headed to the dentist for a few fillings (ugh), and then stopping by the store to pick up supplies for the many families who have lost their homes and are spending the night in shelters.

is now seeking recommendations for increased energy throughout the day. I sleep 8-10 hours a night, I exercise daily, and I take my vitamins, but I'm still sooo tired. What gives?

Hey, friends! It's good to hear from everyone that has been checking in lately and I'm so happy for those of you seeing good results! For those of you feeling frustrated and challenged, just hang in there! I know that it seems slow-going, but if you can picture what youll look like in 9-12 months, it might help you keep motivated. I know that sometimes I stop and think I haven't lost much, but then I have to remind myself that it's not even been 2 months yet! Anyway, I have been doing great with the band and haven't had any problems so far. I am 7 1/2 weeks out and down 34 lbs. I guess my only complaint is CONSTIPATION - Grr! Onward and downward, my friends! -
Feeling accomplished after my evening workout. I'll be back at the gym at 9: 00 a.m., 'cause that's what awesome people do. And I'm awesome.

In my neighborhood, neighbors bring me home-grown watermelon and flower seeds. We gather in the street at night to swap recipes and parenting tips while our kids ride bikes together. We put out our neighbor's trash on trash day if they forget and we always have play dates on Friday. I don't have to lock my door at night. Yes, I live in the best place on Earth.

Hey, Nancy! I got my first fill recently and got .8 cc, which she said was "a lot" for a first fill, so I think .5 is probbaly about average. Have you noticed a difference? I haven't. -

I pulled some 2009 pants I had outgrown out of the back of the closet hoping they would fit, and was pleasantly surprised to find they were TOO BIG. Score!
