Hey Misty, Congrats. You have done well. And you are totally right, the band is a tool. I think I forgot how to use it for this past 3 months. Havent lost a lb in the 3 months. So I have to go back to step 1. I have lost the 68lbs also without excersice, but started to do so this week. It has helped but I do need a fill and get back to basics. Thanks for the post, its help me realize what I need to do.
