Hi! I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Cindy. I am 42 years old. I have a 7 year old daughter and during the school year I have 20 little 4 year olds that become my kids. I am very excited that I will be banded on July 29 at Mt. Carmel in Columbus Ohio. I have enjoyed reading your posts and wish each and everyone of you the best of luck.:biggrin:

I have yet to be banded but have been working with a trainer on my cardio. Sometimes, you dont need to increase the time you are doing the cardio just switch what you are doing. For example, I do cardio for 20 minutes in a pattern where I am going forward for 2 minutes with the resistance at 6 and the incline at 7 and then I go backwards for a minute with the resistance still at 6 but the incline at 4. According to my trainer my body is always switching up so it doesn't have time to get "used to" the routine. Hope that helps!

I havent been banded yet but I been working really hard to lose weight before the procedure. I cant stand seeing myself in pictures but I let a trainer at my gym take some. She has taken 3 pictures each a month apart from the other and all I can say is a picture says a thousand words. Keep taking pictures and compare where you are from where you were. Enjoy those skinny clothes and throw out the big ones cause you aren't ever going back there!
