My Progress

I started this blog in March 2010 when I found out I was approved to move forward with Lap-Band surgery. I've always fancied myself a "writer" though I hate the pretension that usually comes along with that label. I've also never managed to keep a steady journal, blog, or website going for more than a few months (instead I've started many over the years and they've fizzled out.) But here you go, my latest attempt, and because it's an issue that's so important, I've really tried to keep up with it on a regular basis.

If you're interested in reading the whole story from the beginning, you should scroll down and start with the earliest posts, moving forward. Yes, I know you know how a blog works but my grandmother might visit this website too, you know!

I chose "Results Not Typical" because that's always the disclaimer you see on commercials for weight loss products and services. Well, I've never been typical in any sense of the word, so I'm hoping this time around is no different. I told myself when I started that I was going to excel at this (as I do with most things I put my mind to) and I'm happy to report that I already have. 15 months after my surgery, I am down 95 lbs. I truly cannot believe it, nor can I believe (or could I have imagined) the differences in my life.

I welcome comments by email or left here and hope to offer support to others.

2 week experiment, days 9 and 10

Well, Tuesday morning the weigh in was great but I bounced right back to 181 and have stayed there for 2 days. Yesterday I worked out hard and I expected myself to be hungry today but I haven't been that much.

I missed posting yesterday so here are Tuesday's stats:

Calories: 1493
Carbs: 137 g
fat: 54 g
Protein: 137 g
Exercise: 418 calories

Then Wednesday:
Cal: 1410
Carbs: 92g
Fat:68g
Protein: 132g
Exercise: 496 calories

And so far so good today with feeling not hungry (except for a few times, which I've then become satisfied very quickly.)

Going out to dinner tonight with a friend and not sure where we're going or what it'll be like so it's a good thing I haven't been hungry. On the other hand, I should probably eat a MF bar before getting there.

I am keeping up the faith that there's NO WAY my body can actually hold onto fat when I'm eating so little and exercising so much. AND I'm giving it a crap load of protein so what's the deal? Not getting discouraged. It's an experiment after all so if it doesn't work then I know and don't continue but it defies all logic how if my body needs 1500 calories just to exist (!!! about 2300 to maintain my current body composition) and I'm netting around 1000 a day, how come I'm not losing 1/2 pound a day here. Oy, if someone could just figure all this out they'd be a millionaire.
