almost to goal
Mar 21, 2008
I decided my goal should be 145 lbs. I don't know
if I will ever get there. I am still a slow loser.
It's sure better than gaining though. I am at
152 now. I lost 3 lbs but it took me a couple of
months to drop again. I have lost 63 lbs.
There are people who tell me that I look great and
that I really don't need to lose anymore. My trainer
told me I have about 10 lbs of muscle, so that made
me feel better.
I love the band, and how much help it is for me.
I think with the help of the band, I can get to my
goal eventually, even if it takes a little longer than
anyone else. Everyone says the last 10 is the
hardest to lose.
I wish chocolate got stuck and the band wouldn't let me eat it. I know it's my biggest downfall.
No matter what, life is so much better as a bandster!

Life is so much easier with the band!

I wish I had gotten the band sooner. I can't believe it took me so long to find out that this was something I could have. It's so nice to run into people who haven't seen me for a long time.
I wish that weight loss wasn't as slow as it is sometimes, but I know I am headed in the right direction.
It's really great not being hungry anymore and looking at foods differently that used to be such a temptation.
I just wish I knew how much more I wanted to lose. I am still not happy with the way I look in pictures. I want to be a lot thinner, but again, if I were younger, I wouldn't have to worry about how much older I look now that my fat isn't covering up the wrinkles.

Finally seeing results!

Well, I see that I haven't made it back here in a long time.
Things changed dramatically for me by continuing to get fills. I now love my band. I have lost almost
50 lbs. Tonight I was offered chocolate cake. It looked so good, and I have followed all the rules for such a long time. I took 2 bites and that was all I wanted. I looked at it and thought if I eat another bite, I will vomit. My band is finally working!
It's been so nice to buy new clothes and have people noticing that I have lost weight. I wore clothes that were too big for me for awhile, but there have been so many good clearance sales lately, that I finally broke down and bought some clothes that fit. That's when I started having people telling me on a daily basis that I have lost a lot of weight.
I really don't know how much more I want to lose.
I am starting to have a turkey neck, and I am afraid
if I lose much more than 10 lbs, it will show a lot more.
Anyway, if anyone is reading this and is keep getting
your fills! It makes all the difference in the world!

This is ridiculous

Why am I the only person banded that isn't losing? I am going in to see Robin next week and I hope she has some answers for me. I didn't take out a 2nd mortgage on my house to only lose 22 lbs. I am doing everything
that I am supposed to do and the scale never moves.
Why does my body refuse to drop any pounds?

still stalled

I am still very discouraged. Since I last posted over a month ago, I am not down much at all. Maybe a pound at the most, and that was not the
success I had hoped for. Why is this so hard and why do I see so many other people losing like crazy? This sucks!

weight loss stalled

I am really discouraged that I have been at 22 lbs lost for over a month. I have only lost 2 lbs since I moved from liquids to food. If I don't lose anything this week, I am going to go back on liquids for another week and see if that does anything. It's very discouraging to follow all the rules and not see any movement in the weight loss!
2 1/2 weeks now

I am really happy and excited to have started to lose weight.
I worry that I will stop losing weight after I am able to go back to eating
again, but I plan to follow all the rules. I really want to be able to
shop in the ladies department and not the plus sized one! I have already lost 13 lbs and that is so exciting to me!
