A yr ago when this date came up I almost called and cancelled it thinking...look at me and at my age...its to late....well am I ever glad I kept that appt...It was a life changer.... It hasnt always been easy...at the begining I couldnt walk to check my mail with out huffing...and I would of never thought of getting down on the floor to do exercizes....now I can easily walk 3 miles..I use a stationary bike and do floor exersizes. Thank you all who share your stories be they good or bad...they all help me...and I want to thank my sister who keeps me pushing....Its been a great year...I have 49 lbs to be at goal...so still walking... thanks all

I had a nsv today we went to a amusement park and I rode the bumper cars with my kids...we all had a great time today

hello...for me logging everything i eat no matter how small a bite helps....i also use fitness pal....and doing some sort of exersise helps me feel like I dont want to counter act my effots.....good luck..its a tough job !

i was drinking water so easy befor banding...after banding i hated the taste of it unless i mixed propel with it..but just this week i have noticed im enjoying just water again..so i guess we just have to listen to our bodies !!!

Jim I think we all have or have had a loved one who has had to deal with that ugly word cancer....Its never easy and it sure sounds like your dad has had his share....my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family...
