Um.. not sure what to say here. I just found the site.

Banded 9.18.2008.

309/272/135.

Former eating disorders, anorexia/bulimia as young teen, bulimia till early 30's, medicating with food till late 30's with result of over 100lbs gained.

metabolism tested normal. Get stuck on plateaus easy, speculation being that it's either becuause body freaks out at weight loss (starving myself again) or becuase I was at a weight for a "long time." No clue if either right but annoying just the same.

Lost 37lbs, about 1.45 lbs a week.

No work outs, chronic pain, but as weight comes off I am able to do more, and I am very pleased at that.

Whelp, that's about it.

Blessings, Pan

Welcome & congrats on you weight loss!

I am fairly new here, but I have found this to be a very supportive community. Take some time and browse around on the threads, use what you need and leave the rest. k

Hi Pan. Welcome to LBT. This site is a great place to find information and support. I have made some very good friends here and love hearing other's stories. Many of my questions have been answered here and my concerns addressed. Keep coming here, reading, and asking. I was banded the day after you were (Sept. 19th). I sure do know what you mean about plateaus - they are annoying!! I have been on one for over two weeks now. I am just trying to stay focused and know that eventually I will step down from this plateau. I'm glad you found this site and hope that you find it as helpful as I have. Take good care of yourself and keep in touch. Becky
