April Bandster Bunnies - check in!

I haven't heard much from April Bandsters. Would love to hear from you all!

I have lost a total of 73 pounds (51 since surgery day). I am off some meds and down from size 22 to 14 petite. I feel great! Weight loss has slowed down but still going the right direction. Still love my band. :)

Hello There! Just got back from vacation and I am doing well.... Still working on my sweet spot- Have lost about 50 lbs (think I put on a few on vacation)... need to reestablish my exercise routine.

Hi all. I'm glad to hear you both are well. I've been doing well and am happy about my progress. I'm getting nervous about the holidays coming up and I'm still trying to keep my expectations in check.

As always, thanks for all of the support these last 6 months.

Doing well, 62lbs total. I have stalled out pretty good. I understand why and am working on it. Been hitting the gym pretty regular and pretty hard. I enjoy being me! My wife asked last night what happened to her husband. I told her, he got fat, I am giving you back the guy you married! Good to hear from you all and look forward to hearing from the rest. Rock On, Waynooo

Hey All!

I have lost 43lbs. This past month I have finally gotten to my "sweet spot" and and I can really tell a difference in the way and amount I eat. This is the most weight I have lost in my life. My last weight loss attempt, three years ago, it took me a YEAR on weight watchers to lose 30lbs and I gained that all back + an extra 40lbs after I stopped going. I am so excited for this weight loss to stay off!

Its so wonderful to hear from everyone and their great weight loss. I have lost a total of 53, 30 since the band. Its going slower than I expected, but at least its going.

You are all doing great! I have lost way more than I thought I would have at this point, and I am thrilled about it! Headed to Key West for New Year's and am hoping to be at 170 by then (90 pounds down!!!) and it is actually a realistic goal at this point!

I feel happier than I have in years...more than the weight I've lost, it's the "weight on my shoulders" of being self-conscious and uncomfortable all the time that I am most happy to have lost.

Keep up the good work!

I have not lost much in the last month - only 2 pounds, but I got some wonderful feedback this week. One of my employees told another that when I lost 73 pounds she noticed I lost 73 pounds of attitude too - I am so much better to work for! That makes me really happy!

Thanks for posting this. I have been wondering how everyone is doing. I have lost 53 pounds. In the last 2 months I have lost and gained, then lost again the same 5 pounds. Last wk I hit my sweet spot, and what a diffrence. I am so happy. Congrats to everyone andkeep up the good work!
