i am guesssing there must be others out there looking for a bit of support and motivation. Its easy to slip back into bad habbits I know I have.

I just recommitted about a month ago!!! I was complacent for a long time!!! I am in need of support also!

Hello Sept. 2008 Band Mates: I'm getting back on track. I lost 90 pounds in the first year and then stalled and yo-yo'd. I thought my band was loose but was having some night coughs. Went to Dr. and he added .25cc and suggested that I move any meds and vitamins to morning. I think the vitamins were the problem with the night coughs. He also wanted me to keep track of calories which is a big trigger for me because it feels like dieting and I can get obsessive about writing things down. The nurse suggested the My Fitness Pal app for my phone and it's been wonderful. I can scan the bar codes on products and it gives me all the nutritional information. I'm so glad it's easier than the old days. I've been fairly faithful for a week which is a bit of a miracle and I've lost 7 pounds. I really feel like I'm on track again and eating like I did when I first had the band. Moving the meds to morning has helped. I'm still hoping to get to my goal weight by the 5 year anniversary of band.

Hi out there - I have not been back on the forum for several years. did so well the first couple of years and then got complacent and have re-gained a significant amount of weight back. I relearned ( or actually never forgot) old eating habits and stopped exercising for about a year because of arthritis pain. Recently rejoined a gym to do what I can and am watching what I put in my mouth again. I will get back on trackIII It's hard to think I did so well and let myself regress. I was so proud of myself but once again I have a whole closet full of clothes that don't fit. Need motivation so I guess I'll have to become a regular on this site again.

Hi, how is everyone doing? I've been off this site for a long time. Need to get back in the swing of things.

Hi Snowgator. I have also not used this site for soooooo long. I really need to get myself re-committed and back on tracks x
