  1. Sound like your doing everything perfect! Except....... that dirty word we don't like to hear or talk about, (exercise)!! I put it off and put it off till basically i was starving myself and still not seeing results. Finally my doctor had some tough talk with me and basically told me to not expect anything unless I start putting in the 30 mins. Well i finally did and after about the second week it starting coming off quite consistently. Now let me say, don't go work your butt off at the gym. That sounds great and all but its probably just going to make you sore, or make you get burnt out... You have the band now, you don't have to go burn off 600 calories to lose weight. Just some basic walking, biking, swimming, or whatever. The key is just be consistent and make it apart of your new life. It take me 50 minutes to drive to work in the morning so I try to think of it like this... If all they are asking me to do is 30 mins which is 20 mins less than the time it takes to get to work... its really not that bad. I can't urge you enough though be get in that 30 mins and keep at it. If you don't do it consistently you won't see any results... I know exercise might sound bad but i promise its the key to your success.
