Hi Everyone. This is the best thread I've found for myself due to the fact I will be celebrating my 1st year band-aversary the 29th of this month. I have only lost 42 pounds and most of that was within the first 4 months. I have had some real issues with plateaus. It is great to finally know that I'm not alone with evil issues of slow weight loss. It's great to hear encouragements and ideas for continuing the fight for success. Keep up the good work.
