What about a mentoring group? Maybe there is one in place right now.

I am rather frustrated that the band is not working but maybe I'm not doing all I could do. Perhaps speaking with a mentor, sharing foods eaten, exercise done, etc, maybe would help any of us stuck in a rut.

Thanks!

Looking for help at all angles... feeling rather like the lap band is the biggest con ever pulled off ... :confused_smile:

:scared2: ty ty ty... you have no idea how much that means to me.

Yes I do I am a fat chick too - even though my body says i am not in my head I am and most likely will always be a fat chick...

I totally understand how important it is to have someone beleive in you and give you the encourgement when things are tough...

Always here for you...

Nobody knows better than I do how frustrating it is not to see the scale move when you think it should. Like I said, if you stay on track and not "fall off the wagon" the scale will eventually move.

You've touched on an idea I've been toying with for quite some time now. I'm extremely familiar with 12 step programs and a huge part in being successful with any of these programs is by getting as well as being what's known as a "sponsor."

While almost the entire web site is based upon offering and receiving support I think a one on one approach might work extremely well for many people.

I'm going to work on this a little more and give it a trial run shortly.

Stay tuned
