My eyes about popped out of their sockets this morning when I stepped on the scale! I am officially down 140 pounds and am .6 (that's 1/2 pound!!!) away from my first goal of 135 pounds (will decide from there whether to lose another 5 pounds or not). I CANNOT BELIEVE IT! I am so excited. Last night I went to my friend's consignment shop for the first time (only carries the smaller sizes - really upscale gently used designer clothes) and I tried on and fell in love with an ARMANI jacket. From someone that used to HATE to shop - i'm now officially a clothes horse - and loving it!!! I must say that I have never IN MY LIFE spent that much money on one item of clothing (this includes my wedding dress - ha!) that jacket makes me look and feel like a million bucks - and is a little reward to myself for doing so great with my lapband. BEST OF LUCK TO US ALL ON OUR JOURNEYS!!!!

Oh, Allison, bless you! So happy for you! Brings tears to my eyes, I want that so bad!! Thanks for sharing your experience.

What inspiration!! Thank you for sharing!

Congrats Allison, what a great accomplishment. I can tell how happy you are.

Congratulations! You deserved that jacket wear it proudly.

Awesome ! You go girl

That's so awesome. Congrats!

This is so amazing to hear... I hope I can lose 50 lbs and feel what you are feeling in the year to come. I have my evaluation Wednesday and I am self paying so unsure when we can and hopefully set the date for the surgery. I hate shopping too and just this weekend alone going shopping with my 14 year old daughter and seeing so many cute clothes that I once use to wear made me so depressed. I want to enjoy shopping again....I just want my life back...

thank you for your inspiring words.....

WOOHOO...way to go on your success!! NO Sugar Ice Cream for all...lol !!

So happy for you & proud of your success! Keep up the great work & enjoy taking care of yourself in new ways! You deserve a day at the spa!

Congratulations on a great goal you've fulfilled. Be positive and keep the faith.

Congratulations!! That is so wonderful!!!
