 We'll 2day iz my 2month aniversary an I am down 40lbs and Loving my LULA the scale goes from 253-252 and has been stuck that way for about  2 weeks but I am not complaining I go for my 2nd fill 08/29/2008 and I am very excited b/c I have a mini goal of 237 by 9/8/2008 which means I have to loose 15lbs and I think I can do it... I have been watching what I eat and exercising daily but I don't have that same restriction I had after I first got my fill but I have been faking it till I get my next one .. I think I just need to change my routine up a lil bit in the gym for more variety and to see more pounds come off...  but other than that I am very HAPPY I have a great son and  great man that loves me and help me out day to day what more could I ask for....
