Several people have suggested a place to post on a regular basis to save time going from one thread to another! I thought this would be a good title. Like reading the daily newspaper!

We are all banded now, and I will still update the line up when new people discover this site.

I look forward to hearing from everyone as we transform!

Well, time for another fill. Good thing about this journey.. you can always get back on track! Holidays are hard.. love that Egg Nog! lol! Hope all you guys are doing well. about 25 pounds to goal.. Hope to see "less of you" soon! God Bless!

Hi everyone! I am doing great! I lost the 15 that had creeped back on, we bought our dream home on new years eve and so far the new year has been amazing! I hope you are all doing great too?

Well hello Junies!!! It's almost our 6 year bandiversary! I am doing great. I am the smallest I have ever been, 158 and wearing size 8 jeans. Getting a full in November really made the difference. I knew I would struggle through the holidays. I hope all is well!!!

Hi Junies! i have not been here FOREVER! Who's still around? How is everyone doing? I have recently decided to start over because I sort of lost motivation for a while and the weight came creeping back. I gained back about 30 of the 45 I originally lost. Been back to see the bariatric nurse and we are working on it again. Like someone said, the good thing is that we can keep on adjusting till we get it right.I had a major upset last Aug where I had to quit my job and move back closer to my kids. (That wasn't stressful, just the job.) Have a lot less stress now and a lot less money! but I am happier. Its hard to find support in this part of Iowa where I am. Not many banders around here and no support groups. I need cheerleaders so if you read this, help me with motivation!

Allie, you are looking awesome!

Thanks so much, sorry you are struggling but that is the good news of the band can tweak when we need to! I'm going to post some new pics
