Who was banded in November and how much weight have y'all lost to date?

I was banded in November 2013; you can see my ticker below. The weight loss aspect is great, however there are so many other wonderful things about being banded. So happy to be out of food jail, not on a diet, embracing fitness, liking who I am and choosing myself first......amazing transformation.

I was also banded November 2013; likewise you can see my progress through my ticker. I took a little break for the summer, which doesn't mean that I was eating anything and everything but I did try to enjoy it with family and friends and for the first time was not about the food it was more about me enjoying life and building better friendship and getting closer to family. I still have a way to go but I'm happy with the decision I made and I'm looking forward to a better and healthier life.

@@yaya1397 way to go! We have very similar stats -- interesting. Started at the same place and now at same weight. I am gearing up for the next ten -- have not been in a huge hurry and feel like my real focus now is fitness, but I'm buckling down a bit now after a summer of socializing. Did not go overboard with eating but frequency was up -- I stop when I need to but tend to go back too soon if it's a food-centered social event. Loving being right-sized now, "normal" -- and how good that feels. I'm not aiming for skinny-Minnie -- don't like that -- but I want another chunk gone. Have a great autumn!

@@Bandista Yes, similar stats...Too funny! my exact goal for my one year band anniversary is to be ten pounds lighter, even if its 179.9. I take that! but if I don't reach that goal I'll be ok because I know I'll get there sooner or later. Now like you said, summer is over, so time to get back on track!!
