This is my journal towards weight loss. This is where I can come and put everything out there. I have kept my decision to myself. The only person besides my doctor that know is my husband. (I finally told my best friend too!) My kids know I had surgery, but not what kind. They are in jr. high so they are too preoccupied to ask what kind of surgery although they have been treating me great!
I've had goals, met them and made new ones. This is finally becoming a lifestyle for me. It has taken about 3 months for that to happen. I know that I can fall off the wagon if I'm not careful. Luckily the band helps me be careful.
My life is quickly becoming "Band-tastic".
(Sorry, I couldn't help myself!

OMG!!!!
I am out of the 170's! I weighed 168.9 lbs today! Awesome!
I too started to platuea after about 8 months. I needed another adjustment that I put off for 3 monthsl I also changed up my diet a little. My supper mostly is tilapia fish and a side of cottage cheese to help with the texture. With a high protein breakfast and noon meal the weight has started to move again. I had started to cheat with sweets and it had stalled my progress. Still hitting the gym. I still do much better if I track everthing I eat at www.spartkpeople.com. If I don't track it then I eat one or two things that really screw up my band. I love my band. I might be a little tight. If I was closer to my surgeon I would get a tiny unfil, but if I am mindful of what I eat and the bites I take then I do okay.
I'm in the 160's! I just about can't stand it!!!!
