Finally taking responsibility for my slow loss. I'm eating too slow and making bad choices. Before I go for my next fill I am making the commitment to give the band a fair chance. Was banded sept.30 2012 and only down 30 lbs. this week my goals are not to give into sugar cravings, log all meals and work out 3 times...at least 20 minutes. Anyone else wanna join up, support and encourage weekly concentration on band success!

At 61 I also lost very slowly. But in 15 months I lost 89 lbs. I made it when it was time to make it.

Have patience learn lessons. learn rules. What is your other choice? Keep going it will happen.

I lost about 35 pounds per year and am now down 85 pounds. Like Cindysmom, I'm losing the weight in the time I am supposed to lose the weight. No one is going to hand out an award for fastest weight loss so you may as well take pleasure in each stage of the loss. No doubt making better food choices and adding exercise with speed you up a bit, though. Good luck to you.
