New to group, banded on 10/10/2012
Hi Everybody! My name is Amy and I got my band last October. I know that the band is a tool and I feel up until now I have not used it properly. I knew that losing weight was not going to happen overnight and it would take lots of hard work and yet....since I was banded almost 4 months ago, I have only lost 15lbs. I do…

Low carb (not Atkins!)
My dietician has put me on a low carb diet and its not Atkins (nothing wrong with Atkins, but this is not it). I can have 40 grams of carbs a day and I am struggling!!! I need to really change up things and find some recipes that are low carb. I have looked online all over so I'm coming here to see if anyone has…

Looking for supportive friends!
Hey everyone! I've been a member of myfitnesspal for a little while now but I fell off the wagon a while ago. I recently had lapband surgery in October and have changed my life completely!

Green Tea
So I love water but sometimes I want something with a little flavor in it. So today I bought some green tea bags that are flavored. Is it just me or is green tea nasty? Is it an aquired taste? I've tried green tea before but it was plain so I thought this would be different. Not so much. I really don't want to waste my…

Heel pain
For the past few weeks I have had this awful pain in my right heel. It comes and goes but when it hurts it HURTS. I tried changing shoes and using inserts and all that good stuff. My poor husband has even massaged it but the pain will not go away for good. I have never had one but I was thinking it could be a heel spur?…

My success isn't your ordinary success....
I will try to make this as brief as possible. I have been overweight since I was in middle school. It got much much worse after I graduated high school. At any rate, I am the type of person who gets all gung ho about exercising and healthy eating and then something happens to make me slip and I just quit all together. All…

Eliptical pain
I love the eliptical and I love the calorie burn I get on it. However, every ten minutes or so I have to get off and walk around and wiggle my toes because my feet go numb. I have tried positioning my feet different and getting inserts in my shoes and neither worked. Does anyone have any suggestions or has anyone else had…
