I was banded in February 6th 2012. On surgery day I weighed 314lbs. The heaviest I had ever been. My goal was to loose 100lbs by my 1 year band anniversary. Today I weighed in at 218!!! So close I can taste it. I still have a month and only 4lbs to my goal. Along with this victory I bought a pair of size 16 jeans today. When I started all I wanted was to get into a 16 and be able to shop in any store. Not just the big girl departments and stores. Now I am dreaming of a 10!! I never dreamed that I would feel this good about myself. I was always running from cameras and mirrors now my husband can't get me away from them. He has been my rock and support through this journey. Without him and my parents and wonderful friends ( that is the ones who know About my band) it would have been so much harder to reach my goals. So here's to hitting my goal of 100 and the next 50 that I aim to loose in 2013!!! Loving life and look forward to the future!!!

Congratulations!
