Well, it's been a while since I've posted. Mainly because I have been so frustrated and down about my band...For three months my scale did not move, despite repeated adjustments and hours of exercise everyday.

I'm happy to report thanks to my last adjustment a week ago, I have finally had a change in the number on the scale. I kicked the darned thing out of my bathroom and refused to look at it for a week. Low and behold this morning the number shocked me so much I had to take a picture! WHOOP WHOOP!!! :thumbup:

I am now 18 pounds from a goal that I had twenty one years ago. My sister had promised me that if I got down to under 200 pounds that she would buy me a new outfit. Fortunately, she's still willing to do that...can you say "SHOPPING TRIP"!!!!!!!:thumbup::wub::thumbup: Loving the shopping! It's so nice being able to go into a store, pick out the size and know that it's going to fit or that it's going to be a little big..Yup, I said it "BIG" hehe!!

Anyway, to all of those who may read this and feeling discouraged by your band, don't give up, just keep going back and getting fills and talking to your fill nurse, it helps.

Good luck to all! I'd love to hear from you!

Congrats on getting that scale to move. When you are feeling down you really should post. That is when you need support the most. We all get that way and understand your frustration.

Good point JeweI I'll work on that. I need to be diligent about being on the site it really is inspiring to read about what others are going through.

Thats awesome!!! I am so happy for you. Ps did someone say shopping!!! Hey! LOL

this is great to hear.

I have beel seeing the same # on my scale for the last 4 weeks. I only weigh myself once a week and it really gets me down. I did have some back problems where i had to take it easy on the workouts. But know i am 3 weeks away from my 3rd fill appt and i cant wait!!

I feel no restriction. my goal is to loose 5 lbs before my appt.

Congrats on you loss... it will be fun picking out your new outfit!!

good to hear about your progress, my scale has read about the same for the past 5-6 weeks. I think it is harder to lose when you get closer to your goal anyway, good to hear that you're still losing. ps. how is the date thing going? you haven't mentioned in a while. my dates so far have been -zero-.boo hoo, won't someone notice me??? yoo hoo... over here...
