"I'm eating Soup when I'm not even hungry." We must find the strength and discipline to use our new tool. The Band has taught me a lot about my old habit of 'sport eating'. Being able to recognize the actual process of when we eat unrelated to 'hunger' is a step towards our success. re: "I'm also at 4 weeks with NO binging." Congratulations. It takes many such steps in our journey. You can do it!!!

Howdy!

I started the process at 450 lbs on 11/17/10, 8 months later I am down 127.8 to 322.2 lbs It can be done... trust me! Yeah you will have good days and bad days but thats just life. Make sure that you do starting measurements ofyour body. That way when the scale doesnt move but you know your body is changing you can see the measurements. I didnt measure and I wish that I had.

I'm in chat a lot since I am a teacher who has the summer off.

Just under 200 lbs to lose when I started. 412 lbs in April 2010. I arrived in Twoderville last week at 299. Now at 298. The final goal doesn't seem so far away.

i did have a few months at 306 lbs. Then I changed my diet and began a new exercise routine and it just started falling away again.

I bought an XL men's shirt at Kohls and it fits. Now I just have to face this coach airplane seat in 2 weeks and I am very scared.
