ddgal~ I'm in. It looks like we are in almost the exact same boat!!! I started at 278 and am down hovering in the 175-180 range right now. I was banded in June of 09 and am ready to get this last thirty or so off! I am recommitted and have been tracking my food, exercise, and Water at www.livestrong.com using their daily plate feature. When I was really losing weight in the beginning stages, I found that this tool helped me immensely! Do you like to cook? I've been working on some recipes to make this journey easier as well. I found a website that my dietitian recommended to count the calories in each recipe www.caloriecount.about.com Just a few suggestions! Thanks for starting this thread! Good luck to everyone!

Hey Meredith~I am glad to have a partner in crime along for the last stretch. Im not to good at trackin. I have tried it before but with little to no success. I do love to cook how ecver and am ALWAYS on the hunt for things that taste good and that are good for me, low fat, help to promote weight loss, yadaya. Im sure you feelt he same way in that we have come to far to reach our goal to not just buckel down and get it done. Please share any and all recipes that you have. I will plug mine into the website you gave me and check the calories on my creations...Im excited!

Count me in! I was banded 2 years ago today and had lost 100lbs, I never felt better and everything in my life changed and I regained 60lbs, I lost my focus and motivation along with my health insurance! I got a fill on December 27th and I do feel better, eating much slower and much much smaller portions. Actually feeling full again! I love it!! Had an appointment with a new NUT and all she was was a NUT so i'm back to the basics eating soft foods - no crunchy (thats just me reminding me) and taking it one day at a time. Next will be getting back to the gym and my fill follow up with my new doctor (move states) on the 27th of this month
