You should be ashamed to admit this. You have clearly failed your band!

I love this sort of failure!! Well done!

Highest 290, Banded - 248 Lowest 139 (too thin!). Comfort zone 155-165.

Happily banded since May 2006. Regain of 28lbs 2013-14. ALL GONE!

But some has returned! Up to 175, argh! Off we go again,

I am completely ashamed. Obviously! That's why I had to post publically about it.

And yes, I totally failed my band, it failed me, we all failed each other. Especially my surgeon. He totally failed cause if he'd placed it just a little bit better I could have gotten to 100 lbs in a year.

But mostly I failed to refrain from all the cupcakes they've been shoving at us at work lately. Oh well...

Highest Wt: 274 / LAP-Band Low: 180 / Sleeved at 233 / Goal: 160!

You can too! We can all be failures :) Now, don't get me wrong, I really needed to lose about 120lbs. I just wanted to lose the first 100 in a year which is what I failed at. I plan on succeeding in the long run, it'll just take a little longer.

Thanks so much!!

I'm at your goal weight? Well, let me tell you there's still a lot of jiggly left here to spare. My goal has gone down as I've gone down. I used to think 180 lbs would be SKINNY!

Very funny, you naughty girl! Just by your title I was all geared up to give you a lecture! Failure my eye!

Hey, if you get Jean M's newsletter, check out the article by Tom about finding your next passion. It gives great insight on how to handle year #2 when your passion for losing dwindles, (becuase things slow down in general). It's a great article and aligns perfectly with the discussions I've been having with my therapist regarding that very topic.

Congratulations on a great year!

And speaking for your horse, thank you for losing 95 lbs!

Best~
