So far all is going good, I think I am adjusting to the hunger pangs. I am now including a solid lunch...lean cuisine meal. I chew, chew and it goes down with no problem.

I have found myself at the gym the last couple of days. I had been walking around the block, but now at the gym doing 1.5 to 2 miles. I feel so good, and happy.

My older children are my cheeleaders, and I cant say enough about my wonderful husband, Karl.

I am so lucky to have found the lap-band, a whole new lookout for a healthier lifestyle. I am hoping to see 215 by the 16th of Feb.:scared2:

Cute kids, and I'm sure it feels great to have some cheerleaders at home. Keep up the good work! -BG
