Lizalee 1 Posted February 9, 2008 Sue Magoo Wow! That's amazing! it's people like you that are keeping up my motivation through this eternal hoop-jumping process till I can get my band and then the rest of my journey after the band. You know, sometimes it seems like the Band might just be another marketing campaign like every weight loss program has "lose 5 pounds in 5 days if you follow this diet" followed by some skinny woman in a bikini. But when real people like you and the others who post here share your successes, it really helps! Loosing this much weight has never seemed so possible before. I was just sharing with my mother how it will be another month at least before my surgery, and she said "why not just diet?" Geez, mom, I've been trying that for 45 years!!! Thanks and good luck meeting your goal! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
