Looking for other slow losers!

Hello slow losers, I am so happy to see this post! I am very much in need of this post . I had a lapband in July 2006 ,I have only lost twenty five pounds [ aNd I know 5 of those were water] and most of that weight was from post surgery week, however I have dropped pant sizes in stead of gaining pant sizes, I was gaining 3-5 pounds of year no matter what. So far I went from size 22 to 16 and dang-it I look[ am sexy] , men [ and my man] are starting to look at me again. I am shopping for smaller sizes and giving away clothes! But the exercise is the key = I can walk and dance and take stairs .. So I know I am ok. Yesterday I had my second fill. Today ,I'm on liquids and fighting the urge move to solids. I known this is an food addicts issue , my whole jounery so far has been steps in recovery from overeating , this band is a tool . So I have invested in food containers and will pack lunch ,dinner etc, I will take this new year resolution as one I can make [finally!!] with this tool I will be able to keep my goals for the first time in a decade. Ibelieve for me the first few month i had to deal with my bad habits [ a lot] now i got a grip on the mental resistance [ I was eating bags of candy after i had stopped for six weeks post surgery, this was a demon i had to accept as real. So we gonna make it slowwwww-ly. I AM FIRMING UP AS I go ,I don't want to sag[ and bag it] more than I have to. You go girl! Halima in philly

I have lost slowly too. I was 275 at surgery on 7-10-06 and now I am 214. I know I could do better, as I still snack too much at night.
