I have been banded a year. I was really hoping to make it to 100 pounds lost by now. I am close. Maybe by the end of this month I will be where i want to be.

I have to say that the hardest part has been the mind games. I still see me as I was one year ago. I have trouble seeing any change. I pull out my old clothes to keep my head in check.

I started out wearing a 24 and now I have 14s that are too loose and some 12s that fit nicely.

Almost 100 pounds gone in one year. I love my band.

Congrats on your success. Get rid of those clothes.... You will never need them again. . I kept on pair of shorts in a bag in the back of the closet.... They fit my 77" hips 2 years ago. I have looked at them twice. When I put something on and it's too big... It goes in the goodwill bag.

Keep up the good work
