I'm 5'7", banded in January 2004, and live in East Lansing, MI. My weight on my surgery day was 260 and I am currently at 177. The lowest I've gotten since my surgery was about 159, but I have been hovering between 170 & 180 for roughly the past 3 years. I am looking for a buddy/mentor who I can email throughout the workday when those office cupcakes are looking good and even though I'm not hungry I'm wanting to eat them anyway. It would also be cool to be able to text a buddy/mentor in the evenings/weekends when my willpower is flagging and I need a little dose of "you don't really need to make and eat cookie dough right now" reality.
I'm getting married in about 3.5 weeks and enough is enough. Clearly, if fitting into that wedding gown isn't motivation enough, I need some outside help!
If anybody is up for the challenge of being my weight loss "sponsor", I would really appreciate it!
