I try to walk anywhere from 5 1/2 to 6 miles per day, 5 to 6 days a week. Surgery: 248lbs 7/22/09 Current: 138 Goal: 135

Thank you, I too, never thought I would be in the 130's, in fact when I started this journey I told myself I would be happy just getting under 200. I have no secrets I just truly stuck to the band rules, and did a lot of walking, I never joined a gym or anything, because I wasn't sure I would stick to it, but walking you can do anytime or anyplace. My daughter who is 18 would walk with me all the time and get me going on those days I didn't want to. But otherwise really no secrets. I was wandering if you or anyone else who are close or have reached goal have a fear of gaining weight back? I have been on so many diets and lost a lot of weight only to gain it back, and lately people all seem to want to tell me about how they know someone who had LAP-BAND® and they gained all their weight back and more, I feel sometimes people want to see you fail.

I can't explain how I feel being so close to goal. I have 3lbs. to go. I met my first goal of 150 by my doctor about a month and half ago, and he asked what my goal was and I told him 135. I had a few issues the past few months with being too tight so I have been going for fills and unfill but now I seem to be on the right track. I have not been this weight since 20+ years, It has been a wonderful experience for me the only regret I have is that I waited so long to do it, I feel like a totally new person and am enjoying the new me! Surgery: 7/22/2009-248lbs. Curent Weight: 138lbs. Goal: 135lbs.

As of today I lost 10 of the 13 pounds. Still have 3 pounds to goal. I had a few issues the past few months with fills and unfills, but hopefully now I am at the right spot. I can't wait to meet goal!

Weighed in Monday and was down 8 pounds, 5 more pounds till goal!!:thumbup:

Hi, this is my first time ever posting online, but I want to say how much this forum has helped me since I got banded 7/22/09. I amy 13 lbs away from goal and I would love to reach it by Mother's Day, that would be the greatest gift of all.
