55lbs down and more to go!!!

I am just getting started ! Had my surgery on dec 29th 2010 ! I'm doing really well so far I've lost 55lbs and I get my first fill is in a week and a half! I've struggled with my weight my whole life and I let it take control of me and I had reached my highest weight at 440 lbs and now I'm down to 385lbs still more to go but I know I'm on the road to success! I'm taking control of my weight! I've done a a lot of praying to help get me through and a lot of support! I'm not quiting I'm going to beat my weight! I've had health problems and my gosh enough is enough ! I'm starting to get happiness back about myself that I hadn't had in along time and it feels good! =) ><>

Great job you two! I get banded on Feb 1st and can't wait! I am doing my pre op diet and weighed 3 days ago (6 lbs lighter) I can't wait to share how much I have lost after my surgery. Great job on 30-55lbs in less than a month though! WOW! That's inspiring!!! :)

Keep up the good work and as I suffer though sciatic nerve pain right now, I hear ya on the "enough is enough" with the health problems!!!

May God be with you,

Luvmyband..you can "hear" your enthusiasm!! That is so awesome!! Keep up the awesome job!! Yea, you may have more to go but take it in small increments..lay out your plan and you will reach your goal before you know it. I think sometimes when you say I have 100 or 150 lbs to lose it sounds like such a huge number but if you break it down into..well for your since you are going to fast I am not sure..but I did 25 lb increments and the next thing I new 130 lbs were gone (11 months).

I want to keep hearing you..so stay focused and remain positive!! Take care!
