Hi! I'm new here too. I need to lose a hundred pounds, so I investigated options and decided IF I went the surgical route, I wanted a lap band. When I attended the seminar, it kept coming to me that if I just made the changes BEFORE the surgery that I'd have to make AFTER the surgery anyhow, I wouldn't NEED the surgery! I decided to make a last ditch effort before starting the pre-surgery stuff. You might say I'm a "pretend lapbander", which doesn't make me welcome on WLS boards! Maybe if I just make pretend posts? :-) Sure enough, I've lost enough that I now don't qualify for WLS! I do not have a problem with anyone going the surgical route, and will pursue it myself later if I regain, but for now I'm pretending my way skinny. This seems like a welcoming group. Guess we'll see!

Topic: RE: Tips on getting off my a$$

Welcome to the board!
The thing that worked best for me was to pray for the motivation and strength to want more for myself. I made a commitment to myself that was obtainable. I would move my body in some way, shape or form for 15 minutes a day, when that became too easy I upped it to 20 and so on until I was doing an hour of cardio 5 days a week. If you make small, obtainable goals it is easier to change. Remember why you are doing this and that you are worth it! Hope this helps! God bless you.

Topic: Tips on getting off my a$$

Hey all. I am struggling SO much with getting the motivation to exercise. I find every excuse to NOT do it.

Any one have suggestions on what has worked for them to make it easier/more fun to keep my up and moving and motivated?

Topic: Hi all!

I just wanted to take a minute and introduce myself.

I am Kelli and I am currently pursuing WLS but I am on week 5 of my 12 week pre diet program that my insurance requires. I have been reading several posts and have learned a lot.

I feel like this board will be better suited for me right now as I dont feel very welcomed on the surgical boards since I havent had the surgey yet.

I am looking forward to chatting with all of you!

Topic: RE: hcg

I am currently doing the HCG protocol I work with a Naturopathic Physician and I am having really good results. I lost 30 pounds the first 40 days. I found for me the strictness of it is one reason I am doing so well. If I am going to stick a shot in my belly every morning, then I am going to follow the protocol. With such a short list of foods to eat, I know I only have to shop for like 8-10 different things and I am all good. I was never hungry on it and I can not wait until my "break" is over and I can get back on it.

Life is short, laugh easily, forgive quickly, and never regret anything that made you smile.
