XP-Today is...

:-(( BIG HUGS, I am really sorry to hear this :((

As you know, the band doesn't even do that unless you have restriction and if you've had my experience, restriction for me just means....constantly getting stuck and sick from eating healthy stuff while all the bad stuff goes down easy! I still don't regret my decision because it helps to be a mental reminder but thats about it... You look great! Hang in there and find your motivation!

Thanks.

Thanks for trying to moderate though!
