Hey Donna, Oh babe I know everything you said to me I know already!!!! My cousin had her op two weeks before me and she has lost a whopping 27kgs I spent christma day with her and that when I thought ok wake up call you need to sort this. The beach idea is a good one I do live by the bay but time is my enemy working full time with four little ones and a sometimes 2hr commute both ways to work. I am a nurse and should know better but I have been cycling 10 mins each morning including this morning new years day before I headed to work!!!! how good am I and a half hour swim/frolic in the pool with my boys when I get home......the amazing thing is even in less than a week I feel like I have more energy. And my boys love mum in the pool with them. Thank you for replying to my thread hunny I appreciate it.....glad I found this group. All the best for a lighter fitter 2009 xxxxx

Hey folks I was banded in april this year 2008 and have joined this group in the hope of getting some motivation to help me loose the weight I thought I would have lost by now!!! Had such high hopes after surgery but have only lost 10kgs and most of that was in the 4 weeks post op. On the good side at least I am not gaining. I do however know what I am doing wrong....alcohol is a down fall plus the mindset that ok I have a band but I can still eat what I want...and believe me with 8ml fill I can still eat bread, meat you name it and still eat a fairly decent size portion. So ladies (and gents) my 2009 IS going to be the year I loose this weight and the diabetes. Exercise bike is out of the garage and in my bedroom winking at me to use it and use it I will (oh help) My aim is to be below 120kg by end of Jan 2009 (3kgs) amd hopefully down to 115kg by my birthday in March.....this will be the lightest I have been in 11 years!!!! So my new friends and hopefully weightloss cheerleaders I need your help....any tips handy hints or bottom kicking you can hand out would be wonderful. I am so lucky that my insurance company paid the full cost of my surgery and I am wasteing this golden opportunity. Wish me luck Kayla
