Hi Everyone!

I am so excited to be on this forum, chatting with other people who I can relate to in the weight loss battle! I was banded on 1/20/09. In total, I have lost 20 lbs so far. I'm worried that I won't be successful as I find myself returning to my old patterns and that's now what I want! I want a new, healthier me who can shop in regular size stores and not have weight be on the forefront of my mind! I look forward to all of your great advice!

All the best,

Mary

Welcome to LBT! You will find lots of advice on the web site, but it is always important to follow your doctor's instructions.

Good luck with your journey!

Hello and congratulations and best wishes on your new journey.

I live in PA but I was banded in Jersey in October 08'. This forum is great I use it alot. If I get bored and want to eat or tired and dont want to exercise I come here read whats new and it helps me get motivated.
