accomplished and the many things to come. Life within itself isn't easy and from day to day we must learn to thank God for all of our many blessings. There were so many times I wanted to have a pity party about all of my life woos, but there is someone somewhere going through a lot worst issues than I could ever imagine. My faith in God allows me to know he will never put more on us than...

I do agree with you that it appears that you have a lot of underlined issues going on in your life. I have learned that having this band does not make my life issues or pains go away, but it makes things a lot less stressful when I look into my mirror and ?yes I can and yes I have? stares me in the face.
Learn to give yourself as much credit as possible for all the good things you have a...

You may want to change your workouts system. Don't do the same things all of the time. I use something called muscle confusion. I don't allow my body to get use to the same routine because the body remembers what it's accustomed to doing and then you hit workout plateau! I have learned it’s the same thing with foods as well. I change up every single day what I eat and the calorie intake. I eat more or less daily to keep my body off balance. It sounds crazy but it has worked wonders for me. I was banded 7 months now and as of this morning 60 pounds down. My husband purchased these P90X DVDs, and his entire program is build around muscle confusion. You have done a wonderful job and you look great.

Also, you have some restriction from your first fill and some people state they feel no restrict from their very first fill. Thank God I did not have that problem with my 1st fill. I really the total opposite with fill. I have to be very conservative with my fills because I have had 2 unfills done due to being over restricted and you really don’t want that to happen. Honey, you are kic...

Dee, that is true what your Doc said about bonus weight but you already have the main keys you need to be successful. You are working out like a "crazy woman" and watching what you eat. Most people spend the first couple of months wasting valuable time not working out, but you are doing just that. Those are the main keys to losing that fat and gaining muscle. Girl you are going to ...

Honey, be kind to yourself because change first starts within your mind and the thought process your develop creates your future actions. You are on your way!

Always remember every single person's body does not respond the same way with this band. Don't weigh yourself so often because it can be discouraging. Pay more attention to the inches lost and not the numbers on your scale. You should try to drink lots of water, get your protein in, and keep moving as much as possible. You can get a work out in alot of different ways so just keep it moving and don't stress out. That alone is very harsh on the body. Good luck.

You go girl! you rock and yes, you are going very sassy and sexy in these new pic! Congrats on all of your hard work. It does feel so good to be able to look at how far we have come. -
You are a beautiful person who knows there is a problem and you are making every effort to change your situation. Change does not happen over night so don't be so hard on yourself. It's going to take time to reach your goal(s), but stay focused on the things you want to change. Seven months ago I was 325 pounds and today thank God I am 268 lighter. I have never felt so good in a very long-long time. Most of all of my clothes are too big and I need to buy some more, but that small victory is a blessing that I have prayed for many years. Always remember slow and steady wins the race! You are doing it just believe in yourself!

I like the Whey protein shakes for advance muscle building. My favorite is chocolate and it goes really well with the plain Greek yogurt.

I love your blog and you rock. Honey- you look wonderful. I do so love this band. It keeps me in check when I don't have the strenght to do it on my own. My life has become so much sweetier. -
I started juicing a couple of years ago but I stopped, but I've learned not to drink anything that doesn’t taste good to me. My favorite combinations are grapefruits/oranges/carrots and apples for sweetness. The juicing really keeps your digestive system regulated. (smile)! I went this past Thursday for another fill & (baby) I am thinking I hit my sweet spot. I feel full w...
