I'm Michigan but WAY North to Sturgis.I'll still be your friend if you'd like.

Not silly I didn't know either. Still don't.

Riley you're a riot:):)

My dau-in-law just had the lapband done in Jan 2011 and thus far has only lost like 30 lbs. Now I had the Ruin y done in 2000 and within 3 mos I had already lost like 70 lbs. She was off duty or 6 wks but if you'd ask me I'd say go with the Gastrc Bypass.Longer recovery but faster wt loss.I lost 150 lbs in 6 mos. God bless…

Get TasteofHome and Allrecipes if you love to cook.Thy send you the recipes on there EVERY day.

I agree with erica above. Some have come down so hard on me already bu I eat til I'm full whether I stay under OR go over.

Good job!

Oh hon,I have always told my 6 children that there are things in life you can NEVER take back. 1.WORDS 2.VIRGINITY I'm sorry your Mama says those things to you,but this program isn't about her,it's about you. this is your recovery. I think maybe it i jealousy also but my Mama was the same way. It hurts but forgive her for…

Egg salad with low sodium crackers or veggie tray with dip or a nice bowl of homemade soup.

Watch your sodium intake. That can pound on lbs quickly.

Put in your wt now and what you want to be and mfp will give you the proper calorie intake. God bless you.

Welcome aboard my friend. What a good choice you made to hop aboard. We're all here for you if and when you need us. God bless you as we travel together.

If you bake a chocolate cake-throw some in. Then frost it and add pecans on top. Add them to your cookie recipes. Add them on salads. You can add them to most anything you make. If you like sweet potatoes cook them,fry them in a little butter then top them with a small amount of brown sugar and pecans. They're so yummy.

Welcome!! Get you some good friends to help you along and you'll do great.

If she doesn't do a life change,and depend on pills,when she stops she WILL gain it all back plus some. Believe me I did. This is the perfect way to do it. Get good friends to spur you on and she will lose IF she changes her habits and eats healthy and counts her calories and such.

Going over in your protein and fibre isn't bad.

Not only up your calories but don't get so discouraged. Stress weighs heavy. Did you know stress can put lbs on? Try to just relax and see what happens. If you would show your diary maybe some of us could help.

Yes I do!!! Use any carrot cookie but instead of shortening or oils use applesauce. Instead of sugar use spl enda baking sugar. Don't put any salt in. Put raisins, dried cranberries or other dried fruit in for more sweetness. I have to bake like this for me and diabetics. They're pretty good. If you have no recipe,message…

I hear you and feel your pain. Maybe you should,for one day a week,drop your calories to 1200. That woyld shock your metabolism and cause it to jump start it. I did that and it worked. I lost 22# since Jan 3rd. I NEED to lose more but maybe b/c of the slowness with you and me,it will stay off longer and easier. If you find…

I mean "thanx" Wednesday.

Tanx Wednesday. I can't eat many bananas either. Not b/c I don't like them,but they don't digest like they should in me.

Yes take your measurements.You'll be surprised.
