  11. It took me 6 months to lose 20 lbs . But I had alot of setbacks and stress in that period . The dr said he was surprized I didn't gain . Anyway I'm back on track and I lost 7 12 lbs in two weeks . I cant wait until I get banded
  12. my Dr. wanted me to lose 5% also . It took me awhile but I did it . I was on a 1200 cal diet and I walked for about half hour four to six times a week . sometimes I would have a diet shake in the morning one for lunch and I would eat dinner
  13. It's very fustrating . I almost gave up at least a dozen times while on my six months of supervised dieting. but I made it . 20 lbs lighter .
