November Update

I just wanted to give a quick update because it has been a couple of months since my last entry. Busy with my daughter’s wedding and she is now happily married. I've been stuck at 170 for about a month now and went to the fill station and received a small fill. Hopefully this will kick the weight loss back into gear. I haven't had a fill since April. I also haven't exercised in two weeks but I changed that starting yesterday. I'm planning on my first 5K in March 2013! Run for Life!! I have

August Update

I just wanted to touch base and give an update! I am feeling wonderful and very excited. I now weigh 176lb and had to buy some new pants. Yes I bought a size 12 and was grinning like a fool in the dressing room. The feeling was AWESOME! I was feeling really down the last couple of month but since I broke the 180 mark it seems I am back on track and feel great!   I am just taking one day at a time. I still keep a food diary which I know really helps me. I am running 3 times a week and

Broke The 180 Mark!!

I had my aftercare appointment today and I broke the 180 mark. FINALLY! I weighed in at 178.2 today. After talking to the NP we decided not to do a fill. She stated "You have lost more than 66% of your body mass and we except 50% at the one year mark." She also stated "You have lost a great deal already now you are just going to have to change things up." So we decide to change up my exercise routines and see if a see better results in the weeks to come. I do see my doctor next week and I

July Update

Nothing has changed in the last two month weight wise. I'm still hovering between 181 and 182. I seem to have hit a hard plateau and struggling to get over it. I am still sprinting every other day and have added toning exercises on the days I’m not sprinting. I’ve stopped my morning walk at work because it is too HOT to come back presentable, LOL!!   I love :wub: the way I feel and can’t wait to drop the next 30 lbs. I do have an aftercare appointment next week and a doctor’s appointment

June Update

I just wanted to stop by and give a quick update. I'm still losing weight at a slow pace. I am a very inpatient person but I'm hanging in there. I feel great and that the most important thing. I have dropped 4 sizes since being banded and it is a great feeling to be out of the PLUS size clothing! I completed week 6 of the C25K and my doc stated he wanted me to continue with sprinting because it burns more calories. So I have been doing this around the neighborhood because the weather has been g

Week 5 C25K

I started week 5! I was easier than last week. Which I am happy about because the last few weeks have been killing me. Also had an aftercare appointment today and down to 186! I have managed to loss about 8 lbs for the last few months but not this one. Oh well it has been a tuff one for me but I still lost and I am happy!

Week 4 C25K

Today I am starting week 4! I can't believe it. The first workout for each week has been difficult and then gets easier as the week goes on. I'm hanging in there and push myself to complete each workout. God bless me!! :wub:

Couch To 5K Workout 1

All I have to say is OMG ! I thought I was going to die or fall off the treadmill...   I kept seeing posts about this Couch to 5k and I had no idea, so I looked it up today. I found one for the treadmill and printed it out. Got home from work, changed and got on the treadmill with printout in hand. Mind you I have been sprinting every 5 minutes of my mile workouts but that was nothing compared to this 5k workout. Like I said I thought I was going to die or fall off. Now I am smiling as

Cleaning Out The Closet

I had a wonderful Saturday! I cleaned out my closet of all the clothes that were to BIG! What a wonderful feeling! I told my husband and he couldn't believe it. I had to send him a pic because he was at work. This is a big deal because I usually hang on to clothes but I know I will not be wearing them ever again so why hold onto the past when I have a bright future ahead! I think some shopping is in order. LOL Loving my band! :wub:

Woo Hoo

I'm down 8.2 lbs! I am loving my band and loving life.   I also found out they put in 2cc in my band last month and today the NP told me I only needed a small fill and she put in .5cc. Hopefully this will put me in the green zone because I am so close!   PS love updated my ticker!!!

First Road Trip

I will be headed to South Carolina tomorrow. This will be my first road trip since being banded. It will be interesting trip but hopefully my husband will drive most of the way and I can sleep. I don't want to be tempted to snacking. I just want to keep with my three set meals a day. I know once we arriving in SC I will be fine. I'm just worried about the actual drive there and back. Wish me luck!

My New Begining...

Hello! I am new to this website and blogging. There is a lot of new in my life at this time. I was banded on February 3, 2012 and I am a little over three weeks post-op. I have listed below what I have experienced over the last month.   Prior to surgery my doctor, Dr. Fox, had me on the South Beach Super-Charge diet phase 1. He doesn't believe in the liquid diet because you will be on liquids after the surgery. I lost 11 lbs. prior to surgery. The couple of days before surgery the center calle
