1 year Bandiversary (pics)
Today is my 1 yr bandiversary.
and what a year it has been! I am down 80 lbs. I'm off all my b/p and gerd meds. I have so much more energy and feel like I'm 27 instead of 47. The last few months the loss has slowed down, but when I did the numbers this week I realized I'm still averaging 1 lb per week. And
Drumroll please this am ..just in time for my bandiversary the scale said 199..ONDERLAND.
Haven't bee there since...1990!
I've learned alot about myself and my band this year. It is a journey. I'm still on it and struggle. But I know I wouldn't have been able to do this without my band.

Aww thanks all. I love this board, it has been so incredibly helpful to me and there are some really wonderful people on it. Lisa and Kristi you guys have always been such and inspiration to me.
Part of the learning for me has been realizing..this is NOT a race. It's about getting your head in the right place and being consistent. Knowing some days are good, others are not..some days are tight, some are loose. But with my band I know I really can only eat so much NO matter what my head says..and really that is such a good thing (even when I might think it isn't LOL)
