Great Idea - I will do it right now !!

Hi

I am Janet and I am a recovering food addict :wink2:

I was banded 7/17/07 - My starting weight was 250 - I'm 5'4

Today (just over 10 months out) I am 154 - size 8 pants (was 18/20) Medium tops (was 22/24)

I got banded as I wanted to extend the years that I have left on this planet and to do that I knew that I needed to lose weight.

The band has been the tool I needed. For the first time in my life I have been able to achieve this goal (actually getting to my goal weight)

If you want a buddy - support - help - suggestions - Please feel free to call upon me - I will gladly share my journey with you - the journey is still on going and by helping you I will be helping me (staying motivated and accountable) and then one day you can pay it forward and help someone else.

Well after some frustration we got our XBox Kinect set up tonight. TUrns out some 'sync' button wasn't working and it wasn't us. That was a relief. Felt so frustrated and foolish when it wouldn't work and it wasn't even us. Sometimes I just assume it's us when it comes to technology. LOL Still have some setting up of things like our accounts, etc. but hope to get my workout thing going on it soon.

Janet, yes I do want to lose some pounds, but tops I have been a large in since hitting goal pretty much, got a few mediums but usually needed the large even at my smallest. Pants well I bought them snug and hope they'll be loose soon!

Arelene, I'm not looking to follow WW or anything will stick to my 'band rules' and Protein, but was just curious about the changes since I did the points program forever before banding. Glad you found something for the anxiety.

Apples, glad you liked the woman doctor, I've had very few in my life as well. Can't believe DH didn't want to hook up that walk in closet for ya! Is he still planning on the bikes?? They could maybe go in there too. LOL

LauraK, enjoy your New Years date! Will want to hear about it.

Jodi, have you ever gone to Times Square to watch the ball drop? I have always thought that would be fun. WE thought of doing it when we lived in Philadelphia but didn't. I watch it on TV, I usually watch it at 10pm here and pretend it's midnight and then go to bed. LOL

Great...funny on the techie stuff (not really funny in the moment cuz can be sooooooooooo frustrating). My oldest gets so upset with us when he sees how we are with things like that. He always says "I'm going to send you two to the home for the technically challenges".

Jodi...me too....always wanted to watch the NYE ball drop. Was on the Sydney bridge by the opera house one year at midnight on NYE....I guess that was about as exciting as it could get.
