I think it's so cool that you all seem to know each other. Maybe I can squeeze in here and get to know some of you and let you get to know me. I too was banded in May of 2006. The 12th to be exact. I was hoping to have lost 100#'s by my 1 yr mark, but it's been 2 yrs now and I still haven't made it. My fault I know. Old habits die hard.
I have lost almost 90 #'s now and feel so much better, and I also am much happier with the way I look. (baggy skin excluded) I'm 54 yrs young now and had been over 200#'s for over 10 yrs. so that was to be expected. I gave some thought to having some tucks here and there, but I really can't afford it so...
Well, I guess this is a good start and I look forward to getting to know you guys and hearing from you.
Later, Joanie :o)

Hello Slowmover54,
Congrats... you have done very well, I was also banded in 2006, May 11th 2006, in San Antonio, I live in Corpus Christi I have since lost just over 50lbs. like you said bad habits die hard, my problem is going for the fills I think I take a long time inbetween due to liking the eating-more freedom yet it stunts my progress, I had a fill in Feb and my weight is moving again, hope we can get together and do something to encourage each other... Talk to you soon

Well, I'm working on getting it together....went walking with a friend this morning and may go to the gym with the hubby when he gets home from work. Gonna walk again in the am. I feel good. Had a good lunch and just am feeling generally good about being back on track. Aren't friends wonderful.

Hey ya'll, I just wanted to share my good news...I finally got below
150 lbs. Besides trying real hard to eat right, I've been going to the gym
and our pool just opened and I've already gone 2x. Did some laps and walked in the shallow end, and also layed out for some sun. I'm really excited to have the weight dropping again...it seems like forever since I got down to the 150's.

Thanx for listening, and I hope ya'll are doing as well. later, Joanie :o)
