1 year anniversary!

Like everyone in this group will do this month, I just had my 1 year anniversary of my revision from the band to the DS. I went from 440lbs down to 259lbs as of yesterday. (I'm 258 today!) My blood pressure had gone down, I can exercise and even jog a tiny bit, I have a lot more energy and I'm loving life. I hit the gym 3 days a week with my personal trainer and I'm doing 5-6x per week of cardio. I'm so happy that I had the DS - I have hope of losing that next 60 pounds and getting to 199, then further hope to see my goals of 170 then 149. Lots of supplementing for me, and I drink 2 protein shakes per day (as a DS, I can process more protein than a lot of the rny folk can) and get my 64oz water, and try to keep my protein over 120 and my carbs under 100.

Your pictures are incredible, what a change! Congratulations, you look great. Becky

Jill, Congrats! Your pictures are so cool! I wish I had kept as good a visual track of my weight loss as you did. You can really see the difference between months. Way to go!!!
