I have been overweight all my life.  In the past year I noticed I could no longer bend over and tie my shoes, couldn't go on hikes with my friends and was very uncomfortable in public seats.  My daughter and 2 friends had lap band and have all done well.  So, I thought why not me.  I've been on many diets but they never lasted and over the years my weight just kept going up and up.  I know I will never be thin, thats not me, but I do want to be active, not have to squeeze into airplane, stadium, and movie seats.  I don't want to exceed the weight limit on my husbands motorcycle and most of all I want to be able to get in and out of a kayak next summer.
