[QUOTE="Star*, post: 529030, member: 4964"] I don't know how much you weigh ------but I weighed 298 lbs - and did check into lab band and got mortified. I went back to my doctor and she put me on a very simple plan of eating and I lost about 2 lbs a week - I had horrible headaches, periods, watergain......... I got put on topamax, metformin (for pre-diabetes -sugars were in the 230's) and some water pill - I still take all three - I'm down to 170 - it took a year and 1/2. I went from 24 pants to size 6 pants. I have not gained ANY of it back. (okay a smidge at Christmas) I cheated. The plan was simple.......I called it my New Way Of Life. ANYONE that has done what she told me to do - LOOSES weight like (snap) You have to have a physical first and have an A1a blood test for pre-diabetes done. It's advisable to be put on something that helps you curb your appetite - but not necessary You MUST drink 8 bottles of water a day YOu MUST commit to STOP eating anything after 7 PM _ NO CHEATING OR IT WILL NOT WORK - PERIOD FINI END OF CONVERSATION. You MUST EAT BREAKFAST, LUNCH, DINNER - and two snacks daily - at around 11:00 and 3:00 PM You have to eat to loose - no exceptions no skipping. Your caloric intake is no more than 2500 calories to start - give or take but not ABSOLUTE. YOU are in charge. You may NOT consume ANYTHING AT ALL with more than 10 grams of SUGAR - if it says 11 - and you eat it - YOU CHEATED YOURSELF. FAT content - sodium, low carb - doesn't matter a bit. You do NOT have to exercise - nope. I never did a thing, a single work out - a music video. HOWEVER - I will tell you this - Once you go from a size 24 pants to a size 16 - YOU FEEL so good you start doing crazy things like - Parking at the end of a parking lot - walking more with your dog ---you may even get an exercise machine and get off your butt and ride something. You FEEL better - you WILL MOVE more - the more you move - the more weight you loose. YOu won't HURT as bad because your little ankles and joints won't ACHE from trying to support all that weight. I couldn't walk from the handicapped stall to the door at walmart without being out of breath and having to sit - NOW I can RUN a mile with the dog........and I can walk nearly 5 without breaking a sweat. I lifted 22 tons of clothes a week and wasn't tired. My periods are normal - agoided a hysto oopho rectomy altogether and I feel mentally less foggy (mostly lol) SO ------PROTEIN. FISH, PEANUT BUTTER - GIVE UP WINDOW FOOD - SODA IS GARBAGE - EVEN DIET IS GARBAGE - it has bad stuff in it that makes you CRAVE bad foods...... CRYSTAL LIGHT IS GOOD - DIET TEA IS GOOD - SPLENDA BLEND IS GOOD 1% milk is GOOD SPECIAL K is GOOD 100 calorie snack packs - GOOD COUNTING YOUR PORTIONS AS THE SIZE OF THE PALM OF YOUR HAND? EXCELLENT - 1 meat and 2x the veggies - EXCELLENT USE A SMALLER PLATE - GOOD ICE WATER - GOOD - because you basically FLUSH all the fat out of your system - (sorry to say but you literally pee yourself thin) How else is it going to get out? Sweat? M Not so much Sugar free candy - good Restaurant food - NO Pack a lunch - GOOD Veggies - GOOD Rice - pasta - (m mmmm that goes to sugar - think about that ) Weight watchers for lunch - that's good Weight watchers Dessertes - LOTS OF SUGARS - BAD SLIM FAST - 22 grams of sugar - no wonder you don't loose weight....Most people So whats it going to be Shell?
