Happy 30th Birthday to me.

1 year ago my heart was broken because my insurance decided to fight me on surgery. I damn near gave up. Luckily I am too stubborn for that. Feb 14th I had lap band surgery..I lost 12 lbs during my pre op diet. Fast forward to today. I was a little up and down in the beginning, but on the day of surgery I weighed 405 lbs. Today I weigh 374. so total weight loss from Pre Op (Jan 31st) is 43 lbs! I have only had one fill and it was 2 ccs..Definitely no restriction yet...but I am losing about 1lb a week right now...Im losing..thats beautiful!!! I am down from a size 28 to a size 24 pants..I went from a 3x-4x shirt to a 2x in all shirts...spanks are the BEST invention ever because I def have some loose skin going on. I have lost a total of 41 inches..I feel AMAZING..I wish the number on the scale was smaller, but I know that will come with time..My calves are like rocks so I know I am gaining muscle..I just turned 30 years old on Sunday the 28th. I just havent posted anything in a while and thought I would let everyone know where I am.

I do have a question though.Are there any good work outs I can do to tone my arms up some..Skin there is ugly in a tank top!

    I knew I was forgetting to write something! Anyway..In November I am participating in the Susan G Komen 3 day walk. I will be walking 60 miles in 3 days for breast cancer. My grandmother passed away from breast cancer 10 years ago April 20th. I am walking in her honor..I have to raise 2300 in order to walk..I know many people have been affected personally or know someone who has so I am posting the link to my donations page. I know none of you kinow me, but i feel like we are linked because of the band...If this isnt the place for it then please disregard it...just thought I would put it out there..
