Dee you have been my inspiration for a long time so thank you very much! Nyshia, on average I have lost about 9 lbs a months but the numbers never drove me. I really needed and wanted to retrain my mind and body on how I relate to food. So I have focused on getting rid of the bad eating habits that cause me to get to 245 lbs and focus on learning new eating habits that will keep me at my goal weight. My relationship with food has completely change. Food is no longer in control, I am. Also I joined myfitnesspal with Dee and others and I track everything I eat! I'm luckyaka on my fitnesspal.

Thanks so much everyone! This surgery helped change my life and I just so excited about the positive changes I see on the inside and outside.

I just follow the rules. Protein first and I keep my carbs very low and I stick to a 1200 calorie diet.

I feel like a new person! Loving my Lapband!

I've decided today is a good day to take stock of my weight loss journey.
Running today I broke my pace record for my entire life averaging 14 min/mile and more importantly I broke my record for fastest mile (13.5 min/mile). I'm still running half the distance and 50% slower than the average man my age who uses Nike+ but I'm running twice as often.
I'm within 5 lbs of having lost 100 lbs (40 of which has been in the last 3 months with the lap band). I still have nearly 150 lbs to lose before my BMI would be "healthy" but I'm starting to suspect I'll reach a "healthy" waist measurement before that since I've lost 6 inches off my wait in the last 3 months and and am on the cusp of wearing 2xl shirts rather than feeling uncomfortable in the 4xls I was wearing a few months ago.
So you may not be at goal but I'd encourage you to share your progress so far; feel free to brag yourself up a bit.

You look fantastic and look at least 10 yrs younger with the weight off! Congratulations!
