5yrs Banded, need support buddy/buddies!

Hello!

I’ve been banded for 5 yrs. In 3 yrs I lost 103lbs and was 11lbs to goal. Long story short due to the stresses of life instead of hitting my goal I gained 30lbs back over the last 2 yrs. Well I’ve finally woken up, yippy! I’ve adjusted my goal to 148lbs instead of 138lbs. I’ve already lost 5lbs and now I have 27 to go until I hit my goal. I’m hoping to hit it by the last day of summer Sept. 22nd.

I’d really love to chat with others who need support as I’m really struggling. I’ve been super motivated the last 3-4 weeks as I have not missed one day of working out. However with only a 5lb loss I’m starting to feel discouraged.

Anyone else out there?

I was banded 3 yrs ago. I lost 68 lbs and have not been able to lose anymore. I would like a support buddy as well to help me get back on track.

Can I join you both ? It will be 3 years in August that I was banded. I lost 70 pounds the first 2 years and nothing this last year, I actually gained about 10 over the winter.

I am back on track, finally. I had my first fill over 9 months last week and it seems to be helping. I haven't really had any restriction in a while. I have also changed my goal. I was original hoping to go down to 135, now I would be happy with 140-145.

I've been running and walking to try to get the scale moving again.
