1 Year Anniversary 10-19-12

Hi all! My one year band anniversary was yesterday and I am very close to being 100 pounds down! I still wanna lose another 20 or so but I thought I would share my photo from yesterday with all of you! I am very happy with the results of the band and I have no regrets what so ever! My before pic is my profile pic.

    Oh my goodness yes! I used to wake up in sooo much pain everyday...I had to take two ibproufain (sp)? In the morning. I no longer need them. Now when I wake up I get up and have energy...no pain! I am a much happier person and have so much more confidence! Thank you for your kind words!

    Wow you look great! You look so much younger. I think the weight off really does take age off. I wish could blow up profile pics as so tiny on my feeble eyes:) but I still can tell amazing difference. I am at my 6 month mark today and its been slow at close to 30lb. Just starting to maybe get some restriction but would be thrilled to get 40 off and be 10-20 from goal at one year mark. Congrats again.. Love the new you!!
