Ok, this is my first time posting a message. i find many of your postings encouraging (pls continue). I (probably like many) felt i didn't need to join a club (such as this one) BUT I proven myself wrong. i had my band done May 31, 07...i've only lost (i'm guessing cause my scale broke) maybe 25-26 lbs. i need help. Any suggestion? Not exercising does not help either.
