I was stuck at 250 to 255 for almost 2 weeks. Finally broke the plateau. It was so discouraging. Before the band, this is where I would start stuffing my face and giving up.

I stuck it out, did and ate what I'm suppose to, and it finally happened. Goodbye 250's Hello 240"s.

Congrats!!! :cursing: Keep celebrating those "milestone" victories! That is what helps me - I just take it 10 pounds at a time!!

Congratulations! The band has really helped me with the plateau I was just on... from mid-June until August I stayed at the same couple of pounds. It was bothersome, and typically I would have started eating so much that I would have gained back everything. While I did eat *some* more, I didn't gain anything, thanks to the band, and now I have started losing again.

Love my band!!

Congratulations!! I'm equally anxious to get down into the 250s, after having stalled for almost a week so far.

I keep having to tell myself that "the first couple months are about healing and not about losing weight."

Carol, I am proud of you for hanging in there and not getting discouraged, not reverting to your pre-band ways. That is a huge NSV!!!!
