Well I need to jump back on the wagon. I lot 87lbs just to slowly gain 20 back over the last 2 years I can only blame myself anf the fact I have learned how to cheat really well. I am committed to get back to business! I want to be down the 20lbs by my October baniversary!

I have been banded for 18 months and I am so close to goal but the holidays came and I just stopped watching what i ate and started eating until it is uncomfortable. I know what foods I can cheat with and boy have I cheated. I have only gained 2 pounds back but I need to see the light again and get back on track. I can not find the motivation I once had when I started this journey. Thanks for listening!

a little late posting as I have started a second job and have not gotten on in a while, no weight loss this week but i bet next week i"ll have dropped a pound.

down 1.5lbs wooo hooooo

I agree with you and that is why it is hard because my husband is stubborn and believes that she has may the choice that the dog is way more important, mainly because his mom told him hands down no questions the dog would be gone.

the dog was a puppy when my mom got her, she is now 6 years old. She does show aggresive behavior towards other animals that are even larger than her always trying to attack them. She has been around my 9 year old daughter and my 3 year (she was the one bit). I have never tried to take her food but she has attacked my moms cat for going near her food bowl. The dog has had no training.

Just a little more info for those who may not know how to answer and those who have. We were on a camping trip the 2nd day into trip the dog was chained in tent and my daughter was in my lap in the tent on the phone and the dog attacked her, we are not sure if the fan got the dog, or if she was irritated by the heat or what. I completley understand if she was taunting the dog then she would be partly at fault. Another reason my mom will not let go is the dog is the dog she and my dad got 6 months before he passed away suddenly and I think that is the reason she refuses to let go.

My mothers dog bit my daughter in the face and I am fighting with my husband and my mom because my mom will not get rid of the dog. My mom watches my girls twice a week at night while I go to school and up until now it was at her house where the dog is located. My husband refuses to let the girls go to my moms house now and request she come to our house to see girls and watch them. my questions are these: Should my mom get rid of the dog? Is she choosing the dog over her granddaughter? If she locks the dog up is that a realistic option? (my husband thinks she will eventually stop locking dog after this all dies down) Please help I need all the answer to help fight this battle.

Congrats to all of you on jobs well done. I visit the site at least every other day to give me inspiration and motivation to continue on the journey. I want to lose 12 more pounds by my bandaverisary of 10/07. And utimatley I want to see if I can get to 126lbs however I really feel sexy right where I am at and just want to lose a little more so that the clothes fit a little better in some places. Good Luck to everyone!:biggrin:
