A side by side of my before and current. Anytime I feel like I haven't succeeded, I just look at these two pictures. Before - about 302 lbs and current -62 lbs.

I love that blog page! Keep up the good work! I am in an size 18 as well! Shera is on her job (that is the name of my band), but losingwgt is not doing too bad herself...I am loving life, and as my weight shrinks, my attitude is increasing!

Please be encouraged! It is not really about the band induced restriction...it is about Us learning to restrict ourselves, and that is difficult! It will get easier as we learn to discipline & restrict ourselves...oh what a TASK! Please be mindful that the band does not do the work, it is only a tool. If only I had realized before. I am doing much better...I am 230 from 298 pounds.

Wow....I am just walking 40 mins at breakfast and 40 mins at lunch. I tried to walk in the evening as well, but I have not elevated to that level YET! In the beginning, I thought the band would make me LOSE WEIGHT! Nothing happened! It was not magic! Nothing changed! The weight literally fell off once I got moving! Exercise and diet changes...that was the key. Imagine that! That is what doctors have told us all along! One of the biggest keys is learning to listen to your intincts...listen to the quiet still voice inside that tells you when to stop eating, and why you are eating. Bored, lonely, depressed, angry? These are ALL reasons to pass on the meal, and snack; and resolve the voice. Remember it was neglect that allowed the weight to creep uncontrolled. We shouldnt expect it to disappear overnight! Take your time and get to the root of the problem! Be encouraged! -
My first fill I believe was 6weeks after surgery. My band holds 10ccs and I have 8ccs currently. My bandiversary is 3/27/09.

Lol..lapband motivation speaker! I'll take that, I try to be as encouraging as possible, but I will get in where I fit in! Please let me know how the Zumba classes turn out they are offered here too! I will look into it for the spring!
-
Wow! What is your exercise program? Its been nine mths for me and I am down only 60 pounds. -
You go girl! I want to be like you when I have my bandiversary! -
Thank you for the kind compliment! You will do well! Just follow the plan, I learned the hard way, the band is NOT magic! I have to work at losing the weight! Today is a discouraging day, but I know tomorrow will be a different day...work it one day at a time! Keep in touch and good luck!

I have heard of Zumba, but I havent done too much research! Do something that you enjoy, and that you will maintain. I really dont like exercise, but I enjoy the results, and the attention is unbelievable! I am finally after three months looking forward to my daily walks...it is my time to do something for myself! Listen to everything that your doctor says, and take your time. We slowly let the weight add up, enjoy the journey as the weight decreases. Please address the emotional issues that aided in the weight gain...we tend to forget that there are some emotional behind the scenes unresolved issues for allowing ourselves to become overweight(my personal opinion).

I actually was able to squat w/o assistance, but getting back up was even easy!
