It almost surreal.... But I am 10 lbs from goal. And it only been 21 months.... Such a short time considering the amount of weight I needed to lose ....

But i am almost there and i have lost 207 lbs! I just wanted to post this so anyone having to lose 200 lbs or more might realize IT CAN BE DONE!!!!!

WOO-HOO!!!!! CONGRATS!!!!!

Inspiration to others! Great job!

What an inspiring success story!! Thank you for posting it!

Wow! That's awesome! I love success stories!

Wow! Something I have to look forward to. I am banded dice dec 2011...I still have a good 25 pounds to go. Last fill might start the process of weight loss. It doesn't seem real when you go to try on clothes and you realize it's not your size anymore!!!! Congrats.

Amazing! I'd love to lose 200+lbs. Any tips or advice? Was banded 6/5/12 and have lost 30lbs.

Congrats to you on your success!

That's really amazing Floridays !!!

You are very kind. I am pretty proud of myself.

Outstanding!!! You are amazing.

What change from weight loss has meant the most to you? And, did you journal throughout the 21 months? Just curious.

Again, outstanding job!

I have kept a food journal....as I recorded every thing I put in my mouth until my dr asked me to stop back in march.... He wanted me to be able to eyeball it.

I think so far the best thing is exactly why I did it... I have my health. I am not scared of having a heart attack anymore! I actually was very healthy for being overweight but I couldn't walk from Walmart to the car without stopping... I was just carrying too much weight. Now I don't look for the closest parking spot.... I can walk for hours.

And the added benefit of being on the receiving end of double takes isn't bad either

My pleasure... I am happy to answer any questions. Believe me if I can do this...anyone can!

PS.. I answered your email.

How much do you have in your band and what size is your band, when did you get in the green zone? What do you usually eat and did you work out alot?

Awesome!!!!!!

Absolutely wonderful. Hard work for sure - but what great payoff for you! Congratulations!
