I have been overweight all my life. In the past year I noticed I could no longer bend over and tie my shoes, couldn't go on hikes with my friends and was very uncomfortable in public seats. My daughter and 2 friends had lap band and have all done well. So, I thought why not me. I've been on many diets but they never lasted and over the years my weight just kept going up and up. I know I will never be thin, thats not me, but I do want to be active, not have to squeeze into airplane, stadium, and movie seats. I don't want to exceed the weight limit on my husbands motorcycle and most of all I want to be able to get in and out of a kayak next summer.
