Back on focus after some health issues - down 7. I don't think it is possible for me to reach my original goal of 17lbs by July 4th but I am really shooting for another 5.

I'm in - my goal will be to lose 17 lbs which will put me at 159.

Happy Mum's day everyone Well didn't quite reach my goal of 15 pounds but made 14. So I am very happy, especially after being stuck for 2 weeks. This challenge helped keep me focused. What is the next one????????? I'm in.

I live in Monmouth County - central NJ by the beach. Wow Stevie 4'10 you are tiny!!!!!!!!!! I am 5'4. I am big chested also but since losing 30 lbs - I have lost 6 inches off my chest. This makes me very happy - I hate having big breasts like you I always need a larger shirt. I must say this is hard work. Before I was banded I thought this was the "easy" way to lose weight - now I realize it is just another tool. Albeit a great tool but a tool all the mental stuff is hard.

Finally, finally broke throught my plateau - no loss or gain for 2 weeks now down 4. Yeah..... I was soooooo discouraged. Best news of my week - needed smaller jeans so went to look for one of my boxes of smaller clothes (I have several boxes in several sizes) My daughter says to me oh my god mum those are too big put a belt on!!!!!!!!!!!!! Made my day.

Stevie Your numbers are very similar to mine banded 3/8 Highest weight 210 Current 183 Goal 135 First fill 4/5 Next 5/3

I'm so frustrated no weight loss (or gain) for 2 weeks. I'm being good really I am!!!!!!!! My goal is to exercise more this week. Something has got to give.

Hi I live in Monmouth County at the gorgeous Jersey Shore. My goal this year is not to be too embarassed to wear a bathing suit to the beach.

Count me in too. My first fill is Monday the 5th. I am going to shoot for 15.

I was banced 3/5/10. I lost 15 lbs pre banding and only 4 post and nothing more. I have felt myself frustrated and slipping into bad habits. I have no fill yet and honestly I think I could eat just about anything - I feel no restriction. I step on the scale day after day with no change and am starting to feel like this won't work. Looking to support.:thumbup:

That is incredibly dangerous - I am a nurse and I have never considered that. I hope you know how big your band is - if you have any initial fill etc. You can cause necrosis and die if it is too tight. NEVER reuse a needle. Your life is worth going to a doctor and being monitored. I wish the board would remove your post.

I am so glad someone else feels the same as me - I feel myself slipping. I am also 23 days out and starving! I am very discouraged. My first fill is April 5th and I am hoping for something because right now I feel like this was a waste.
