Great topic....my motivation is...my children ....my husband and I adopted 5 children ages from 8 to 13 all at home..one is severly handicapped...so I want to be around for a long time to always be able to care for my special lil boy and all my other children and grand children....plus Im loving being able to move again....and feel my lil ones arms wrap around me......

hello Courtney... This month is a year since I went for my first appt with my nutritionast .... All I can say is I cant believe how good I feel because of my health for one...how proud my family are for me and just how I always feel like moving now....at that first appt I was 257 and mind you Im only 5'1" soooo mighty round I was...also I was 53 and felt why even bother now...today Im 170 and smiling...walking and enjoying my children every day...and the compliments dont hurt either... I think the time from first appts to banding to meeting goal is so differant for everyone...but I know its all so worth it...I wish you luck on your journey...

Im sorry for you ....Maybe you can find a support group Im sure that would help you...and were all here for you when you need us....hugs

Glad your feeling motivated again...it always helps....

Thats so awsome....so glad for you....e all start some where.....YoU GO GET UM !

i was drinking water so easy befor banding...after banding i hated the taste of it unless i mixed propel with it..but just this week i have noticed im enjoying just water again..so i guess we just have to listen to our bodies !!!
