Hello,

I am new to the group, but 3 yrs out since my band. I have been in a plateau for about 1 1/2 of them. I lost about 30 and I go back and forth with 6 pounds.

I can give ya'll tons of excuses, but here is my story. I have 3 boys (14 1/2, 12 1/2, and 9 1/2)-- sporting very often, and my hubby. I work full time and am back in school (online working on my second masters). Anyway, I don't eat right (try to eat safe and yummy) and I have not been exercising. Needless to say, I need a support group to help me get back on track. I want to loose a minimum of 30 more pounds.

Please, I welcome conversation from those in similar situation or just those that can relate. Need idea's for different foods etc.

I look forward to getting to know some of you and helping each other out.

Ok, I was banded on July 21st of this year and I suck. I have only lost 7 lbs. Mostly because I have been able to eat anything and everything that I was able to eat before and have not changed any of my eating habits. Remember, I am not good at dieting, that is why I had this thing put in my body!!! I have had 2 fills now, the first one was 3 cc's and the second one was 1.5 cc's. Still no restriction. Here is the good part, I started working out on Sunday August 28th and have been kickin butt!! I have done at least 25 minutes of Turbo Jam everyday since. I figure why pay 11,500 out of pocket to be the same person as I was before. I just joined myfitnesspal.com and have been logging my food which is helping a ton. I need support and some buddies to chat with though. If you are on myfitnesspal.com my user name is jersgirl060606. Please look me up and let's lend some support to one another =-) I know eventually I will have the restriction I need to get through the food issues. I am starving all the time and am looking forward to the day that my band will assist me in my weight loss journey. In the meantime, I will continue working out at least 6 days per week.
