Congratulations on the weight loss.

84 lbs in 4 months is a lot of weight lost - very quickly.

I don't know how you did it (well you obviously didn't eat) but it

couldn't be very healthy. I hope you didn't starve yourself to get to

your goal so quickly. Please keep us posted and let us know how well

you maintain your weight.

I could go into a long lecture about how starving yourself does not

teach you how to use the band blah blah blah but I know you already

know all that stuff.

You are my latest heroine....keep up the good work. I am trying to lose a total 80 lbs by Oct 21st when I go to Israel for a couple of weeks.

You are a great inspiration.

No, I didn't starve myself. I followed the diet plan that I was

given and worked out over an hour everyday, didn't cheat on foods

that would go against me losing, ate high protein foods-NO JUNK FOOD-

BREADS,RICE or PASTA. ALSO NO SWEETS of any kind and no pop or high

cal. drinks. I ate somewhere around a 1000 or so cals a day, took my

multivitamin. Not everyone's body is the same. I worked VERY hard in

reaching my goals and did it the right way-with Dr. A's help and my

new Dr. here on the East Coast. I just had a body compo test done,

along with blood work and everything is great.. Even had an unfill

to slow down the weight loss..

I also run, in 4 months I've gone through 3 pairs of running shoes-I

use to run in high school, and had forgotten how much fun it was..

I think if you put your mind to ANYTHING, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.

Donna, CONGRATULATIONS!!! You have done a great job of following the plan and exercising!! I have been following your progress and I am so very impressed!! Really!! You have truly worked on changing more than your eating and it shows!!! Running is the best calorie/fat burning exercise of all, and will keep you heart-healthy for many years to come!!! The men in your life are lucky to have such a strong, dedicated, beautiful (and thin) mother/wife. What a great model you are for them and all of us bandsters!!!! Don't let anyone tell you different!! You are an inspiration to many of us!! Life is good :)

Enjoy and celebrate your success!!!!! Congratulations again!!

Dana
