I have struggled with weight loss for so long it is hard to remember when I didn't. I was getting very discouraged by my losing and gaining and losing way of life. It finally dawn on me, that even though I haven't lost as much as I have wanted to in the right places, I have still gone from a size 56 dd to a size 46 dd and that is a great accomplishment. Thanks for all the help and encouragement this site gives.

Congratulations, You make me feel like it is possible to win at this

What an awesome list

I am 61 and I had the lapband done two years ago. The lapband works for us as long as we work with the lap band. It is like any other diet, we need to do what is suggested to us.

I have Tricare Prime and it worked pretty smoothly. Once the paper work was turned in, it was approved pretty quickly. Good luck with your Surgery. :smile:

I still am looking. Sent you an email. Can't wat to hear from you.

I have always heard that walking is the best exercise. I walk as often as I can. It also is the cheapest to start with as you can do it anywwhere without extra equipment. After I lost 70 pounds, I did get the Wii fit and I now have the Wii fit plus and I love them both. I can't do a lot of the activities on them, but what I can do is a lot of fun and is good for you. Remember, as long as you move you are doing better than not moving. Try walking a little farther or a little longer each time.

I joined Curves last week and have been there twice so far. I think it is an interesting program and I think it will work for me. For one thing, it is planned activity, I don't have to wonder what I am to do as I do in the gym. I paid for a two year membership at the gym and went maybe 10 times as I was confused on what to do. I hope that this works for me as my walking just isn't cutting it by itself anymore. Keep us informed on how you do with Curves and I will do the same. Another thing about Curves is that I can try it for a month without a contract to see if I like it before I join.

Thanks for the article on Kai. It was an emotional read.

Missed my goal by 2.8 pounds. What is the next challange?

Although I agree that Ron should of been sent home a long time ago, if I had been a contestant this week, I would of voted off Nicole too. She is a threat and Ron isn't.

Because a lady I trained with two years ago didn't recognize me. Thank God for all the people at work that comment on my weight loss.

81 pounds in three months is nothing to sneeze at. Give your body time to recoop and you will continue to do well. It takes time and a lot of work on our part so don't give up yet.

6 pounds to goal. I hope I can do it.

I love nsv's. They are more helpful than the sv's. I am enjoying a visit with my sister this week and am enjoying showing her the sites of Florida, some of which I haven't seen yet due to lack of energy. I can keep up with her now and it is her saying, I am ready to go back home now. Thank you everyone for posting your nsv's. They really inspire me.
