After my last weigh in (2 weeks ago), I decided that I was going to track my calories. I have been doing this with the MyFitnessPal app. I am currently eating 1310 calories a day and it seems to be working. I also think that my band is filled to a good point. I might need another small fill, but for now I think it's ok. I need to get better at chewing my food. I seem to get a lot of things stuck but I know it's my own fault because it doesn't happen when I am more aware of what I'm doing.
I have finally realized that in order to reach my goal by the end of the year, I only need to lose 1.5 pounds a week. I have been expecting too much from the surgery. I knew when I got it that I would be a TOOL to lose weight and not a miracle cure. I have always been the type to want results "overnight" but I'm slowly realizing that it takes a lot of work and the scale will eventually catch up.
Ok, so let's get to the important stuff.... the stats.
