Hey Everyone,

Just wanted to take some time to introduce myself. My name is Rachael, and I've been banded since August. My weightloss has been a bit slower, but i think for two reasons, first - i haven't found the sweet spot yet, and two, i've been doing so much travelling with my line of work, that it's been an uphill climb to try and find the right foods to eat. I head back home in a couple days, and i'll be able to start fresh..thank GOD! Anyhow, i've learned so much since i've been on this site, and i hope to one day contribute and help others.

Thanks for all the advice so far,

Rachael.:clap2:

Hi Rachael, Welcome to LBT!! This is a Wonderful site for Wonderful support!

Hi Terri,

Thanks for the words of inspiration. I do get a great feeling from all of you on the site. Very positive.

Rachael.

Rachael, can I ask you how much you have lost? I'm just wondering as a future bandster, what to expect when life gets hectic and sometimes rules are hard to follow. Welcome o the site, the people here are amazing.

Yeah.. I'm wondering too what slower is.... I figure heck even if I lose 30 lbs a year, that is better than gaining... and the band isn't going away... but I HOPE once banded that I will drop weight FAST.. LOL (yeah right)

Hi Guys,

Ok, so i got banded in August, lost about 10 pounds on the pre diet, and then lost about another 8 since then. Mind you...i do theatre, and performing, and all that crazy stuff, so my lifestyle is upside down when im on the road. I'm hoping to become more focused when i get back down to earth...its been a tough one for me. Picture being in England, and the whole cast is eating anything they want...and im here trying to hold down what i can. It was tough. Sometimes, there was no time to eat, so everyone would shovle down food, while running for the train, and there i was trying not to be sick while the train rocked back and forth. It's been a tough couple of months, but it all ends Jan.2, when ill be back in toronto.

Well good luck Rachael, hopefully things will settle down for you in the new year.

Becca

Thanks Becca,

I'll let you all know how im doing once I get back.

Rachael.
