Just to clarify

[Guest guest]

Hi all

I don't think Dr Talbot has told Maree she can't lose any more

weight. I think he has told her the band has done what it was

expected to do, and for her to continue on her downward journey it

will require exercise, food choices, etc.

I guess it's no different to two people attending Weight Watchers.

One follows the program, throws in an exercise regime and minimises

liquid cals. The other follows the food program but doesn't like to

exercise and although she follows the meal plans throws in a couple

of glasses of wine most evenings. (I'm not suggesting Maree does

this - not for one minute.) However, the two on the WW program will

have different results. No different with the band - it's capable

of achieving so much then the rest requires additional effort.

I don't believe she needs to prove the Doctor wrong. Quite the

opposite - take up the challenge and indeed prove that further

weight loss was possible.
