I want to set good examples for my children and I need this behavior modification. I'm tired of feeling so sluggish. So, I'm ready to get the show on the road. Have bout 60 to 70# to loose. Sister, we can do this!!!!!!! Keep in touch. Rosie

Hey,

Ya i know what you mean... i have about 100 to lose but i know that we can do it!!! Actually what started this all is that my husband and i decided that we want to start trying to have a baby and so i went to my gyno and she told me that for me to have a healthy pregnancy(also easier to get pregnant) i have to lose some weight... so then i started to diet and that wasnt the problem ...the problem was that i felt so hungry all the time. i would eat chicken breast w/ veggies and 2 hrs later i felt like i hadnt ate all day!! i knew i had to look at other options. So my new plan is to lose my weight and then start trying to concieve. keep in touch!

Ooh, I pray for your success!!!!! There is nothing like being a mother. That is awesome that you are making this committment now. Your husband seems supportive. With him by your side, you can woop the world. My husband is my biggest cheerleader!! I just can't believe that I have let myself get this heavy. Thank God for the lap band. I am going to give this my all. I keep focusing on when I was 150#'s ( while back) I know that I can be that size again. When I went to an info class, there were people in there that had the wrong attitued. They were asking questions like, "how much does it cost to take one out?" I was thinking... I'm not worried bout that unless I had too. This is a life time committment!!!!!!!! Lets take one day at a time. Hey were are you going to have yours done? Mine, in Waxahachie. I live in Ellis county. Have a good night, Rosie
