6 Month Ban-Anniversary Doing Great!

[olivepickles 13]

So yesterday was my 6 month ban-anniversary. In six months I have lost 65 pounds and dropped 4 sizes. I am leaving for vacation to Europe in 3 weeks. All of this would not have been possible without my band.

This has not been the easiest journey but I am lucky. Lucky I have had no issues with the band. I work out 4x a week and keep within my calorie limit using my fitness pal.

I am hitting a bit of a wall with the diet I know it will pass. I think I need a fill I haven’t had one since November. I sometimes feel this head hunger is never going to leave me. Head hunger is my biggest struggle. I easily can 4 hours or more between eating and when I starting eating it is like I am starving. I am glad my band lets me know when it is time to stop. I am hoping in the next 6 months I will have this head hunger beat and keep up my weight loss, I am half way to my goal. The band is the best decision I have made ever and I wish I would have done it sooner.

Congratulations! Have a fabulous trip. I know what you mean when you say this wouldn't have been possible before bandland. I am only 6 weeks out but can already get around so much easier. No huffing and puffing. I can walk further and I stood in line for 45 min without my back, feet, hips and knees hurting. We love to travel, where in Europe are you going?

You are doing awsome! London is a fabulous city, haven't been to Madrid or Paris, would love to though.

Mck, I know this sounds bad. We were at a local casino for fiesta night buffet. What I did eat was soooo good. Especially cause my buffet was free. I don't feel guilty about eating so little when it is free. LOL!
