Hello to each of you! I too have decided this is the year to focus on me and what I need. I have always had "issues" with my weight, but had managed to pretty much keep it under control. Maybe not in the best of ways, but....... Anyway, since the arrival of my oldest child in 1997, my weight has spiraled out of control. I want to be around for some time to come and had to do something about it as I have had high BP for a number of years and was begining to have other weight related health problems. I was just banded here in Richmond VA on February 5th. So far I have lost a total of 38 pounds but still have a ways to go( I would like to lose another 100 pounds). I feel very fortunate that my family has been so supportive in my decisiion. I wish each of us much luck and success on this great journey that we have or are about to embark upon! Best wishes!!
