I could use a buddy/mentor

[iamshazza 41]

I'm in the Mason, Ohio area. Had my lapband about 4 years ago and did great then not so great and now I'm almost back where I freakin' started!

Was out of work and no insurance for a couple years but have just gotten back to the doctor a couple months ago for a fill (I have 5.5. cc). Have been doing well but I feel like it would help a lot to have a buddy/buddies and/or a mentor.

I track using my fitness pal. But now I'm stuck and even gained the past couple weeks. Going to the gym 3x's per week at least doing cardio and strength.

I feel...lost tho for some reason.

I was banded 4 years ago too and I know how you feel. I have never gained more than 6-8lbs but its easy to lose focus. Remember that this is our life commitment to ourselves. We took control of our life the day we had surgery.

Having a great support system is the best! My family and friends are so supportive and I could not have made it as far as I have without them. We are here for you, because we've needed a friend at times too.

I have created a 90 day challenge for me and my friends if you would like to join us. We start Aug 5th, and I'm still finishing some last touches to the meal plan and the exercise plan.

Email me if you are interested and I will let you know what to do. Don't worry, its a private group.

Hi thanks for the replies!! I'm interested in joining the challenge as well. While my family and friends are supportive I feel like I need some guidance from folks who've been banded. I'm doing better but I need an extra push :-)

I'm using the iPhone app and couldn't figure how to send you an email.
