Since being banded I am training everyday and I am eating sensibly/counting calories and I am working harder to achieve my goal harder than before the band. You know why????

It's because I am major motivated by my weightloss, by comments from people, by clothes fitting easier, by fitting in plane seats, by staying healthy, by living longer, by being able to

Play with my daughter.

Don't get me wrong the band kick started all this and majorly helps portion control but results drive enthusiasm.

HOW BAD DO YOU WANT IT????

For sure....you still have to do ALL the work the band just makes it easier because of the restriction. You can do it!! Good luck and keep up the good work =)

OMG yes! I think that says it all. If losing the weight is what you want, more than anything, you will make it happen, band or not. The band just makes it a little easier, but we still have to do all the heavy lifting (pun intended)

Bravo....very well said! Getting healthy for my children is the ultimate motivator.

love this post py....keep posting these type threads

Yes, the band is a tool. You still have to work it!

I couldn't agree more!

I agree with all I hate when I hear people say I took the easy way out they have no ideal of the hard work I continue to put in day after day
