I was a yo-yo dieter all my adult life (over 35 years) with my highest weight being 298. In September of '06 I weighed 267 and had the lap band surgery done in Mexico. It still takes work and discipline, but it is a great tool that gives the help I need to lose weight and the hope of keeping it off forever!

I currently weigh 186. For the first time in 31 years I am wearing jeans again and have in my sights my goal weight of 135 pounds.
