    marymcd54 got a reaction from A New New Dawn in W/OUT THE LAPBAND WHO'S LOST 100 pounds   
    I lost 107 pounds back in 1998 doing Weight Watchers and kept it off about 4 years.
    It took me 14 months, I wrote everything down, weighed and measured everything. I did not stray from the points I was to eat.
    Even before & after I would lose anywhere between 25-75 pounds just to regain it. I am a lifetime member. "lifetime" is key, even with the band I am Lifetime to watch every thing I eat, the band reminds me of this now.
    I am down 91 pounds(17 months out) and this experience is totally different. I love my band and wish I would have done this when they first came out!

    marymcd54 got a reaction from dee257 in Will This Time Be Different?   
    You will be fine if you remember all of the above notes! I am 58 and I too have lost before, and gained back many times over my years.
    I plan on doing what I am doing now and keep doing it, it is a lifestyle change along with a diet.
    And hell, if this band of mine acts up I would do another surgery if I had to! (hoping my band is with me till death do we part) I am never giving up, I like the way I feel 91 pounds down and working my next 25 pounds!
