I was originally banded in Sept. 2008.

Metread, I got chills when I read your post. I cannot imagine how you felt when you put on a size 8. Just think, less than a year ago you were wearing a 24... 3 x bigger pant size than you are...

Thank you, looking forward to the day!

You gals that are 5'6" and 145ish.. and can wear a size 4? Holy smokes, I wish. When I was 145 lbs about 20 years ago, I didn't wear a size 4.. more like a size 8. Maybe because I have more junk in...

I won't miss ... sweating like a mule from just running the vacuum

I won't miss ... dreading summer parties because I feel like i have to...

I am really not sure how I would respond to someone that accused me of taking the "Easy way".

I might say.. you need to do a little research on the topic and then get back with me. I might even...

Some people don't spend time in thought before letting the words fall out of their mouth. I remember 24.5 years ago when I have my oldest son...via emergency c-section. I was in the recovery room,...

My Father's oncologist told our family... if you can't pronounce it, don't eat it. Our bodies are not made to digest/process fake food items. When we do eat items that are not natural, our bodies...
