I haven't posted or been on this site in so long. I think it's time to sit back and take a look at everyone. When I was banded on June 29, 2009 - I was addicted to this site and to the comraderie I felt with all of you. I've kind of let that go, and I really miss the support. I'm enjoying my "banded" life. I make mistakes frequently but have managed to lose, and keep off 60# with very little effort.

My life changed significantly when my mom died in October as I am now caretaker for my 102 year old feisty grandma - it leaves me little time for thinking about my band.

How are you doing Lucky Dog and Bashful and BG - you were all such inspiring women for me - time to get back in touch.

Have a great week. Love to you all!

Hey, band buddy, Glad you are back. I missed my band Buddy so much. HOW ARE YOU???? I am so happy to read your blog today. I just got back from bring my daughter back to school in Vermont her spring break is over. It rained the entire drive....

I met a goal of mine and I went skiing this past winter and had a blast with my family. My weight is still coming off. That is a good thing. I am not at goal and the nutritionist would not set one for me yet she says I am still too far away. I have lost 97 pounds. I also had to have a un-fill last week.

BG has her own NEW BLOG page I am sure she will tell you about. It is GREAT!!! You do have a lot to catch up on. Thank goodness we can go back and read all we want on this site. It always helped me keep my paws out of the cookie jar.....

I have been making all my own foods. I do eat out but when I do I try so hard to make better choices. I have lost 97 pounds and they have asked me to speak at a newbies info session. I am a little nervous as I have made many mistakes but the nurse likes how positive I am and says I will be a good person to talk too.

We should have a party for your granny. Bless her you do have your hand full. Keep blogging it helps to pass the time.

Thinking of you. imaluckydog
