery. I regret the Lab Band, it's been a rough road for me and I would recommend you trying anything…

Glad you got over your cravings hump. I am having tacos tonight too. I omit the shells and just make a big salad with meat, cheese and toppings.

YES this! Get a bacon double cheeseburger - don't eat the bun. It's all coming back to me now.

I know it's hard, I was probably feeling the exact same way - 2 months ago. 2 months later I have gained 5 pounds and am trying to get back on the ketosis wagon. It's hard!!!! Are you craving salty or sweet? Eat a big giant steak with mushrooms and cream sauce, or lobster with butter. If it's sweet - Eat 2 pieces of…

Thank you! I am still not completely out of the water but am getting there.

I just replied to the one of the top messages for "Muffin In a Minute" - - you can see a number of recipes that you can create. 1 egg 1 Tbsp flax ground 2 Tbsp coconut flour Almond butter (or peanut butter) Splenda Tiny bit of baking powder. Mix all up in a big coffee mug and microwave for a minute. Turns into a puffy…

These muffins are exactly what a low-carber needs and wants!!! I love the fact that you can mix and interchange and really not screw it up too bad. It's a little bready muffin that I have been craving in the morning. I made mine with::: 1 egg, 1 tbsp ground flax, 2 tbsp coconut flour, 2 tsp almond butter, scant baking…

Everyone is suggesting Atkins, which is awesome & a great way for an easy start. For free you can sign up at their web site & they have the basics program spelled out quite nicely, message boards, and they send you coupons, etc,,,, I much prefer MFP to there though. BUT if you want to have your mind blown, go to the…

Try this: Frozen Greek Yogurt. Greek Yogurt - Full Fat!!! Choice of Berry: Blueberry, Strawberry, Blackberry. Splenda. Put in small container & freeze. It will be very hard when frozen, but if you let it thaw a bit & then stir up. It really is fabulous, even better than ice cream.

I checked yesterday and was 'out of' ketosis, but I ate clean yesterday - so hopefully when I stick to it today, by the end of the day I am back in baby. I always thought that if I went into ketosis, the weight would just fall off me, but I am struggling with the scale - it's still only a 1/2 pound loss a week. Even…

I am choosing to eat "low carb" from now on and I do not need wheat or sugar in my diet. That being said, the fluctuations really bother me too, I go down then go up 2 pounds overnight - stay there for a week, and then finally the weight goes back down. Results are the scale is creeping slowly downward. 20 Pounds in a…

Raspberry or Pear Vodka & Club Soda is my go-to cocktail. 70 Calories, -0- Carbs - Be careful because you can get drizzunk if you did not eat enough.

Hi. I have been low carb for exactly 3 weeks. I have lost 5 pounds, and the last 2.5 pounds were just this (3rd) week. It's been slow, but I feel that this is working for me. I do not feel hungry, or have cravings. The amazing part of this whole change is the loss of massive cravings for wheat, sugar, candy, pastry, etc,…

The swearing is the way to go! Get up and tell someone they did a great effin job!

Hey guys, I am in the middle of reading Wheat Belly. I have often considered myself wheat intolerant, but have not been able to just give up the grains. It is a psychological as well as a physiological problem for me. As soon as Ive tried Atkins in the past, it triggers something mentally for me & I just want CARBS and…

Sorry you are feeling so bad. Just make sure you tell your daughter you lover her & she is always wanted & welcome back. Keep strong in this very difficult time, take care of yourself by eating the right foods, exercising and talking to friends and people her at MFP. Teens always want to experience life, pushing boundaries…

"Although--are there any veggies that grow okay in planters/pots? " Yes! We live in a townhouse and we are not allowed to have any food growing in the ground, so my dear boyfriend with his green thumb made a Salad Table (google it) for our deck. It gave us greens for most of the summer, though they've dried up recently.…

It depends. I have it & often egret doing it. I have done a lot of thinking about why it hasn't really worked for me and I have come up with some philosophies. I have a friend who lost a TON of weight with Lap Band and looks great, she was a thin child but gained much of her weight after having children, and NEVER EVER…

Hey guys, I will join you all. I had the band in early 2010... have had a number of fills but haven't had any significant weight loss. It's been really depressing because I spent so much money & have little results (20# and then stopped). I know I have restriction, because certain things get stuck & it sucks. I barf a…

I just did & her pictures are great on there. Thanks for the tip.

I think eating a yogurt is perfectly acceptable. I started mixing Yogurt & Cottage Cheese together in equal proportions back when I was doing Body for Life (see book). Different yogurts give you different flavors, the LF cottage cheese adds that good protein we all need. It sounded gross at first to me, but now I eat it…

You look great. I love those work-outs, they are so much fun & really changes your body.
-
You are doing wonderful. Don't be too hard on yourself, it's a journey! I have no room to talk because I know it's my biggest problem, but it might be bad-carbs, sugar, white flour, etc.

I am relatively new here too. I am less of an emotional eater, and more of just an eater eater. I like food, I hate to "diet" because I need to feel satisfied, or I start craving more food. I think it's all physiological - my brain craves food when I being to count calories, or attempt to limit myself. I am just trying to…

Absolutely! Back Away, turn around & run as fast as you can!!! A matter of fact, I believe a jar of nutella a week ago was what spurred me to get back on MFP and start calorie watching. I can't keep it in the house because a spoon is always in it. It's like crack.

Congratulations on your weight loss! sounds like you are doing great, but I understand it's hard to keep going. Just have to keep your eye on the ultimate goal of being healthy and feeling good.
