Yes they exercise 6-8 hours a day with a full medical team standing by, but I would have loved the chance to change my life that way. Completely away from all distractions. <br /><br />Could I have done it on my own - probably not, but I do think they learn a lot while they are they - from nutrition and workout tips to learning what they really can do. Just like the band they have to choose what they want to do when they get home. It isn't as easy and it needs a lot of hard work either way in my mind. <br /><br />I personally think that some of them are more in it for the money than the health benefits. If that is their motivation and the motivation leaves suddenly then you have problems. However, I have seen several of them after and they have maintained the loss. One of them lives nearby (and he actually failed at the bypass). He almost lost his job because he was gone for so long so money wasn't the biggest motivator. Last I saw he was still doing great.TJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18274989438466842161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1100636923484642954.post-32664583493155938172010-02-15T19:58:32.179-05:002010-02-15T19:58:32.179-05:00Fantastic loss sandy...I always knew you would go ...Fantastic loss sandy...I always knew you would go well with the band. BL is on here is Oz atm and they have made some great changes like focusing more on food and less on making them eat things like eggs for a week.

No one can exercise that much as still have time for work, family, friends, etc. <br /><br />One of the reasons I decided to get banded was the statistic that 90 - 95% of people who lose weight through diet and exercise alone regain it within 1 - 5 years.<br /><br />I'm getting off the see-saw!!workinprogresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02085835580517013807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1100636923484642954.post-595476642942001412010-02-15T12:11:26.102-05:002010-02-15T12:11:26.102-05:00Well, of course I mean "now" separated f...Well, of course I mean "now" separated from their husbands!Grizzlyriderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16719427085865877546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1100636923484642954.post-13686914552990391192010-02-15T12:10:11.122-05:002010-02-15T12:10:11.122-05:00I love watching BTL also but have noticed that the...I love watching BTL also but have noticed that the trainers have become more and more abusive every season. I suppose they think the audience wants more drama. I really just love to see people lose weight. Those impromptu little mental insights they show are stupid and unbelievable. I'd never tell Jillian a darn thing. Anyway, I do watch the show (obsessively) but do not envy the contestants in any way. The article was very interesting, I feel bad both girls are not separated from their husbands, I do remember them both. Ah, nothing is certain in life but change!Grizzlyriderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16719427085865877546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1100636923484642954.post-91117857270304738812010-02-15T12:08:41.457-05:002010-02-15T12:08:41.457-05:00Hey Sandy..

I know the show is about diet and exercise but why can't people who have been banded be included.. maybe a spin off the show.. The Tightest Band (ha).<br />Soup recipe sounds delicious... <br />AND HORRAY FOR CANADA.. loved the men's mogul although I have sympathetic pain in my knees as I watch them go down the hill.<br /><br />Be well.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10379831210874549148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1100636923484642954.post-53027354024820407302010-02-15T11:02:25.601-05:002010-02-15T11:02:25.601-05:00GREAT WL, Congrats!!!

Good article...I'm addicted to watching TBL, but I also know most of them gain a lot of the weight back...I think it sets up that stereotype that fat people are just lazy and when they start working out the WL will just drop like crazy...who can work out 10-12 hours a day and eat lik e bird?Lap Band Groupiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14740522137574702726noreply@blogger.com
