6 month Post-OP Overweight NOW!!! w/photo

So today I had my 6 month follow up, my Doctor said I am down 55% of my excess weight which he said was really good. He said revisions sometimes progress a little slower than first time ops but that I was on track like as if I had never had that stupid band :)

Goal he set for me today was 140 which is pretty close to my personal goal. He told me my BMI is 29.87 making me overweight instead of obese!! How awesome is that. I am amazing at this process how much I have been able to learn and make this a lifestyle change, this time my mind is with me on this journey and it makes all the difference in the world. 

I have stalled for the past month and have been discouraged but the Doctor, NUT, and Psychologist made me feel so much better today. I am excited and have faith that this stall will break as long as I keep working out hard and eating correctly. 

Below is a before picture and then one taken last week for my birthday. 

you look amazing! keep up the good work

THANK YOU!!! You are where I hope too be at a year out! :)

Ceithlenn-you look amazing! You're eating right and your personal training sessions are INTENSE and look how it's paying off! You seriously are so tiny. You have to be close to goal? So happy for you and you deserve it because you have seriously worked for this!

DCgirl thank you SOOO SOO much! I am about 40 lbs from goal so I am getting close but I know that it is going to take a lot more time to get that 40 off than the first 80 lol. 

Thank you for your daily posts it keeps me honest and motivated. I get excited seeing everyones menus and what they are up to daily with exercise. 

Amazing!!!!
