I am so excited today (7/16) to have completed my first year with Chrissy (my band).:sad: It has not been all peaches and cream but with anything you have to make changes. The band has required me to change what I eat, how much and the importance of exercise. When I have done all of those things consistently--- I have lost weight.

I'm plateau now and trying to lose an additional 20 lbs. But to be honest I'm so happy with my accomplishments thus far, losing the additional lbs are not priority but it will be a bonus. To date I have lost 65 lbs which is more than 65% of my excess weight. I have dropped from a size 18/20 to now 10/12. I FEEL SO GOOD ABOUT MYSELF!!!

Good luck to everyone!!!!
