Back to basics

I pulled out the food log today and I am about to go do my exercise. I am getting back to basics. I would love to have a list of some basics from some others that have put on the 10 lbs bounce back weight and have taken it back off. What did you all do or what are you doing to get it back off. I can still wear my clothes but they are not as comfortable as before. I do not want to ever go up a size again. SO I AM BACK AND WILL PARTICIPATE IN THE ACCOUNTABILITY!

Thanks for any sugestions.

I exercise every day for an hour. It's worth it. I reach for protein first then fresh veggies/fruits. If my weight climbs up I cut back on eating my 1/2 sandwiches for lunch and eat deli meat/cheese wrapped in lettuce or  just by itself. I don't drink with my meals. I don't drink alcohol. I schedule "treats" which are WW ice cream treats. I don't drink the protein shakes anymore, I'd rather have food.

Congrats on catching yourself and getting back on track. What kind of exercise do you do? How hard are you exercising, are you pushing yourself?

I only weigh once a week, I'm not on a diet but a lifestyle change. I don't play games with myself anymore, if I'm doing everything right everything just falls into place.

Here's my exercise routine: I walk 3 miles Mon thru Friday with my girlfriend at work during lunchtime. In addition to that I do the following:

Water aerobics: Mon and Wed, also on Wed I do the 0700 Cardio Body scultping class, Tues and Thurs: Weight lifting class and now since it's snowing and I miss biking, I will change Thurs. wt. lifting class to spin class. Once in awhile I go to water aerobics on Sat mornings. I enjoy my workout classes, I look forward to them.

I regain and lose the same 20lbs and have for the past 6 years (It has been 8 years since my RNY). 

Normally I do well but every once in a while things creep up.  This is what I do!

I do HIIT 3 times a week for 20-30 minutes  (I HATE cardio- so this is perfect)
I weight train 6 times a week for about an 45 minutes

When I need to lose the 20lbs I up my HIIT to 6 times a week with my weight training.

I do a modified version of Body for Life.

I eat alot of protein and restrict my bad carbs.

I am familiar with HITT, I mix it up. I just got the fluidity system and I started that. I will also incorporate bike riding into my workouts. I like tabata, I get bored easily so I mix it up. I am hoping to do something different daily.

Hi,

I went to WW meetings and following that program . The accountability of what I am eating as well as weekly weigh-ins are critical for me.

I had WLS in Dec 06 at 233 pounds and my lowest was 133 (for a day) but on average, my weight was stable at 138 which was good for me. I am 5'2.

IN Sept 08, Hurricane Ike hit our area pretty hard and I was drinking alcohol more than normal then my birthday came in Oct 08 and I was partying pretty much every weekend and ended up weighing 148-150 by the time November hit.

I went back to WW on Nov 3 and have lost down to 145 and still working to get back to 135.

I run about 3 times a week but desire to run 5 times a week.  Writing/tracking what I eat and weekly weigh ins are what I need for life!! in order to be successful.

Good luck to you and its great that you have realized that you need to get back to basics. We can be successful if we realize when there is a problem and address it quickly before it gets out of control.
