hey all! it is almost our one year bandverseries! soo hard to believe!! so where is everyone at? how are you all doing? any struggles ? NSV's??

I am down 100 lbs and have dropped 5 pants sizes so far.. i go to the gym every day and loving my band how abut you ?

lost 130 and am down 9 pants sizes! I love my band but will always struggle to eat right. By that I mean stay away from the sweets. I know what is good for me and what makes me feel best, but it can be tempting. I go to the gym 4 times a week now that I have hit goal and will continue to stay active. Clothes shopping is getting a little easier, it can be hard when you were obese for years and do not know where to shop or what to buy. But I have gotten to know my knew body and it is getting better. I had double hernia surgery in November and spent 5 days in the hospital, my recovery was pretty fast and I did not gain any weight during my down time! I get stuck on occasion and is it usually caused by not chewing enough and is purely my fault. My band does tighten up right before my tom but that's ok, it is just reminding me it is still there. I hope everyone else is doing well and had great weight loss and ncv with their bands.

I'm doing good..I think..have just settled in to knowing my band. Down almost 70lbs and that is after a restart from my ob cutting my tubing during my hysterectomy.just now feeling like I know my band and can go forward from here.I have 50 more pounds that I want to loose, but I will be happy with 40, that will put me at 186.

I have found that many people are asking me now when will I stop that I'm getting too skinny :-D..i am far from skinny!

I do need to do more exercise and use the various apps that I have downloaded to my phone and do things on the run..
