I have not been on this site for ages and thought I would visit some old friends. I am three years post lap band and am down 173#!!!

I will add a new pic when my kids get home!!(incapable me). I feel and look like a different person. I am more confident,more physically active and strong! I do kickboxing, spinning, as well as the elliptical,etc. last summer I got up on water skiis, something I have not done in over 20 years.iI went zip lining twice, wave runners in the Bahamas, all the things I longed to do but was too embarrassed or too big to try. My best friend bought me a pass to the local amusement park in Cincinnati,knowing I am dying to fit on all those rides again. Hope the old lady's inner ear thing is not an issue. I really don't care. I am going!

If nothing else, I hope I am a role model for my children, to NOT put the weight on and to take it off when they are 10 pounds over, not 180! UGH!

Be persistent and keep trying to live a healthy lifestyle! Stay active, it feels great!Peggy
