I just wanna say " I FEEL GOOD"!!!!
I am a changed person on the outside, and I am starting to change on the inside within my mind. I had this mentality of the big girl that I was. I am still considered plus size, but totally not on the same level.
I have my wedding photo on my desk at work and lately my new clients have said, "thats a beautiful picture, whos the bride?", " Wow, Is that you?"...and so on... And I'll say that its me, then I see the embarrassment on their faces, or they'll say something polite like, "you were pretty then, but you are beautiful now!"
For someone like me, hearing all these compliments are a little overwhelming, and wonderful for my self esteem.
I am now just embracing the weight loss, because in my mind I still felt fat eventhough my body was shrinking. My hubby is loving it, he actually said that he has a "trophy wife", thats the first time I heard that, it stunned me. Its just giving me motivation to keep going.
My health is GREAT, and I can forsee a brighter future. Now I am ready for the world and I see it in a new light with new possibilities. LapBand is the best thing I have ever done for my self and my family and I get emotional just thinking about it because it saved my quality of life.

Go girl! you got me on the verge of tears I am so happy for you! I plan to be in your shoes by this time next year. I know its a process and I am up for the challenge. I hava hubby and he says "dont loose too much weight" then when I say boy ima be skinny soon. He seems to glow more than me. I know he loves me for me and thats all that matters on that note but getting my body back after 4 children...thats for ME! Ims get my sexy back ladies! lol

Awesome! Well deserved!

I love hearing this! we all deserve to love ourselves...

Awesome!!!! You go girl!

I hope to get to that mindset soon, Its almost like theres supposed to be something more to do, but there isn't. I've been eating like I should, watching water/drink intake, sleeping enough hours. Because of my weight I never worried about fashion, looking at racks of thin clothes always going to the XL sizes, but now there are a few tops I had gotten that are L and they fit!
Congratulations girl, I'm right behind you

Good for you!

I am Certain Beer is what Made me a Jolly Fellow!

WoW Sharilo, Looks like you are doing everything right. You should be proud of your diligence and good health habits now. I know the numbers on the scale mean alot, but all in all you are doing great. You have reduced your calorie intake and you are doing well getting in your Proteins. I would suggest more aggressive cardio and strength training through the next 2 weeks. For Example, Zumba Class or Curves, Eliptical Machine at the gym. That has helped me get some extra pounds off. I wish the best for you.
