I'm so sorry for your family's loss! Please don't let this be an excuse to not take care of yourself! My dad died a year ago and then 6 months later my 24 year old niece died unexpectedly. I went into a deep depression! I gained 40 pounds, which only made me even more depressed! Allow yourself to grieve, but remember that you don't have to sabotage yourself to grieve! I know it's hard, but cherish the time you spent with her and celebrate her life! Again, I am so sorry!

It's so funny I ran across this. I was just telling my husband about how much weight she lost. We were wondering how she did it! Do you know the date of the show she was on?

I'm personally happy these people exsist! This makes it easier for me to sneak in and out of a store with my sweatpants on and no makeup without anyone noticing! LOL

I am also a slow loser. I am out over 2 years. Still not quite there. No hanging skin is definately the pay-off. So slow has its benefits also. Good Luck.

Hi...I am 2yrs out with my band and have still not reached my goal. Do not get disappointed and definately do not compare yourself to others, it can get discouraging. Some just lose it slower, but thats okay we eventually get there. There were times that I would go several months without a loss or just keep gaining and losing the same 5lbs. Are you working out? As for the amount that your able to eat. I have always been able to eat more than "the normal". The doctor still doesn't believe that I am able to eat steak and bread. Some people can't. And I am almost at my full 4cc maximum. I have never had that "sweet spot" that everyone talks about. But something must be working for me because I have seen numbers on the scale I haven't seen in a long time. Don't get discouraged, just keep chugging along. Remember, it doesn't matter how fast you get there as long as you eventually arrive, and you are definately pointed in the right direction. Good Luck and just stick with it.
