jeani81 93 Posted September 24, 2012 Today marks 4 months for me with a weight loss of 66lbs and a total of 28 1/2 inches off my body so far. I've went from a snug 24 to an 18. Although my weight loss has slowed I'm still grateful for every pound I've lost. Yesterday was a non weight goal I met also I was able to get on my husband Harley with him and ride without the issues of being smushed against him and my butt hurting after only a short ride 3 Maddysgram, Bubie1916 and kah1213 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jeani81 93 Posted September 25, 2012 The only advice is to follow Protein first and stick to 1 cup or less of food. Don't cheat yourself by eating the same foods that got us in this shape to begin with. I read a lot of I eat what I use to just smaller portions that to me is cheating yourself out of working with your band learn to eat healthier and of course exercise as much as you can. I've only had one fill and have to wait until half way through October for my second. Don't ever give up and take it one day at a time 1 LiveStrong41 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jeani81 93 Posted September 26, 2012 Walk that is all that helped me. Gas x didn't do anything Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
