I posted in location specific forums as well but this seems to get more traffic.

I live in Hagerstown MD but pass through Frederick 2-3 times weekly, am in DC once weekly and Leesburg, VA 1-2 times per week.

Banded in March of 2009. Initially lost 100 pounds in year one. Dropped 350 to 250. Then dropped another 40 in year two to 210. Back up to 240 at this point. Fill is not a useful tool for me at this time. It would take me to liquid breakfasts and trouble with proteins and veggies, which defeats the purpose.

I need a friend (definite preference on LOCAL) that is interested in chatting via email, possiblity meeting up from time to time, and/or working out. I'm pretty flexible on all of this, but would like to get back on track with someone that is in a similar situation or has recently been banded, as either of these would be motivation for me, and I would like to help motivate right back.

I have started back out on a workout regimine that includes walking/running (doing couch to 5k) as well as cardio and weights in gym. Current exercise rate of 4-5 times weekly for 30-45 minutes each time. Would like to up this once I am ready physically.

Hi my name is Margaret Powell and I just got banded on August 22 and got my first fill today. I am to looking for someone to talk with and maybe meet up to walk.

Sorry I am also from Hagerstown..
