  • I log all my foods and do everything as far as nutrition goes all on MFP... I have negative calorie disabled because it pisses me off (LONG EXPLANATION) which can be done on the settings on MFP... I don't log my runs but I do log my elliptical time since I get more calories for it... I do love my Flex!!

A few years after the lapband. I chose to undergo another bariatric…

  • It will all work out just fine! I have FINALLY reached a point where I do not freak if I hit a stall or even gain a pound or two (which is usually just hormonal or water) because as long as I eat that protein and stay in my calorie count and WORK OUT (big one for me cuz I can still eat to 1200 calories without a…
