:confused: Happy to report that in the last 8 months I have lost 69 lbs. When you get discouraged or have a stall in your weight loss, hang in their. I have refocused the last 2 weeks and have lost another 5 lbs. I went almost a month and a half and did not loose anything and it was so discouraging.

Just remember to make better food choices and make your weight loss a fun experiance.

The good thing about the band is it gets you through the difficult times. In the past, if I had a weight loss stall for more than a week I would go back to my old habits. The band helps keep me on track. :nervous

Congrats:clap2: I am just one week away from being banded.Can't hardly wait.Thanks for the tips, I know I will need all I can get. Keep up the good work.

Grats :confused: Keep up the good work and positive attitude

great job Tod, we are kind in the same boat: 67lbs in 6.5 months. I also experienced a stall for a month but we are doing better now, keep in touch.

Thank you all for your posts!

Tod

thank you for that post, because after my dr appt on monday, i was very discouraged with my 6lbs weight gain. i happen to know why i gained, because i have developed this crazy sweet tooth, and i know i have to work hard on that. so thanks tod
