How long have you been at goal, how long did it take you to get to goal, did you have alot of weight to lose. Now at goal, how do you tell your mind no even though you have lost weight, you will put on again if eat all that junky food.

Hello Slimmy,

I've been at my goal for a little over 3 years now. It took about a year and a half to reach my goal. I lost 155 pounds.

The band is my miracle tool. Even though I have to do some of the work, it helps me with eating because I can't eat that much anymore, I tend to make wiser food choices. I don't feel good if I fill up on junk food. I love my band!

Took me just over a year to get to goal and it was a lot of weight to me, maybe not so much compared to others. Transitioning to maintenance is easier than I thought. As for junk food, I lose my interest after a couple cookies. It is just not the same as it used to be.

Same for me...I've been at my goal for 4 years as of the end of March. It took about a year and a half to reach my goal from 238 pounds to my persona l goal of 155. I actually went down to 147, and am back up to 165.

I still battle with food, well more wine than actual food but I love myself in my siz eight jeans and I cringe at my before pics. Be encouraged - the band works if you work with it.
