One of the things that would be so great about this group is if the people who reached their goal stuck around for a little while. It's so inspiring to the rest of us and balances out the more common threads about problems we are having, etc.

Would anyone like to make a pact with me? Once I reach goal, I promise to come back and post here at least once a month for the next year. Is anyone with me? Now that I think about it, it would be nice to have a forum for bandsters at goal.

I am in. I am very very close to goal and i hope and pray i make it by my anniversary on 9/8/06. I will post at least 1 month or 1 every other month to keep up with my new found internet family.

Even at goal I will still need support! I will be here!

me too; i pledge to stick around; this isn't really just a run of the mill forum

It's gonna be a loooong time before I get to goal, but I will also vow to stick around for a while

I will stay around. I am trying to be at my goal by one year mark, I only have a week but I may already be there. It has been a while since I went in and weighed so I am not exactly sure, but either at or very close.

I am worried about maintaining so I will be around. I have gone to goal more than once before only to gain it back. With the band I fully expect this to be it; but I think it is going to be a lifetime committment. This has been a great journey; the best, and easiest, for me. And note that I said easiest not easy.

Best wishes to all!!

i will be here as long as i have my band. :kiss2:

i'm here for the duration! just banded 11 days ago so i have a LOOOOOOOONG way to go!
