  6. I've lost 55lbs in 5 months. It's been slower this past month. I really don't exercise though. Sometimes I walk. I think the big key is LOW carbs/sugar!!!! I'm happy if it goes slow bc then the skin can keep up and not get too saggy. That's my goal anyway!!

  10. Thanks for this post. I needed it today. To remind me of how far I have come. I, too, have hit my 50lb point. I hit it a month or so ago and have been on a plateau, letting snacks creap back in. I haven't gained any but know I'm eating more carbs than protein. I have been feeling down about it. I go to a support group once a month but don't have any "friends" with the band who "get" what I'm going through physically and emotionally. Reading your post reminded me of all I have been through to get to where I am today and how great I have done and how great I feel and how much I enjoy people telling me how great I look. Thanks so much!!

  12. Happy one month bandiversary to April 24thers!!!
  13. Almost one month with the band. Just got my first fill. 2.4 cc. im wondering if anyone is having difficulty toleration dairy??? Im having pretty bad pains in my chest and I guess it's gas. Trying to figure out if it's something specific I'm eating.
  14. Ugh. I've had a sharp pain in my chest for three days now. Got an X-ray and first fill yesterday so we know nothing is stuck. Been taking gas x and walking. Not helping. Not sure it's gas but don't know what else it could be. Anyone??
  15. Thanks! I'm looking forward to it bc I'm fairly hungry often right now so I def need it.
  16. Wow. That stuff is really bad. But it tastes so good! Ugh!!!
  17. I'm nervous and excited!

  20. Hey! Ok I'm a huge fan. I know a lot of songs. Maybe not all but there were a couple songs I didn't know. So I guess they were new. Very mellow. The opening show was in Houston Friday night. Then Dallas was Saturday night. When they are in Houston they play a lot of songs and not a lot of long jam sessions. Then in Dallas they do fewer songs and lots of looooong jam sessions. I prefer more songs and less jamming. So I always prefer Houston. I'm going again in VA next month- which is my favorite place!!!
