I live in Monmouth County - central NJ by the beach. Wow Stevie 4'10 you are tiny!!!!!!!!!! I am 5'4. I am big chested also but since losing 30 lbs - I have lost 6 inches off my chest. This makes me very happy - I hate having big breasts like you I always need a larger shirt. I must say this is hard work. Before I was banded I thought this was the "easy" way to lose weight - now I realize it is just another tool. Albeit a great tool but a tool all the mental stuff is hard. -

Count me in too. My first fill is Monday the 5th. I am going to shoot for 15. -
Honestly I still am struggling - after years of unhealthy eating it is hard not to slop into my old habits. I also was eating less than 800 calories per day and gaining I stayed the same for 10 days. Then this morning I stepped on the scale and was down 2 lbs. God I needed that. I go for my fill on Monday. I have to remember the band did not take away all my emotional bad eating habits. It is hard to stay strong when the scale is going the wrong way. Do you have a fill yet? People told me not to weigh myself daily but I couldn't stop myself. When the number was higher after I had been good I was like WTF!!!! I might as well eat. I try daily to say I am worth the struggle - its hard. Today was a boost I feel remotivated. You WILL lose weight - you are working hard - you deserve to feel good about your body - you are worth it. and so am I. Keep in touch - maybe we can work through this struggle together. By the way - what were you doing up at 4am??????????????
