Hello,

My name is Vicki. I just got the band 2 days ago. I checked this board right before my surgery but didn't see anyone sign up for January 2011. I'm guessing there are more out there than just me or perhaps you can guide me to the right place to get in touch with other "newbies". There are no support groups anywhere near where I live so am pretty dependant on the online stuff. Looking forward to hearing from others.

Thanks,

Vicki

I haven't had a fill since about May but I'm pretty much at my sweet spot. Overall I've done well but I do have times, particularily during high stress or high hormones (ie pms) where I have some trouble keeping on track. I am really loving my new level of fitness so much. I make the gym a regular part of my life and I'm sure it's been instrumental in my success. I absolutely love the group classes. I'm thinking of getting one of those heart monitors...there's a lady at my gym that has one and it can tell you how many calories you burned during your workout. I would love that.

Anyway, I'm about 25 lb to goal. I'll see when I get there if that is my final goal or not...I just picked it kind of randomly. Good luck everyone!
