Will This Time Be Different?

So as i start putting away clothes that are too big now i ask myself How will this time be any different? Have had weight loss success b4 but never kept it off for long. I want this to be the last time. But how? Banded 10/10. Lost 35 need to lose 60 more. Happy but sad it could just be another failure. How can I make sure this time is different? Btw Im 51 and too old and tired to do this again! :)

    You will be fine if you remember all of the above notes! I am 58 and I too have lost before, and gained back many times over my years.

    I plan on doing what I am doing now and keep doing it, it is a lifestyle change along with a diet.

    And hell, if this band of mine acts up I would do another surgery if I had to! (hoping my band is with me till death do we part) I am never giving up, I like the way I feel 91 pounds down and working my next 25 pounds!
