I had a body fat % done right before surgery and I was at 53% - not a good feeling knowing over 1/2 your body is pure fat - but I'm right there with ya sista! I've only lost 8lbs total since being banded so I'm a slow starter to boot! Hope to get the scale moving so I can get that body fat % down too - hand in there - your not alone!

k, got the one to work off of tickercentral - but liked the ones better off of tickerfactory - couldn't get that one to work and did the exact same thing - any other suggestions? it's the html one right?

Ok I made mine up and pasted the code into my signature - can't figure out how to do it and there arn't any instructions ???????????

How do you get the cute little weight scales that everyone has on their signatures? I WANT ONE! Too cute! Can't find them anywhere.

I am soo glad I'm not the only one. When I first started researching the band and read about slow losers I was so confident that it wouldn't be me - well now that's kicking my in my ass! I was self-pay banded and would do it again. The funny thing is that my food intake is drastically less than pre-band but still not any significant weight loss - that still boggles my mind! How can that be? Anyway - I was banded May 24th, 2005 - lost 8lbs within the first week or so. Gained 4lbs back before my 1st fill of 1cc on July 7. Lost 1lb after that fill and just had my 2nd fill of another 1cc on August 31st. I lost 2lbs in 2 days at 2cc because I was too tight so he took .5cc of that fill out and now I feel just like I did before my 2nd fill so probably not going to lose anymore until I get a little more back in. I'm thinking I need at least .3 put back in before I can start losing. Soooooooooooo in a little over 3 months it's been a struggle for my 8lb weight loss - I thought it would go faster but hope my next fill will get me going - God knows I felt the restriction at 2cc but that was too much - I wasn't able to get down solids at all - that's how I lost 2.5lbs in 2 days. Time willl tell
