July 25, 201115 yr It has taken me longer than I thought to lose one hundred pounds, but as of today I have lost 101 pounds. It hasn't always been easy, and I have walked my small town everyday for over a year, but it is definitely worth it. I still have a ways to go, but I feel very inspired to have lost 100. I love my lap-band.

July 26, 201114 yr Author Thanks everyone. When you start this journey you are always so uncertain of your path. Will you be successful or will it not work for you as it has for some others - those are all thoughts that went through my head. As everyone says, the band is a tool but you have to use the tool to be successful. The band makes me not hungry, but it does not make me get out of my comfy chair when it is 90 outside or when it is 0 outside. That is all me and I have to say I am proud of my perseverance on this lifestyle. There are days when I didn't think it would ever happen and others days when I felt indestructible - but each day had its own merits. I have worked hard and appreciate each and every step of the journey, because sometimes if I didn't step back I might not see how great the road ahead looked. This site has been so helpful to me - even when I don't post I can come, look around and find motivation to keep going. Thanks to each and everyone of you for helping me find my way.
