Hello Lightweights!  Sorry I haven't posted here in awhile, but I have been reading...and commenting some (hoping to get the book proposals out soon, so working furiously).  Maintenance is great...up four pounds from our vacation to Cape May three weeks ago (yes, even skinny people gain a few pounds on vacation sometimes) and then today...poof...gone...-4.5 lbs....I feel like a 'normal' LOL! 

Fog at 1pm on the beach this day and they wouldn't let anyone in the water (weird...they said they've never seen it before) :

Weird things happening this week...I got two emails on Monday and after lots of emails back and forth (I was very wary at first, you'll see why) and me checking these out, it turns out that they were from each of the two Band manufacturers...I confirmed it was just a strange coincidence that these weren't linked in any way.  Realize Band wanted to use my pics and a testimonial for a major campaign (don't have that Band, so I turned it down).  I did however agree to the Allergan Band request.  I did an interview (they'd found my blog about this) about my hiking at the Grand Canyon last fall (no, not all the way down and back, but with only 50 lbs. off then I was proud of what I was able to do already).  It will be a short article (maybe a pic) with several other people for the website, to come out this Fall/Winter.  So there's my 15 min. of fame LOL.

Me on South Kaibab trail last fall, 5 months post-op, 50+ lbs. gone


So two great NSV's and a WL week...can't get any better!

 Big Kudos to you!  You've had a wonderful recovery with your Band and should be so proud of yourself for the hard work you've put into it.  How cool about the Band companies, but even cooler about the Grand Canyon hike.  :)
