2 years out

[Scorpionrn 0]

Hi everyone, my name is Becca. I had surgery on July 28th of 2008. So far I have lost 100lbs. It should be more, but I fell into some old habits that I'm trying desperately to break...again:mad:. I started out at 330lbs and today I am 231. I WAS 216 about 3 weeks ago:confused:, but I love to cook and got on a baking binge. So now, I'm not allowed to bake, haha. Before and after pics coming soon. OOPS...I had surgery 2007! 3 years out! Wow, has it been that long??

Hi Becca, glad to have you here on LBT. It can be a great support system. I also love to cook and bake and even banded I still do so but I just don't do it for myself anymore I cook for my DH and pawn a lot off on the kids and grandkids. I always tell the DH I eat vicariously through them. Sad but true the whole time they are eating I ask if it's good how it taste what else I might could put in it to make it better. It's a bad habit but at least I'm not eating it. I was also banded 2yrs ago on July 22 and think I should have lost a little faster but I'm terrible when it comes to exercise. Start and stop, just can't seem to keep it going. I'm losing though and they say slow and steady wins the race. Good luck on your journey. Never make a sad face when saying you've lost 100lbs that's a great feat and you should be proud of yourself. I know I am. So instead of a sad face I'm gonna give you a :thumbup: WTG!

Thank you so much Kimaly!!! The sad face was actually because I gained about 15 lbs! Which was due to my...baking...that I couldn't give ALL away! So, how much weight have you lost in 2 years? I am really trying to get back on the band (no pun intended) wagon! I have a fiance' that is real big into fitness and health, so he is pushing me!! We should keep in touch, we are almost exactly the same time out!! It would be fun to compare notes!:thumbup:

I've lost exactly 100lbs I only have 2 more to goal but everyday still seems to be a struggle. I wish my spouse was into fitness maybe that would push me but as much as I love the hubby he's a couch potato. The most he does is drive the boat on sundays, he thinks fishing is his weekly activity LOL I'm not much better when it comes to exercise I just start and stop over and over again. We have a July master thread where those of us that are still trying to get to our goal or just support one another keep in touch, There's only about 4 or 5 of us out of more then 100 that still go there but it really helps me. We were all banded July of 08 and would love to have you join us. Just go to the search and punch in July master Thread and it should come up if you want too. You won't be the only one that has gotten off track and are trying to get back on I promise just come by and introduce yourself they are a great bunch of girls and will welcome you with open arms.
