Hi, I am Rhonda,

I was banded on April 1, 2013 I have lost 48 pounds since surgery. my starting weight was 296. I am 55 years old and I seem to be a slow learner with this new way of life and slow to take off the weight. I still have 100 pounds to go to goal. I hope to learn from you all and continue to loose. :smile:

    Hello, All. I'm Denise and I have struggled with weight my entire adult life, as well as childhood. I love this site but am looking for encouraging, supportive friends as I tend to fall off the wagon by evening and then succumb to my cravings and binge eat. Any and all support greatly appreciated!

    Good morning, Rhonda. You are doing great. I am your age and it is very hard to lose. I lost about 55 pounds this summer and then gained all but 15 back. I was the same starting size as you. Please don't be discouraged by the amount of pounds to lose to get to your goal, but focus and look at how great you've done to come this far. 48 pounds lost is great!!!! You are very attractive and have a great smile!
