My question is how many times have you successfully lost weight on your own and then ended up gaining it back? For me, I knew I could lose the weight (well at least half of it) but I would eventually gain it and more back. The band for me is a way to help me not only take off the weight but also KEEP it off for good. It's an amazing tool and if you are already eating well and exercising it will only help you be MORE successful. Good Luck!

Way to go!! That's exciting!!

Welcome to the fam! It's a great tool if you use it right and put forth the effort to be a success. I wish you luck!

I'm so excited! I hit ONEDERLAND this morning. I can't believe it. I know I haven't seen a 1 at the beginning if my weight in at least 11 years!!!! I love my band. Best best best thing I have ever done for myself. Thank you everyone for the support you give on here it really helps!!!

You can add me I'm goalseeker32 Keep at it and in sure the pounds will start to come off.

That's so wonderful!! Congrats and good luck on your new journey!

Woo Hoo!! That is fantastic!! Keep up the good work!

Here's a picture of me at my best friends bachelorette party last April and me getting ready for my date with the hubs tonight.

I do Insanity four days a week and run two other days. I rest on most Sundays unless we make our days activities "active". That's a lot easier without football

Thanks again everyone love this forum

Before I started this journey I couldn't run ONE mile without stopping and feeling like my heart was about to explode. This morning I ran 3.25 miles without stopping and even felt like I could go further. I averaged a 10:55 min mile which excites me even though its still pretty slow. The frustrating part is I get three different numbers for calories burned. The heart rate monitor says 400, the my fitness pal app says 480 and mapmyrun says 720???? I decided to go conservative in my journaling so I don't accidentally over eat....but WTH?!! The difference is nuts.

Checking in at.....199.7!!!!!! Down 3.4 this week to finally get to ONEDERLAND!!! So excited I know I haven't seen a one on the scale for at least 11 years.

I love that prediction. It was so exciting to see it under 200 lbs but I'm still not there but I'm close it totally motivates me. I'm glad to know someone was keeping track to see how accurate it is. Congrats in your hard work and commitment.

I did start with c25k about 4 mo after surgery. I am doing that and insanity. I made it to about week 4 or 5 of C25k and decided to go for it. I tried running 3 miles without stopping and could do it. It wasn't quick but I did it.

I LOVE IT!!! Congrats!

Good for you!! It is totally going to help you be more prepared for surgery and after. Keep going even when it gets tough and you will see results too. If you haven't taken a before picture you should. You'll be surprised how much your body will change.

HOT DAYUM!!! You look great!!!! Congrats and thanks for the inspiration!

I started walking around the block right away because it helped me with the gas pains. I didn't start anything rigorous till 6 weeks out but would walk for 30 min 4 times a week from week 2.

Wow!!! That's AWESOME!!! Congratulations!
