Never in my wildest dreams did I EVER think I would be writing this post! My one year bandiversary is June 27th and I hit my 100lb, actually 101lb, loss this morning!!!! I am over the moon happy with all the wonderful changes in my life! I am finally living again, and for the first time in a long, long, long, while I actually feel comfortable in my own skin.

For all of you newbies out there reading this I encourage you to keep the faith and stay strong in your long journey to your goal. It is SOOOOOO worth it.

By the way, I had a breast reduction and abdominoplasty 3 weeks ago and am so happy with the results!!!

My best wishes to all bandsters out there!!!!!

Fantastic news! Congratulations! I'm inspired.

Awesome!!! Congratulations!!!!

Congratulations!! I hope one day I can post this same thing. So what would you say has helped you the most? Any advice for us newbies (and the ones like me who have scales that won't move lately)?

Ha! I've been there.....convinced the scale is broken!!!!! lol I'm 54 and have dieted since I was in third grade! I've finally learned that consistency over time is the key to reaching your goal. it seems like simple advice, but just like what your experiencing now with your stubborn scale, don't give in to temptation, just keep plugging along doing the right thing and you WILL reach your goal!!

Thanks! Congrats again!!

That is also my goal. Now, I know it is possible. Thanks for sharing.
