I have been away from LBT for about three months, and I am back now.....to stay. I have had my ups and downs in the last three months. One thing is that the job I had...was eliminated, so they had to give me my previous job....which requires me to be on the road a lot, and by the time I get home I am tried and just want to go to bed. I was banded on 4 February 2008, so I am coming up on my band-versary. And I need support!!!

I agree with you Fenton.....at the beginning I was losing weight like crazy, but it has slowed down a little, but I am determine to keep working at it. We have lost almost the same amount of weight.

Don't worry about the scales....you need to focus on NSV (none scale victories) for example loose clothing....I have went from a size 50-52 and is currently wearing 40-42, but I still want to lose more weight. Be encouraged!

It seems like the last little bit is harder to come off, but I am going to keep on it.

I agree with everyone....the main thing is to walk, walk, walk, and even when you don't feel like it walk!
