Need Daily Weigh-in Email Buddy

Banded 11/9/2012

Weight at Surgery: 172

Current Weight:165

Goal Weight: 125

Goals: Lose 5lbs/month

Exercise: C25k

Age: 26

Location: Michigan for now, LA in the near future

I'm not so much looking for a mentor as someone at the same point in the journey with a relatively similar amount of weight to lose (40-50lbs). I'm 6 weeks post-op.

I've found that daily weighing keeps me on track like nothing else, so I'm looking for someone to-without excuses--email each other our weights every morning and also talk about our ongoing progress and struggles.

I was banded in June 2011 and have only lost about 20-30lbs (right now 20lbs). I'm 23 years old and none of my friends are aware of my band therefore I don't have a strong support system. If anyone is looking for weigh in buddy feel free to message me!

I am 28 and I totally understand weighing every day - I never weighed myself before I started this journey so I feel like it is part of the new me!

I have 70lbs left to lose but I am doing it in stages so my next goal is 30lbs before July -- I was banded in December and have lost 34 lbs so far!

Would love to chat!!

I'm addicted to weighting myself everyday also. At the gym every morning before workout and after workout without sneaks...yes it is diffrent. My email is christine_gicking@glic.com. I'd love to join. Today 158.8

I was banded in July 2013...I would love to have an email buddy! I am considered a Low BMI lap band patient...so my journey is going very very slowly! But I would love to communicate with others about their journey!

id love to join this....please pm me....if anyone wants to email back and forth........support is vital for success

and a great way to make friends

I actually am no longer weighing 2 x day. I have been on a very long plateau and have now started back on metformin, zocor and lisinopril. I have been having a really hard time losing, I have gained a good 5 lbs instead. Very frustrated, still working out 5x week for about 45 minutes and still no losing. Need some advise!!!
