I gained 15 lbs over the summer and I felt like I should qualify for the Lap Band surgery... the good news is I wasn't even close to qualifying! Yaaay, right????? Doctor said start making small changes so 2 days ago I started wearing my pedometer again and i'm not taking off my shoes until I've reached a minimum of 10,000 steps. Today a friend at work told me about this site so here I am, day 1 of logging my food and excercise. I'm okay with baby steps because at least they are steps in the right direction!

    great decision... save the money from Lap Band... because you are going to need it for shopping once you reach your desired goal soon... add me if you'd like and let me know if I can be of any help... good luck and take care

    My good friend almost died from the lap band, so thank goodness you did not qualify. You can do it with exercise and eating right. Welcome!
