I am starting January 9th. I have attempted it before. It is difficult, but if you do it at your own pace- it is always great. Look on youtube for BandedWendy, losingitwithrebecca or newtoy4kt. They have all done it and you can look in their vlogs to see their tips. They are all banders.. so they have great advice. Wendy is the farthest out (2.5 years) then Katie and then Rebecca. All great. Good luck!!
