My History and Why I am Here

Banded 6/7/07. Started at 304 got down to 218 April 10, had a small problem got a few cc taken out. Discovered I can eat junk again and bam. Weight got back up to 249 Jan. 11. So back on the band wagon. Started Jan 15,11 lost down to 238. . Got up yesterday morning had my usual coffee, at 10:30 drank my protein shake. Went to movies yesterday with family ate 1 cup of salted cashews (bad I know now) drank 1 bottle flavored water. Went to Ruby Tuesdays with family they ate their food, I ate one atkins protein bar had 2 glasses of water.  Came home and my tummy was aching.  Sat on toilet for 30 min (LOL). Swear I lost 10 lbs. (wishful thinking LOL). Got on the scale and I was back up 4 lbs. I am thinking what the heck how is this possible in less than 24 hrs i have gained 4 lbs. The other site I post on basically told me the same thing salty cashews (dang them nuts!) Water weight. So as of this morning, I weighed and it is 240.5. So all i can say is I am here for support. It has been almost 4 years. It has been hard. I like everyone else have learned to use the sliders (emotional foods) when things get icky in life.  I am going to give it my all again. When it warms up just a little more here in Georgia I have decided I am gonna start walking.

Welcome to BOTT!
I think that all weight-loss people should get together and write a book on their poop issues.  It would be a great read!  There's times that I run to the scale after getting off the toliet, it's like a game for me! 
I'm here, as well as others, to offer support.  Please start posting your planned meals and exercise for the day.  It really does help!

Good morning all, for some reason my belly is hurting this am. (maybe poopy time). I have to admit I have always had a poopy problem. And, since getting back on track i have been going at least every other day now. This is a good thing.  (LOL). Anyway, I have drank my usual 4-5cups of coffee. In about an hour I will drink my protein shake. Right now I am using Slim Fast Choc. High Protein. I put 1/2 cup ice, 1/2 cup 1 % milk, 1 scoop of SF. 1/2 banana and 1 big tbsp. p.nut butter. I use my bullet.  I have to take my dad to the vascular dr. so I am packing a protein bar. I will post later tonight what I had for lunch and dinner. Have a blessed day. WE CAN DO THIS. WE DESERVE THIS.

HAHAHAHAHA, my scale sits right next to the potty! So funny!

Maybe water weight. I know that if I am eating right and exercising that if the scale moves up a lil bit 2- 5 lbs its usually water weigh****ch your sodium and try to get a good sweat in, this usually helps me out.


Good luck!
