I'll keep it short and sweet:

1. Banded one year ago today. About this time last year I was enjoying the lovely hospital scene and 'walking miles around the floor' as the nurses put it. I hated that hospital, still do. Fits its nickname perfectly -- St Agony (Agnes) hospital :) Nothing like being written the wrong pain med prescription and being told no Gas-X strips because of sugar; duh.

2. Down 116lbs; weighing in at 130.6lbs last Sunday. My goal is 125lbs, which I plan to lower. Started at a lazy size 20, now wearing size 2s.

3. I did this all without any fills. I workout like a mad woman and love it! I also track my food/portion out everything I eat. Keeps life easy for me.

In the end, thanks guys for all your help here! The good and the bad, you're all helpful in your own ways, especially the band-vets here. (Bette, Kate, Jean, etc.)
