Wow you look FABULOUS!!!! Congrats!!

Woo HOOOOO!!! congrats! It is such and amazing feeling of accomplishment!

Recently, I began to ponder all the amazing things this surgery has given me. I absoutely would get a LapBand again if I had to go back in time. It has been the best thing that has ever happened to me...with the exception of hubby and kids obviously. So I thought I would make a list of all of these things. I know that reading stuff like this helped me to encourage me when I was starting out. Thank you LapBand for... 1. self-confidence-I now look in the mirror or at picture and am happy with the person looking back at me. Seeing the results of my efforts is priceless...I have reached goals I thought were just dreams. 2. control- I no longer feel controlled by food or the need to eat. Not being hungry or feeling deprived has allowed me to make good food choices MOST of the time. 3. health- I am healthier than I have ever been. My resting pulse is in the 60s, my blood pressure is low, my cholesterol is improving. 4. the desire to exercise- I exercise 6 days a week and have gotten to the point that if I miss my workout my day just doesn't seem right. I love the way it makes me feel and the way it is reshaping my body. 5. energy- I have so much energy to do active things with my children and family. 6. the ability to wrap a towel around myself after a shower!! 7. the ability to bend down and tie my shoes or buckle a pair of cute sandals without too much effort...and painting my toes is easier too. 8. not being hot and sweaty all the time 9. shopping in any store I want and any department of that store. 10. wearing a bikini...even if it is only in the back yard with my hubby and kids. 11. crossing my legs under a table with ease. 12. cute clothes...I've become a bit of a shopper as of late 13. knee high boots!!! 14. shopping at victoria's secret and of course I know there is plenty more that just won't come to mind. I started out at 255 and am now 175. I have 25 to go!! I have lost a total of 57 inches over my whole body...10.75 in my waist, 8 in my hips, 7 in my chest, 3 in both arms, 3.75 in both thighs, 2.75 in both calves, (it doesn't add up cause I'm not listing it all). I couldn't be happier with the results. I look forward to reaching the next 10 pounds lost and then onto the final goal....It can be done. Don't get discouraged!! What do you thank YOUR lapband for???

Great advice and very well written. Thanks for sharing!! Congrats on your amazing success!

Well I'm thinking ill just have to get up when my kids do and workout while they are watching tv otherwise it will have to be at their nap time. We also put a pool on so I plan on doing some pool workouts on those ridiculously hot days. I am about to finish my second round of Insanity the last week of school so I haven't yet decided which workout to do. I have P90X so I'm leaning towards that but not sure yet.

I get up at 4:15am on weekdays to get my workout in before work. On weekends either first thing or after 12:30 when my kids take their nap. Summer vacation is going to be a challenge actually.

HahahahahA...I love those ecards

You look so fabulous!! Thank you for your inspiration. I too hope to be at my goal by one year. Congrats!!

Awesome! Congrats!

Wow wow wow!! You look fabulous!! Congrats on your AMAZING success!! You're an inspiration !

It's been at least a decade since I have been able to wear a Victoria's Secret bra. This week I bought one in store and three online. I went from a 40G to a 36DDD. JUST BARELY fitting in the VS sizes but none the less I'm excited (they would be way to big if they hadn't shrunk a little along the way). Now lets hope they don't shrink too much more in the last leg of this journey

Great progress! Keep up the great work! You're looking fantastic!

Awesome work!! You look fabulous! You should be so proud of yourself.

I remember how excited I was the first time I realized that. Congrats!!

Woo hoo!!! That's awesome!

I did this and us great results. I'm doing a second round and am almost done with phase one. Great workout but very intense. Just do what you are capable of, rest when you need it and don't give up. I posted a progress pic on a tread called finished insanity (I think thats what it's called). Good luck and have fun!!

Lol that's interesting.

Way to go! You look fabulous!
