Good luck as you embark on your journey. They just changed the site. I am getting use to it myself. You are doing great as you have already figured out how to post to your blog!

Hi I have been using this site for a year and a half and I am at a loss now Not sure how to use this site any more. Everything looks so different. I will just need to keep blogging and see if I can get used to it. It is better than eating!

I was banded on June 29,2009 and I have lost 110 pounds in about a year. I am very happy working with my band. I am at a normal weight for me now and people call me skinny. Not sure I can agree with them but I have been over weight my entire life so I am a lot smaller. I am a petite size and when I shop I can always find something that fits. It never used to be that way.

If you have any questions maybe I can help. I have made my fair share of mistakes and have been able to survive and talk about it. All has been well and I would choose this LB over all the other measures I have tried in the past.

Best wishes on your journey and keep blogging no matter what the site looks like. It will be part of your success. imaluckydog

I was banded on 7/28/10 and I can truly say that it has been life changing for me. I was so ashamed of myself, I hid a lot, which meant missing time with my wonderful family. Since the band I have lost 45 pounds and have about 35 to go. I am now part of everything that goes on! I pay more attention to just about everything in my life.....except food! I eat healthy and am never hungry, so that part takes care of itself....though I have had to deal with my emotional eating and blogging on this site has helped! And like imaluckydog, I have made plenty of mistakes, but this time I am learning from those mistakes and not repeating them over & over! Two things you will see any "Bander" say is #1, the band is a tool that will help you but it's not a cure. #2, this is a journey, not a race! I wish you the best of luck, please keep us posted on your success!
