Topic: RE: Dining out while eating healthy
One of the easiest things about eating low carb is that it's easy to eat out.  The hardest part for me is my husband telling me it's ok to go off of my diet just this once...he doesn't get that lifetime commitment thing.  What I do is list three of his favorite restaurants that I know I can eat at, that throws him off of thinking about me and then tell him it's his choice, the only place I can't eat is Krispey Kreme.  He's happy, the scale is happy, which makes me happy!

Topic: RE: Greetings
we all know "diet and exercise" are the key  not only for weight lose but for good health. i am new to my lapband and my initial plan is too use my band and a crutch when my dieting efforts fail hopefully that will be few and far in between. in my mind is doesn't make since to get surgery if you not willing to learn to eat properly. so you very well might be able to loose by eating sensibly and exercising. about the doctor thing and the rny---can you imagine be a doctor and the frustrations they experience everytime meds fail their pts with diabetes. so when they feel the can offer what many consider a near cure to the dreadful disease, they are excited and want pts to have that success. i don't think its sinister at all, so much success to you and you be the final judge if you'll have another surgery or not.

Topic: Alli or Full Bar??
This is the first time I posted on this board, actually this is the first time Ive even visited this board.  I am at this point in the process of going thru the process for WLS however I still of doing it on my own without WLS.   I dont feel that I have the willpower or self disipline to stick to something to make me lose the weight, I feel having WLS will be the tool I need to teach myself how to have self control.  IDK maybe im just fooling myself, but I thought id get advice if any of you used Alli or Full Bar or anything else as a tool to help you lose the weight.

Topic: RE: I'M BACK....to OH board and WW!
Ruth....how long has it taken you to lose the weight?  I really have no timetable in mind....just want to keep making healthy choices and get there slow but sure.  I am attending meetings...I get a lot out of them.  I have done WW many many times over the last 40+ years, but never reached goal.  I would love to get to a lifetime membership too.  We have one in our group who lost 150lb and has maintained it for 4 years and still comes to every single meeting every week.

I so admire your journey and believe you will keep it off this time.  I'm a self sabotager and I think the key for me is believing I deserve this.....I deserve to make healthy choices, feel the increased energy, get off my BP and cholesterol medications and prolong my life.  I want to see these grandchildren graduate, marry and make me a great grandmother!!!

I'm proud that I made it through DAY 3 sticking to my points!  Believe it or not, there have been lots of plans I've tried where I haven't lasted that long!

Skylar, I do the same thing....cook up a big pot of steel cut oats and then we have them for a few days.  Love my oatmeal with flax seed, cinnamon and fruit on top for breakfast!!

I had no idea Hungry Girl did that - I thought it was just recipes. That tip about having them remove the breadsticks from the table is a good idea to take that temptation away if everyone at the table agrees.

I'm sensitive to sodium too and I'm shocked by how little salt it takes to make me swell. I can't tell you how thrilling it is to not have my feet and fingers swelling all the time since I stopped eating processed food. That darn sodium is so well hidden in all the processed food.
