BOTT Challenge for January - Roll Call - Thurs

Hey all!

I think I did pretty darn good yesterday, but I realize I'm drinking alot of calories at night. I don't burn enough calories during the day to make up for it so I'm going to quit doing that.

Today I'm implementing Kathy's idea of breakfast earlier in the day and trying to eat something evey three hours. It may get tricky through the day later on becaue I don't choose when I eat dinner, its kinda layed out there at 7-ish and that's that. Thems the breaks when living with mom and dad. Well... we'll give this a week and see how it goes.

I think you are doing Fantastic. 

What I love about our group is we see what may be  hampering our weight loss, acknowlege it, own it and make adjustments.    Now that is success for sure 

Hey, give it a try what do you have to lose?  Pounds we hope 

Take care,
Kathy

I'm going to add mine, since it seems the in thing to do!! I hope you're right Kathy, because Losing would be great!

Another thing I found to help when the numbers were not moving is I changed up my exercise and increased my protein, review my carbs and made sure they were complex carbs. 

o you see, there are lots of things we can try.  Keep in mind sometimes our bodies are our worst enemies.  I had a 9 week time frame where the scale did  not move and I was ready to jump....but I stayed the course and it finally moved again.

Hang in there 

Hi All :)

I joined this group last year, but didn't really participate.  I'm ready to participate now.

I got down to a post-op low of 172 in June of last year, by exercising 5 days a week and watching my intake.  As the year wore on, my reactive hypoglycemia began to give me a lot of trouble and I gradually started to eat almost constantly in order to avoid "crashing".

As a result, I weighed  in at 194 this morning.  I know some of that is water because I've been sick and eating salty chicken soup for the past two days.  However, it's totally unnaceptable that I've gained back 20 lbs.  I never reached my goal weight of 150 :(.

I'm off to work now.  I'll play with the weight tracker and see if I can get it to work for me.  I have no way to exercise right now, as I have cold-air induced asthma, no money for a gym and no exercise equipment or videos at home.  I'll figure something out in that regard, too.

Welcome, Welcome, Welcome 

We are so glad to have you hear    When you get clearance to workout, please let me know and I have a lot of suggestions for you.

If you have any issues with the Health Tracker, please let me know.  Don't forget we have tutorials showing you how to use it in the Help section in the upper right hand corner of the website.

Take care,
kathy

Since Monday I have been rocking my band.
When Monday started I was up 10 pounds since my last DR visit. Today I stepped on the scale and I am down 6.
Keeping motivated staying focused becoming disciplined, and being accountable by writing it down, clearly and in detail. Always think on paper. A goal that is not in writing is not a goal at all. It is merely a wish and it has no energy behind it. Set a Deadline and remembering that "success comes with a back bone not a wish bone" has helped.

Way to go                                                                                                                                  

I got your email about the bracelets and will be sending you some additional information soon.

Take care,
Kathy

Good Afternoon Everyone!

Yesterday went well with Ms. Picky pouch.  She actually got hungry in the evening and although I was hesitant I ate a protein bar with no ill effects.

I exercised on the gazelle yesterday morning for 20 of the 30 minutes planned but I am increasing my time.

My eats for the day were:

B: 2 cups of protein coffee w/soy milk
S: Creamy chicken soup
L: 2  SF jello cups, muscle milk light
S: Sausage and vegetable soup and muscle milk light
D: click/choc protein/PB2/soy shake
S: Protein bar

Have a GREAT day!

Great job, and glad to hear your pouch is remaining silent.
