Now this was a nice post. If I can do it so can you. Yes, the weight goes off slowly but at least it is going off with your new tool. Good luck to you.

I have lost my weight very slowly and been jealous of the people who lost it so fast. I lost 60 (of 70 for normal BMI) in two years. I have been happy with that because I never dieted or exercised. I eat whatever I want and whatever the band will let me..I could never keep weight off with diets and exercise before so why would I now? I do focus on protein more now because the band makes me eat tiny meals so protein has to be in all of them or I would never get 60 gm a day! I LOVE may band and would even self pay all over again!!!
