Thanks to everyone who posted! I've lost 32 pounds since being banded Jan 29th, 2007 and for the last few weeks,,I've only lost 2 pounds, I KNOW it's a lack of exercise and getting time for my first fill. I joined a nice gym and have only been a few times. I cant seem to work up teh enthusiasm to go. I'm divorced,,not working at the moment, wayy out in the country,,no friends to go to the gym with,,all TERRIBLE excuses. Time to get my behind in gear and make it happen. Thanks for sharing,,I dont feel so alone.

Hi Deb,

You are definitely among friends here. I ran into the same problems as you, as I live way out in the country and when I get home from work the last thing I want to do is to head back to town. I don't know if this would be an option for you, but I decided to take the $$ I had spent the previous year on my Curves membership (that I only used about 10 times in a year) and bought a treadmill. Until recently, I had been using it about as much as my Curves membership, but now I'm actually moving. I have decided that when I get down to 199# I will start adding weights, but for now, the baby steps of the treadmill are working.

The other good thing is that with the days being longer and with the weather being nicer, once I lose a little more weight I plan to start walking outside. My dog is as fat as I am and we both can use the fresh air and the exercise!
