My 1 year bandiversary was January 16th. Its hard to believe. I've lost 123 pounds since surgery and 169 total. I've lost 71.50 inches which equals 5'11.50" (from January to January). I LOVE MY BAND!
I had my first fill on January 20th and it went well. He gave me .75 cc's and I had 3 in there from surgery so I'm now up to 3.75. He said I should have had at least 6 or 7 fills by now but I'm a unique patient  He said its official, I have lost more than any of their band patients. That made me feel good.

I'm 7 pounds from goal and I have definitely slowed down! I knew I would but its still frustrating since I'm almost there. That's okay, it will happen.

Whoo Hoo! I finally have a normal BMI!!! I started out as morbid obese, then obese, then overweight and now normal! I think I started out at a 52 and now I'm 24.5! I'm 7 pounds to goal and my 1 year bandiversary is next Friday, the 16th!!!!! I love my band!

This past Saturday my DH and I ran our second 5k and we both came in first in our age groups! It was AWESOME! A year ago I never would have even THOUGHT about doing this. It such a feeling of accomplishment!

I'm down a total of 158.50 pounds and when I went to the weight loss seminar in March of 2007 I weighed 316 pounds so I am officially half the woman I was! Its hard to believe and hard to comprehend! I love my band!!!!!

I ran my first 5k today and it felt AWESOME!!!! I did it in 31:03 and I know what I need to do next time. It was a tough run though because it was 13 degrees outside. Yikes! It was an incredible feeling to do it and all I could think about was the journey I've been on. I NEVER would have even considered doing this last year. I love my band!!!!

Today I hit the 150's! WOW! I feel somewhat "normal" now. That's a weird statement but its true - I remember weighing in the 160's when I was in high school but I don't ever remember the 150's. AND I bought a size small shirt today. That was a great feeling.

Only 1.5 more pounds and I will be half the woman I was! Hopefully next week

I made my first goal! I've lost 151 pounds total and 105 since surgery. I now weigh 165 and that's very hard to take in. I want to weigh 140 so I'm going for it!
I went to the Dr. this past week and he said I was his best band patient he's had. I had lost 31 pounds since the last time I was there 3 months ago so no fill for me! I hope to be at my next goal by the time I go back for my 1 year bandiversary.

Its crazy to look at my ticker and know that I'm only 2 pounds from my first goal! Wow! I will probably go about 20 or 25 lbs below that but just knowing I'm almost there makes me soooo happy! 149 pounds ago I never thought this would have happened. I thought I was destined to always be overweight. If I can do this then anyone can!!!
My next Dr appt is this Tuesday and I haven't seen him in 3 months. I've lost over 30 lbs since then so I have a feeling he won't give me a fill. That's okay with me, I still have restriction without having the tight restriction that some people have. I don't think I want that. I know when to stop eating and I only eat the things I'm suppose to. I've truly changed my lifestyle! The band is around my head too!!! :)

I am finally overweight instead of obese!!!! That makes me soooooooo happy!!!!!!!! I can't wait to be normal! Well, at least with my BMI!
I wore size 12's Tommy Hilfiger capris this weekend. I say the brand name because I can finally wear "normal" clothes. What a great weekend!

Things are still going good for me! I don't regret my decision one bit! This is the best thing I could have ever done! I weigh less than my husband and that is AWESOME! I don't even remember the last time (if ever) that happened. Still no fill. Its been just over 7 months and I still have restriction. I exercise 6 days a week including jogging. We jog for 4 miles and I NEVER thought I would do that. I will definitely be doing a 5k!
