Yest I officially hit 110 lbs lost, in 1 yr and 9 days I am so close to goal, 24 lbs away, and I'm hoping that I'll be there by the end of summer. My band is super tight right now but I am stead fast on keeping it that way until I reach my goal. I had an unfill in Jan and maintained with no gain/loss for 5 weeks before going in for a refill to get my weight loss going again. Since having a refill in early March I've dropped another 20 lbs!

May 3rd I am having brachioplasty so I am anticipating that may stunt my weight loss because of the healing process and I'm prepared for that. Kinda a bummer but I can't wait to see the results!

My goal is to loose another 5 lbs, be in the 160's, before my surgery May 3rd so I am hitting the gym hard and really working on my upper body. I figure the better shape I'm in before surgery the better my results will be.

Congrats...I am hoping to be at goal by the time my one year anniversary comes around!!! You are doing great...thanks for being so inspiring!

Congratulations! Thanks for encouraging us with your success!

My secret... it's all about the FOOD! I exercise some don't get me wrong. Do I get to the gym faithfully every week? Nope! I do get out and do major yard work (digging holes ect.). When I do go to the gym I do about 10-15 min on the eliptical and a quick circut of weights. I occassionally go to an hour yoga class at a local spa.

It's all about the food!!!!! I eat an ave of 600 calories per day. I'm big into my smoothies, I posted what I put in them on the nutrition board, b/c they fill me up with tons of nutrients, Fiber, metabolism boosting goodies

I'm pretty tight right now and I'm planning on loosening my band when I hit goal so I can eat a lil more solids and hopefully maintain. I got a unfill in January and maintained for 6 weeks, but in hopes of loosing more weight I went in and got tightened back up.

Thank you everyone for your encouraging words! Love this forum, it gives me strength to keep going!
