I am 42 years old and banded...... for pete's sake. #-o We "seasoned gals". know that at our age the weight just does not fall off.........at least that is my experience.

mom12 Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 I am 45 and I know I can't lose the weight like I have been able to up until now. Even when I was younger though gaining it back was an issue. I will be banded the 8th of May! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nothereanymore Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 It is harder, but once I got the band I was able to steadily loose weight. Not like when I was young, but I feel pretty good because so many people said I wouldn't be able to do it. With the band I've lost an average of 1.5 to 2 pounds per week. Pretty solid and very healthy so I'm fine with my track record to date. I had to add in exercise and throw in some PS since things don't pop back into place like they use too.... But too be honest I like my body better now than I did in my 20’s! I'm not as picky and just thrilled to be getting into shape and fitting into normal clothes and shoes! (Isn't it amazing that you feet loose weight and get smaller - I've had to buy all new shoes.. Darn it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nothereanymore Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 With working full time, one teenager still in and out of the house, and a grandbaby on the way I stay pretty busy. One of the ways I make sure to eat the right foods is to prepare it ahead of time. I use a lot of the fit and fresh smart products, you'll find that most people complain that they are too small, but they are actually just a little too big for us (some pieces). However they work great and allow you to really organize your food. This is my favorite http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp...amp;catid=45532 I have 3 and I stack them up filled with precooked meats (chicken breasts grilled on my GF grill is always in at least one) chopped up veggies, fruits, beans, whatever I can think up to put in there for a quick grab. I just take a few of the containers to work and have for lunch. And then use part for dinner. I spent part of my day on Sunday thinking about my menu and organizing my food. I organize them by meats, veggies, fruits, carbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
