That was me in dec 12 and me 2 months later

That was my 6 month pic was 255 in the before pic and 195 in the after. I've lost 10 lbs this month but don't have pics yet. You can do it. I am finally learning to listen to my band and only eat if I am actually hungry. It's been a very successful month because of it.

Was banded 12/21: starting weight 298 today weighing in at 214. Lost 20 lbs preop. Lost 64 after surgery. You can do it!

I started at 259, my goal was 254, and I reached 253! Woot!

You look fantastic! Keep up the good work.

You girls are BAD! I like it!

I am checking in at 253! I beat my goal of 254 a week early. Can't wait to see what next week holds! Good luck everybody.

I am in my plateau right now. I have only been banded for 2 months. I did really well the 1st month with a 27 lb lost, and in the last month have only lost 1 lb. However, I am trying not to feel to discouraged. I know everybody is going to hit a plateau at sometime, and probably more than once on their weight loss journey. I just look at it as being part of the deal.

We have all been there. I am still there!! My surgery was Jan. 23rd and I did really well. In the first month I lost 27 lbs and was stuck there for almost a month. Then last week I lost 1lb and am now at 28lbs. I have tried really hard not to be frustrated and know that this is all part of it. However, my clothes are totally hanging on me, especially my pants. I need some new clothes but would like to wait a little longer and see if I can lose 10 more lbs. before I go shopping. We will see. Just remember when you are feeling frustrated or confused by what your body is doing - get on this site and share it. This is an amazing site with lots of good people with good information.
Be Blessed!

Sometimes I have to remind myself when I am eating that whatever I am eating is not the last time I will get to eat that food. Does that make sense? What I mean is if there is a bowl of M&M's at work and I take 10. Instead of going back later and grabbing more I try to say to myself to stop because it won't be the last time I get to have M&M's, they will be there again another time so don't pig out on them, save it for the next time. I hope that sounds the way I mean. Like CG said, be smart with your choices.

Hi everyone! I'm having surgery on January 10th and created a group in the groups section "January 2012 bandsters". Would love to get some discussions, support going.
