I just want to shout from the roof tops how good I am feeling. I have 57 ugly pounds off since 5/16/12 and I feel great! I just finished up 6 weeks of traveling and training for my job. As a facilitator it is necessary for me to be on my feet to do my presentations. 6 months ago I could barely stand for 5 minutes without my feet and back hurting. I often sat in a tall chair behind the podium. I knew it was less than professional but I just couldn't stand. That burden is behind me now. I can stand and move so much more easily now. I know I have a long way to go but boy have I come a long way. So much more energy. I go to the doctor for my 3rd fill on 10/16. I feel very little restriction at this point and am hoping this next fill will do the trick. I know it may take several more fills to get to the green zone and I truly look forward to it. Right now though, I get great satisfaction from doing this basically on my own or I should say God and I are doing it together because without Him I can do nothing. Thanks for letting me share.

Added note: I reached my exercise goal of 150 minutes per week for 12 weeks in a row and then upped the goal to 165 minutes per week and have reached it for the past 3 weeks. Woot! Woot!

I got on here tonight looking for inspiration and there you were! Congrats to you and your weight loss but more importantly the way the weight loss has made you feel! Thanks for the inspiration, I needed that!!!
