[LivinNY 0]

Hi April 2005 bandsters... just wondering how you all are doing...

its now 9 months and I have lost 45lbs and feeling wonderful... I have gone from a 22/24 to a 16/18 and couldn't be happier with myself... I have cleaned out my closet and have 3 bags of clothes to give away... now I have room for all my new clothes...

So... lets hear from you all... HOW YA DOING?

I have lost 24 pounds and continue to struggle to lose every pound. However I have lost one pound over the holidays. I am so happy I didn't gain!

I am wondering what it would look like if we post the precentage of weight lost to goal this year instead of the pounds.

I think I have lost 40% of the weight I need to lose.

If my goal weight is 145, I needed to lose 78 pounds from banding. I have lost 34 pounds so far. That's about 45% I think? Someone help with the math!!!

My high weight was 240+ so I'm down over 50 pounds from 2 years ago.

I love my band. I'm a bit paranoid about erosion, other than that, banded life is great!!!

Hello Angeleyes...

I think using percentages is a super idea... lets see that would put me at about 45% for me... almost 50.. looks good to me..

Keep up the good work!

Hi Kathy..

Why are you so paranoid about erosion?... are you having any problems..?

You seem to be losing well...

So how are all of your April 2005 Bandsters doing now? I haven't heard from many of you lately. I am still struggling but hanging in here. Still have about 18 pounds to lose.

Hi there....

I am still here.. been a long long time since I posted... kinda staying away..

Reality... my band is full to capasity and I have little to no restriction.. really considering having it removed...

I have lost about 35 - 40 pounds... and now I am yo yoing 5-8 pounds up and down... really depressing... really thought I would at goal by now.. now I am just happy I am not gaining the 35-40 pounds back ... okay.. just rattling on here...
