I hit a huge milestone today. I have lost as of today, 50 pounds which is also 50% of my excess weight. I am halfway there. I've been banded for 6 months now. And although it was hard at the beginning, these first 6 months have been more than a diet. It has been a total reprogramming of the mind and body. I feel so great now. I want to hit my goal by m birthday december 9th.

Congrats, that's awesome!

congrats to you!

Congrats!

Thank you. It's very emotional for some reason. I see pix of before when I was very obese and I get so mad at myself for letting myself go. I don't want to ever feel bad like that.

I think that's a normal reaction. I'm not there quite yet, but I believe when I look back on old pictures I'll feel a rush of emotions

I know how emotional it can be. When I hit what was my original overall goal, 160 pounds, I sobbed uncontrollably!

OMG!! That is certainly an excuse to cry!!! You are amazing and an inspiration to all who are reading this.

Congrats! Getting to the halfway point always makes your goals feel so much more attainable!

Yay for you! That is so awesome. I am just 6 weeks out from surgery but love seeing the scale go down instead of up!

Awesome.

Amazing! Congrats to you:)
