Wow- one year

So its been a year since I found this site and essentially started my journey.

I started at 284lbs. Im 210lbs today. I would love to have lost 100 lbs by my bandiversary March 4. Should be doable.

My eating habits have changed drastically, and yet I really don't feel deprived. I just don't need to eat what/the way I used to anymore.

I'm sleeping better then I have in years. I think it is a combination of less weight and more activity. A motivated day makes for blissful sleep.

I love being able to shop in the 'regular' sections. I think it is important to have a few good outfits that fit well. Seeing my body change toward what I dream is very exciting.

I never had an operation or was hospitalized before being banded. Now I'm seriously thinking about plastic surgery. I'll be trading a few scars for the body of my dreams. Doable.

Wow! You've really been doing a great job. I hope you reach your goal of 100 lbs. lost before your bandiversary. You are an inspiration to us all. Keep up the good work!

Congratulations. You have done a great job. Keep it up.

Congrats I hope I do as well as you have

Wow I know what you mean about buying in the regualar section, I am looking forward to that. N girl if you have made this far you will make the 100 by your bandiversity
