Looking for a partner in crime ;)

Hey guys!

I've been a bad girl! Ok. not really, just having some difficulty losing the weight. Currently I am not at a proper fill level......and cannot afford a fill (whole other story) so I'm gonna have to go at this from a different angle till I'm back on my feet. Before I was banded, low carb & walking combined seemed to be the only way to shed the pounds. So I'm back to give it another go. I just started this past Monday, and would love to have the support and encouragement of others who are starting a low carb lifestyle as well. Any tips, recipes, suggestions or comments are very much appreciated. Anyone interested in doing weekly checkins on our progress??? If so let me know. I'd love to have a few partners in crime for this process. Looking forward to chatting it up, and sharing the experience with others. Thanks, and good luck!

Hi Snowboots. I would like to partner with you on this weight loss journey. I am getting fills but have not reached the sweet spot that I read about on this forum. Today I weighed myself and the scale went up a pound. I am not weighing and measuring my food right now to my own detriment. I was ok with not losing weight, but I am not ok with gaining weight. My next fill is 7/28/09. I hope that one helps.

When would you like to get started? Looking forward to hearing from you.

Can I join in on this? I'm having trouble sticking to lowfat. I have a tendency to crave junk like chips and other crunchies. I wanna go back on low-carb, too. Hopefully for life. I'm at pretty good restriction, I'm just not eating the right stuff.

count me in also i have the same problem it seems when i count calories i gain but when i watch my carbs i lose strange thought

I too have not done low carb. I want in... :)

Be prepared. You will have a lot of abuse heaped on you for daring to eat low carb. Many low-carbers think diet alone should do it, and criticize those with the band, and bandsters often criticize low-carbers, saying that if you just follow the banding rules, you don't need to low-carb. I say phooey to both sides. Obesity is a complex issue, just as our bodies are complex organic machines. I am 2 1/2 years post-banding and a permanent low-carber. Personally, I need both to be healthy. Carbage goes through that banded stomach just fine, so I low-carb to keep my cravings at bay.
