Looking for Band Buddy!

My name is Brittany. I am 28 years old! I was banded 10/8/14. I live in Southern Indiana/ Louisville Area! I need weekly motivation and someone that can relate to me! I have no friends or family that understand the lapband or what I am going through! :)

Hey guys,

Im back again! Im happy this came back up again cuz I was wondering how Brittany is doing and for myself STILL struggling and losing weight, BUT the holidays KILLED me and Im fighting back HARD! I gained a WHOPPING 14.8 lbs and I am officially back on track and lost that weight within a week! Doing right and doing the Braggs Apple Cider vinegar shot! I am need of someone to help me with some motivation! NO one in my life understands my struggle! My guy eats what he wants and is fine with what he does, BUT its a REAL life struggle for me to get motivated and get into this gym and have this weight off and get to my goal! Are there any REAL life people thats looking for a "Buddy" to help along the way!?
