That is super fantastic. Congratulations!!!! I am really proud of you.

I've struggled with weight my entire life. I can't imagine ever getting to goal weight but the day I do, I will shout it out.

You are AWESOME...

Long2bThin -

That's why I put it here to let everyone who is just starting their journey to know that IT CAN BE DONE.... You gotta work at it - the band is only a tool - it really boils down to eating healthy and exercising - You have to make the committment to yourself - but OMG let me tell you something - it is so worth it - you are so worth the work

Thanks so much for putting that in there. It is a tool and one I plan to use to it's full advantage. I am self pay and to me that makes it all the more important that I do everything they tell me w/o trying to find ways around the band etc. I've already begun going to the gym as I figure the more in shape I can get now the more I can do later and hopefully the more that helps with my recovery as well. And for the first time in a long time I am thinking in terms of WHEN I lose the weight vs. IF I lose so I am starting to get the head into this as well, if that makes sense. Thanks for the words of encouragement.

Congrats Indigo. You are a real inspiration. I was banded 4 weeks ago, and have been having a hard time. I'll have a few good days, then totally BLOW. Sometimes it is hard to pick myself up, but I know I have to. You really made my day. I am SO inspired to have a good day tomorrow. Can't make promises about day after tomorrow, but tomorrow, I'm going to let you success inspire me. In fact, I'm going to have a perfect day not only for me...but to TOAST your success.

Once again, Congrats and may God continue to bless you with success.
