2013: 20 Funny New Year's Resolutions
When it comes to New Year's resolutions, our family members and friends can get quite creative and even funny with what they resolve to do in the New Year. Here a few good ones I have heard along the way...Oh, and a few of my own!
1. I resolve to stop procrastinating about procrastinating!
2. I will stop sending Facebook messages and emails to my loved ones when they are in the same room as I am!
3. I will use my treadmill for something other than a place to hang my jacket.
4. I will not sit at the kitchen table in my PJ's all day. Instead, I will move my computer to my bedroom.
5. I vow to never take a laxative and a sleeping pill on the same night!

Hi Everyone. I can't believe it's been this long since I've been part of the wonderful community that helped me to loose all my weight. I'm inspired reading everyones post. For a while I thought I was doing great maintaining my weight and realized it was normal to regain a few pounds after surgery. I continued to tell myself that for the past 6 years and today I look up and I am obese and miserable. I do know that my weight loss was a success but to some level I ignored the fact that it was a very real possibility that I could gain weight if I stopped excersising and ate poorly. I'm here as a reminder of the things that motivated me to loose in the first place. My entire family is overweight and no one seems to understand how I feel about being 190lb right now. They just keep saying "at least you're not as fat as before" My highest was 278. For a split second that gives me some comfort but it doesn't exactly change how I feel. I've been up and down hovering between 170-190 for years. My lowest was 147 and I loved how I felt. This time it just feels absolutely wrong for me to have gained 40+ pounds and content with that.
Just looking at this website and all of your success has definately motivated me to stay on and work toward my inital weight loss goal from 2002 of 130lbs. One day at a time. Thanks for reading and I welcome any suggestions or feed back.
The hardest thing is to know what you are capable of and not quite being able to acheive because you're in your own way.
I never felt restriction....only stuck. Even with being unfilled....if it was that time of the month I would gurgle on liquids....and knew not to eat anything solid that day.
All in all I had lost approx 12 lbs....in 5.5 years. I know the band may work for some people but it didn't do anything but feel like i was being strangled from the inside. I have never been able to eat a nice healthy meal...salads wouldn't even go down...and yes...I chewed until I had liquid in my mouth. I was a self made bulemic.
Since being unfilled in August my hair has started to have re growth.....I'm not starving all the time and yes, Ihave gained back my 12 lbs.
I am being revised in Jan to the DS. I cannot wait until this band is out of me. I only hope that this weight that Iplanned on losing in the first place comes off. I cannot wait to feel full again. I am one of the lucky ones.....my insurance covers revisions....good luck to you
How do you feel now? Do still feel the same? vsg 12/3/12 my wife 12/4/12 she regret the vsg and iam worry i feel the same.
