It's my one year bandaversary! 82 pounds lost and a whole lot of knowledge gained. I'm glad I did it, but it's been a long learning curve for me. I'm slightly disappointed I haven't lost more, but that's the way it is, I guess. I've struggled with a lot of things this year: problems with my two teenage kids, money issues, career issues, and most of all my chronic bad health. So to lose this much is a win.

How is everyone doing? I would like to find a water aerobics class as well. I have fibromyalgia as well as chronic fatigue syndrome. I guess it's been 2.5 weeks since I've last posted and I've lost another 3 pounds. I'm just impatient!

Hi Topazz, I have an appt with Dr Geiss's office on Thursday. I have been struggling with too-loose and too-tight bands. I can't seem to fnd my sweet spot. I should probably go to a support group but I just have so little time and energy. And I really dislike eating slowly and in tiny pieces, so that's been hard for me too, but I'm getting better about it! I just need to keep going. I'm just disappointed because I thought I'd've lost more weight by now. But hell, let's kick some butt, November bandsters!

Hi guys! Let's support one another! My weight loss has been stuck for four months and I find it depressing and shameful. I haven't been back here because I've thought that everyone else would be sporting 100+ losses and it would depress me.

Hi everyone! I haven't been exercising because I've been ill so much--first I had a three-week migraine and now I've got the flu. Blecch. Also, I'm still not at good restriction--really hungry a lot of the time, though I do get food stuck, because I am an idiot who cannot ever remember not to wolf my food down. Still, weight loss is continuing, though not as quickly as it should be, I think.

I have fibromyalgia and my doctor suggested Lyrica to me today. She also said it may cause weight gain. Oh, HELL NO! I'll try it, but the minute my weight loss slows, I'm off it. Has anyone here had any experience with Lyrica?

You guys are doing great! WOOHOO us! Lashonda, I too want to get to 195 or so...sometimes it seems like it's so far away. My goal is no more double chin by my birthday, April 7. I don't know if I can do it!

I am here and I am feeling good!

I know. I've gotten some comments on looking smaller, but I wonder if they are just being supportive. I just want my doublt chin gone by my birthday (4/7). We shall see!

How's everyone doing? I too got very busy and went away to Aruba for a week (where I ate and drank like there was no tomorrow--the mango/passionfruit daiquiris with meyer's dark rum? HEAVEN), but I'm back on track now.
