Banded March 18 and down 40lbs, I am sure I could of done better, but as I always say, I am headed in the right direction. My goal is to lose another 20 by next March, then in my second year lose the other 60. The reason I chose the band is because I want to be able to do some of my own work, my own discipline, and I think with the band you have to have your head in the right place. The band doesn't work only by itself, we need to work with it.

I was just thinking about our upcoming 1 year anniversary and thought I would bump our thread and see how everyone is doing.. I've been a little slow on the loosing but have finally hit 62 pounds gone this past week! I have recently started working out and have found myself in the gym at least 4 out of 7 days! I feel great, I'm down from a size 24 to a loose 18 tight 16. I can actually buy from a clearance rack now! *lol* How is everyone else doing?

I've been thinking about that too, TraumaNurse. I can't believe its almost been a year already!! Yesterday was exactly 11 months for me.

This morning I weighed in at 75.8kgs (167.1lbs). That's down 95lbs from this time last year .. I can't believe it!! I still don't see it when I look in the mirror. I see my sagging tummy, I see my massive thighs... I see everything but a shrinking body lol. But I guess that's what a good psychologist is for. I'm also going to take someone else's (sorry, for the life of me I can't remember who) suggestion of printing my before picture and pinning it up around the house/office to remind me of where I was.

I'm hoping I can drop another 5 lbs over the next month, as I'd like to say I lost 100lbs in a year.

Good to see how everyone is doing. Let's see here, at 8 months post op I was down 75lbs. Now I am 19weeks pregnant, and back up to 245 so that's a net loss of 60lbs. I must admit that I am a bit sad not to get to my goal of 100lbs loss by my 1 year anniversary March 30th. I'm already planning my post-baby weight loss :-)

~Parvathi~ WOW!! :clap2: :clap2: Congrats on your excellent weightloss! I am also struggling with the view in the mirror, just can't believe it's me... I bet you can get those 5 pounds to hit the 100# mark by march!

~Maysa~ Congratulations on your pregnancy!! Wishing you a happy and healthy nine months! You will rock at losing after the baby!

Well, at 10 months out, I'm down what, 30 pounds? Pardon me while I go rail at the universe.

[CaramelDiva1922 1]

[princess_n_thep 2]

57 so far. I am wanting to hit goal by March 23 but I don't know if that will happen. So long term goal is by summer......

[Jammin & Losin 1]

Well Here I come with another update I'm down 86 pounds now!!! I still have 14 pounds to hit 100.... don't think in 6 weeks I will make it!! Gonna give it my best shot! Bandiversary here I come!!! LOL!!!

Congratulations to all of you...everyone is doing great with lots of NSV's as well as lots of weight loss too!!

[Parvathi 2]

Well done, ladies!! Everyone's doing sooooo fantastic - March bandsters rock hehe

Crystal, remember .. that's 30lbs less than you were this time last year. That's also 10 months consecutively, in which you have NOT gained weight - you've lost. That's definitely an achievement! Go back and look through your NSV's - you are a success!

Not sure how many of us '05 March bandsters are still active on the boards, but figured we hadn't checked in since last February, so it is time. :biggrin1:

I have been at the same weight give or take 2 pounds for the last 4-5 months. In August I had a horrible "stuck", which ended with me having 1.5cc's removed leaving me with just 1cc in my band. The surgeon wanted me to wait 2-3 weeks with no further fills to allow for healing, then after schedule complications I will finally get another fill in 2 days. I need to get my butt back in the gym, and eating the right way!

Hope everyone is doing well.
