14 months Post-Op....Laura Key

Bet you guys thought I abandoned you? NAH...I am a Realtor and let's just say...things have not been so fun for a while and I have been working so hard and concentrating on my business I have not had much time to do anything else.

 

So, for now I will just give you a short update.

 

I am steady at 155lbs. Anything less and I look sickly. My goal was 170lbs but my body settled at 155lbs so I am happy with that!

 

I have lost a total of 125lbs.

 

My year anniversary was May 21, 2010!

 

I am a size 10 but I am being told some of my jeans look baggy so I plan to go try on some size 8's? REALLY...I think I will pass out if I get some of them to fit! HA

 

I am wearing strapless dresses! Something I thought I'd never be able to do and even though I have a little flab. I don't care!

 

I am at my sweet spot. I have 4cc's in my band. Anything more and I get sick real easy.

 

I love my new body!

 

I still have a hard time getting in exercise but I work hard at it.

 

I still do what I am suppose to do to be successful. No soda, no junk, no slider foods.

 

I have trouble with some foods. Lilith (my band) does not like chicken wings (baked or anything else) She had a bit of a time with some fish and my steaks have to be medium rare. I can eat almost anything else.

 

So...that's it in a nutshell! I am hoping to get active on here again. PRAY that things turn around!!!!!!!! I need to sell some houses!:laugh:

Why not go out on a limb? Isn't that where the fruit is?:cool:
