My cousin had this done and had nothing but issues. The band ate into his stomach and caused a horrible infection that caused him to be hospitalized for a couple of weeks and have the band removed. Did he lose weight? Yep. Was it worth it? Definitely not.

Congrats on the NSV!! Your dress (and you!) is beautiful! My taste exactly...simple...elegant.

Good on you!! Keep up the good work! I don't have asthma issues but I do have breathing issues when exercising so I know how tough it can be. You're doing great!

Such an inspiration!

So proud of you, man!! You look fantastic! Your face looks clearer and healthier as well! Keep it up. I know you're daughter has learned a valuable lesson here!

So far I'm liking mine but it doesn't seem to pick up my weight lifting sessions at all. I get a 4 minute moderate exercise for a 40 minute workout session..which makes me wonder if the calories are accurate. Yes, I get a sweat on when lifting, so I know it's not from lack of exertion!

I think it may be different for men than women. I have about a 6-7 inch difference. My husband on the other hand is probably similar to you.

Simply Having A Wonderful Christmas Time...Beatles...makes me cringe just thinking about it.

I don't necessarily want to get back to where we were years ago, but I think it's a good idea to let him know how much I love him..sure...I'm game!

I can't do things in "moderation". I've tried to eat one cookie but it always leads to more. I know this about myself and do my best to stay away from it. This year, I'm only going to my Mother-in-Law's for Thanksgiving and I have no problem telling her no! Otherwise, I'm surrounded by 5-10 desserts (I kid you not), dips,…

Sorry...I've don't think I've even heard of that one!

White Christmas, Holiday Inn, and Polar Express!

You are a bad *kitten*! Looking great, girly. Keep it up!

You got this! Just remember on race day, start slower than you want to go. A lot of times we get excited and start off too strong then lose it by the end. No one would say anything if you walked off the start line. Everyone does things differently. You can also get there early and do a few laps (around the parking lot) to…

Amazing work! Love the family photos.

Fantastic work! You look amazing!

Well, you flat out said you don't like pop so what about the diet Dr. Pepper are you craving? Are you craving the sweetness? Or just something different from water (which is what it sounds like). There are worse things you could drink that a diet soda! Personally, I don't drink them because I know if I drink one I'll start…

It's possible you're allergic to honey. Try some local honey in a small spot and see if you break out again. If so, I'd steer clear of honey and maybe use yogurt!

I would imagine if someone doesn't want to use sugar they may be able to substitute sea salt. Both would make good scrubbing agents! However, the salt may be a little drying.

If you were drinking diet to begin with, you're not cutting any calories. You're definitely healthier in that you're not consuming the chemicals, but if you're not creating a calorie deficit you won't lose weight.

Outstanding work!

Happy Birthday! I don't love running, but it has helped me lose 60lbs along with weight training. Keep on truckin' girly!

I have a Garmin 160 that I love for the HRM and for distance (needs foot pod) and a Garmin 610. The 610 has done some really wonky things with the screen (freezing, going blank) and it's a little much for what I use it for. Too many extras I don't utilize. I had the motorola Motoactv and loved it, for the most part. I took…

agreed!

Good for you for your weight loss!! 60lbs is outstanding. As far as the two jerks...I know it hurts but they don't matter. They don't understand your struggles and your achievements. Obviously, they don't seem like the type of people who would care to hear them either. I'm so sorry you had to hear that and I'm even sorry…

Texans and Rams!

Awesome! "Me and My Love"...love it!

I don't see any way to share recipes from one diary to another. If you enter the recipe as public, then you can search for it on the other phone to add but if it's not public/published (whatever they call it on here!) then it's only going to show on your phone. Hopefully I'm wrong and someone will tell you how to share…

Absolutely gorgeous and strong!

I had just finished a really long day at school (I was a teacher and One Act Play Coach) and was ready to go home. I was walking to the parking lot when I was stopped by one of the football coaches who said "You have the black Explorer? You got a flat tire" and he kept walking. Well, I know how to chang a flat (Dad taught…
