Nothing Witty to Say

It's been awhile since I wrote anything. Mainly it's because I have nothing to say. Still on my liquid diet. Thursday will be my 3 week bandiversary. I will only have 1 week to go and I get to move on to the mushy stage. I got down to 185 and have been going back and forth between 187-188. I have been really vigilant about recording everything that goes in my mouth. I'm using www.myfitnesspal.com. I have to confess that I had a McDonald's  strawberry shake and I will never ever have one ever again.  After recording the calories. I had no idea how many calories were in a lot of things until I started using this site.  Do you use any sites to record your calories?

  1. Way to go in tracking your calories and still hanging in there with the liquid diet. Impressive! I don't use anything fancy to track my intake...just a post it note. But I use calorieking.com to look stuff up. :)

  3. For tracking calories, I keep track in Excel and use Calorieking.com. However I think Fitday has a calorie tracker built it.

    I'm a little over 2 years out from lap band surgery (and reached my goal weight). I have a lot of information on my blog if you want to check it out, and if you have any questions don't hesitate to give me a holler!

    Good luck! (Getting out of the mushy phase is the best!! Don't push it though! Take it slow!)

  4. I was told that I have a lap band. I was reading other bandsters blogs and some mentioned they received a card. My first fill is in another 3-4 weeks and I'm going to clarify what type/size band I received. Thanks so much for the support and info. I'm going to check out your blog right now Christine.
