If I'm not mistaken, I think it was in one of your responses that you indicated you basically followed the Weight Watchers program to achieve your goal. Although I have both succeeded and failed several times on the program it has taught me a number of invaluable eating and COOKING habits. Was it the Core or the Flex plan that you followed? And if it was the Flex plan, was the daily points allowance? Did you reward yourself with extra exercise points? I'm assuming that you didn't try the additional weekly 35 points (that was always my down fall on the program).
Your response is greatly appreciated, and congratulations once again...

Hey Bella
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you but I just returned from a short vacation meeting my July 07 band gang..
I guess I did core plan - I learned WW while they still did exchanges - but basically - it was meat 1st then veggie (and if still hungry extra veggies) and limited starches - and no I didn't really allow extra for my exercise - I wanted the weight off - I got it off pretty fast and now I will have to learn how to maintain... This I will do by adding to my diet..
I feel that the band is the tool to help me use all the things I learned in WW into pratice..
I just can't do high protein - I have to have starches - I just limited them just like in WW -
I love my new found engery - I did this for health reasons - but would be lying if I said I wasn't enjoying the new look..
Good Luck in your journey...
