Happy Easter. I have very fond memories of living in Indiana as an exchange student more than 30 years ago!

My port tilted but did not need to be adjusted. It happens, your dr sounds very caring so I am sure you will come through just fine and get this journey of yours off to a fantastic start with his support.

Great message Terry. One way to build those markers is by rewarding yourself so that you associate the reward (non-food) with your NSV. For example, when I could ride a certain distance I rewarded myself with a new road bike. That was pretty big reward but was all the more special because my husband initiated it. Another reward I gave myself was a new gold watch when I hit a scale goal. Since then I've had another link removed and it is loose again. Keep up your great work!

Of course people should see their Dr but don't forget that with mobile devices these days, people could be posting while on their way to their Dr or we.

It will get better. Try different sleeping positions, including the recliner. Hang in there.

Yes, you are normal. Now is the time to practise your band eating rules until you get sufficient fills for the band to really do its job for you. Good luck.

Their loss, not yours. Good on you for putting yourself out there for people. At the very least, each time you tell your story to someone else, you are reminding and reinforcing to yourself just what has worked so well for you and that has got to make it easier to keep on doing what works!

Congratulations! It's awesome fun buying new clothes. I keep on doing it In fact, today I went to a clothes store at a shopping centre because I wanted a pair of three-quarter length pants for work (it's summer here in Australia). The shop was having a sale with a whole rack of clothes going out at just $3 each! So I picked up a pair of slacks, shorts, a lovely sun dress plus the three-quarter length pants I went in for.

It's easier to start and continue exercising when you enjoy it so look for activities that you enjoy. I love cycling, dancing, walking and swimming, which gives me plenty of variety as well.

You mentioned that you are not exercising as you should - perhaps you have already identified an area that you can focus on to achieve the results you are looking for. Good luck and hang in there!

The cure is simply greater exposure to the allergen! Exercise more (inadvertent exercise like you describe is ideal) until suddenly one day you realise that you are not only no longer allergic, but that you also require it to have a great day. Cycle commuting 30km to work is undoubtedly the very best way to start my day!

Congratulations on getting married. Sounds like you picked a winner with a supportive husband! Keep up the great work.

Amazing picture. Stay safe

I have just lost a workmate to cancer just days ago so your pain is also very raw for me. Treasure these precious moments with your Dad and let his strength be your strength moving forward.

The only issue I have is pressure on my port. But I do like how it holds in the jiggles!
