I'm back too :-) I've stayed away a little while, but it's time to get serious. I've lost a total of 40 so far, but should have lost more since June. The good news is, over thanksgiving and Christmas I haven't gained. I've just been simply sticking at 40. Time to get back on the losing track! Maybe we can get together to walk Kim, I still want to meet! :-)

Hello my fellow bandsters! I was banded June 2013. I can't believe I am approaching 1 year. How is everyone doing? I'm doing well. I've lost 60lbs so far. I had a few months of plateaus. I have definitely lost more inches than weight. I've gone from a size 22W to a 16W. I work out with a trainer twice a week and on my own 3 days. Total of 5 days a week. I have finally hit the green zone! I recently found out I have hypothyroidism. It may explain why my weight loss has slowed. I start meds today so we will see how that goes. My surgeon thinks it will help tremendously. I am so happy that I chose to have lapband surgery. It is an fantastic tool and has taught me how to eat and actually enjoy food. It's amazing how such small amounts can satisfy me now. I have attached a before and a few in progress photos. I hope everyone is doing great!!
