OMG , have you had the tv on in the last 4 days.. we are being bombarded with commercials showing us how we are supposed to look.. "the fast and effective way to lose weight fast" these bastards make billions of dollars every year off of people just like us who for some reason turn to food for comfort. they prey on us like a lion preys on a wilderbeast. i for one am sick of it... and then in a couple weeks the gym memberships commercials and fitness equiptment commercials will go away and will be replaced with restaurants and fast food commercials driving us insane. Thank god i was banded in late june.. my life has almost completely turned around.. i still have lots of issues to work through emotionally but i am getting there. Here is a warning for all you newly banded.. you are going to feel sexy and wonderful as the weight comes off. that feeling is like a crack addiction you are going to want it more and more.. do not let it consume you. i am down 104lbs and still going i will stop at 200lbs.. it is much slower weight loss now.. but thats ok.. i got into a 36 jean on friday and it was a little loose so even though the scale doesnt seem to budge much.. apparently the inches are still going away.. i have gone from a 4xl shirt to a 2x t shirt that i can actually put in the dryer.. anyway turn off the tv... dont by into any of the bullshit they show and just walk , bike and in general get off your bottom.. and i promise it will happen for you... stay strong

Papa, I am so proud of you man.. you are doing it .. you never give up and keep fighting man.. we are doing this my friend.. we are getting our lives back.. just six short months ago.. we were killing oursleves.. and now we are taking back what we were throwing away.. Man you are kicking butt... keep it up...

holy crap... yall need to find something else to do....lol... but i do have one for ya.. it is illegal in virginia to have those dog balls trailer hitch ornaments.. hanging from your truck.. it is considered obscene and offensive. Hope they never pull me over when im wearing my 70's flash back shorts on...lol
