3 Year Bandiversary!

Happy 3 Year Bandiversary to me! What a ride! This has been the best decision I ever made for myself. As of today, I have lost 103 pounds (412 sticks of butter) and 76 inches (6.3 feet) Some advice from me: Don't give up! Don't get discouraged. When the weightloss slows, know that your skin is catching up and shrinking too! Don't "test" yourself. Don't try naughty foods just to see if you can handle them. I stayed away from bread for more than the first 1 1/2 years. I feel bad when people say they can eat a subway sandwich. I think why did you even try to? Just more fat and calories! Do reward yourself even for the little accomplishments! Do take your measurements! I would never have believed that I have lost 14 inches from my hips, 12.5 inches from my thighs and 11 inches from my waist. We just don't remember how big we were before. Good Luck to you all! Keep up the good work and keep those chins coming off! Tasha banded 8/11/03 274/171/I'm happy!

Congratulations! That is an awesome accomplishment!!!
