6th Month Bandiversary and I Did It!

Yesterday was my 6 month bandiversary. I did something that at first I thought was going to be impossible and even my doctor told me it would be but I did it....I lost 101 pounds in 6 months!!!!!! I went to work yesterday and kept saying I was going next door to our health clinic and weigh just to see how close I had come to my goal. I kept stalling because I was thinking that I hadn't lost those 4 pounds I was needing. Finally I thought what the heck and went to the health clinic. Our PA saw me come in and asked if everything was alright. I told him I was on a mission and he said to come on back and he'd weigh me. Well I stepped up on the scale and sure enough....I had lost 101.2 pounds to be exact! I was so excited I started crying. I was borderline giddy to be honest. I went back to my office and was about to burst to tell everyone. The minute I walked in I lost it again and started blubbering. I was so excited that I was actually shaking! I had two of the other women in my office in tears with me but it felt so good! I couldn't wait to call my surgeon's office and tell them. I honestly can't believe that I did it but I saw it with my own eyes and man what a beautiful sight! I'm 101 pounds lighter than I was 6 months ago and I know that it'll just keep getting better and better! Thanks to all you guys that give me support, encouragement, inspiration and answers on a daily basis. I still can't believe how wonderful my life is now that I'm "with the band!"
