  22. hello Courtney... This month is a year since I went for my first appt with my nutritionast .... All I can say is I cant believe how good I feel because of my health for one...how proud my family are for me and just how I always feel like moving now....at that first appt I was 257 and mind you Im only 5'1" soooo mighty round I was...also I was 53 and felt why even bother now...today Im 170 and smiling...walking and enjoying my children every day...and the compliments dont hurt either... I think the time from first appts to banding to meeting goal is so differant for everyone...but I know its all so worth it...I wish you luck on your journey...
