Way to go Mike! Congratulations to all the upcoming bandits.

I had my second fill Friday. I have restriction now! Been losing a pound a day since. Before the fill, I was struggling, eating smaller portions, but had to force myself to not eat more. Now I HAVE to eat slow, chew well and eat small amounts. And I'm OK with it. Love the results!

Stand Strong Brothers!

I don't know why I haven't seen this thread before but anyway... I'm here now.

I really need something to get me back on track. The weight is not coming off as fast as I'd like it to and I have been stuck in the same 35# range since Thanksgiving. Do I cheat? Yes, sometimes. But I wanted the band to keep me from cheating or at least give me a punch when I tried to cheat. That is not easy after years and years of bad habits.

I wouldn't say it was any one bad habit in particular, it was just negligence. Years went by and I realized one day that I had gained 150# in a space of about 10 years. All that time I did nothing to stop it. I guess I just kept making excuses and ignored the weight gain. It wasn't until health problems started occuring that I decided to do something about it.

Now, I'm stuck yet hopeful. Maybe this thread and support from other men will help.

I never had a goal weight but I remember a friend years ago told me that if I would just lose 30# she would be all over me 24/7. At that time my weight was the lowest I can remember at 235#. So I think 30# less and I will have my goal weight! ;-)

Welcome harlito and Wendell Edwards! We have some fun here and talk about guy issues with the band. Sometimes we even talk sports. Enjoy your thread!

Thanks for the complement Reptile. You are doing super also! I wish you luck in getting back into the 170s. I hope we both get there there at some time in the not too distant future. Whoever gets there first I hope the other isn't far behind. I'm rootin' for all us losers!

Bruce

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
