Do you count your calories?

How much exercise do you do?

Can you tell me what has been the hardest thing for you to deal with and how you have overcome it?

Tina I am so happy for you. You found the Band 50 years sooner than I did and we both are doing very well.

Some advice form the good habits now at a very young age you know what the are don't you?

Make exercise a habit.

Eat only high quality food.

And so on

Live a happy health life food does not have to rule us.

Good Luck
