You go girl! I lost nearly 80 lbs. by walking and using 3 lb. dumb bells. I simply followed the arms routine suggested by Denise Austin in her book 'Hit the Spot'. She hits every problem area of the body though. You can get it for 1.99 (used I think) at Denise Austin Books (Used, New, Out-of-Print) - Alibris It's only a paperback book, so buying new shouldn't be too difficult. After the first 30 lbs. or so, I was ready to upgrade to 5 lb. dumb bells, but didn't. It's best to slowly increase the weight of dumb bells until you reach about 10 lbs. (Or so I've heard!) Oh, and I was walking 5 days a week, and doing Austin's routine on 3 of those days. It worked really well!

Phentermine is great for me. My doc said that bandsters who take phentermine lose much better than those who don't. Apparently, the band doesn't stop all hunger and snacking. Phentermine helps with that.

What's the exercise challenge? How does it work?

I'm in Utah. Any mentors available here?

Warning about Utah Fill Center. It's only one doc, Dr. Derek Muse. He's okay, but he requires flouroscopy for an addition 100.00. So fills are actually 265.00. Insist on potential overfill because fill centers won't allow you to go back for free w/in 72 hours if you're underfilled.

Hi Cassie! Congrats on your weight loss! I expect to be 18/20 by March. I'm in Utah. Are your clothes still available? Thanks.

Does anyone know of good fill docs in Utah? Or even Vegas? The Fill Center doc requires flouroscopy and charges and additional 99.00 bucks for it.

Exercise, exercise, exercise. Especially with free weights and sit ups for your arms and tummy, where lots of excess weight lingers. Depending on your starting weight, you may need cosmetic surgery to sew up the excess despite exercise. I started at roughly 260 and exercise alone worked for me! Good luck!
