I am 18 days away from my Bandiverssary. I cant believe it has been a year. It has gone so fast. Unbelievably fast.I feel so blessed. I love my band. Dont get me wrong I would be lying if I said that every day has been easy but there is no way I could have been where I am right now with out the band. I had tried every thing every diet you could think of in he world I have done. For a while they worked but only for a while. The band helps me to be the best I can be. It helps me to stop when the food is good and I want more just because it's good. It gives me the ability to say no or even yes to just "a little bit" I am down 85 pounds, 17 to my goal weight. Seriously doubt I will make it before my year but I look and feel better now than I have in years. I just cant complain. 85 pounds is nothing to be ashamed of. I thank God for my new lease on life and thank my wonderful supportive husband and family and even the supportive friends here who have helped me thru. God bless and hope all is well. Come on 17 pounds, get off of me LOL!!!!!!!:smile:

    Best wishes I have 3 pounds to go and they will not disappear. I need to zip my mouth better I think. I have been getting a little lazy and high caloric foods are creeping back into my mouth. Yikees, I just needed to say that. I have a little over a month until my one year bandversay too and I want these three pounds to be gone in the worst way. I need to step it up a little more in the exercise department as well. I need to play better with my band. Best wishes to you I am strugglin... imaluckydog

    Congrats on 85 pounds gone...I too, have lost 85 and have about 5 more to go to goal...I just had my 2nd bannaversary..

    Hey Im a lucky dog: I know how you feel, seems like I can't be good and lose this last 5 pounds! When I weighed 240 I NEVER ate desserts...just didn't temp me at all and NOW at 155 I crave sweets...I know that I could drop the last few pounds if I would just stay away from sugar! I have done better the past couple of days but really need to eat better.
