In Feb it will be 1 year since i been banded the first couple months were crazy i lost slow at first then it started falling off i have been on a major long plateau for months with LBS but not inches thankfully i know its not always about the LBS but rather inches but i would love to see the LBS drop so i can finally get to my goal i hope before 2015 rolls around and at my 2 yr i can say HEY IVE BEEN AT MY GOAL WEIGHT lol i know eventually ill get there i have came a long way and its hard to see change when i still have my fat vision contact lenses glued to my eyeballs people tell me all the time wow you lost a lot of weight etc etc but i cant wait to see it for myself!!! Heres to the next 55!!

Congratulations on this halfway mark -- and 55 is tremendous. Way to go! And inches lost as well -- I need to remember how important that is and not worry so much about the number on the scale. Love the fat vision contact lenses -- that is hilarious! We need more compassion when we look in the mirror, that's for sure, and just in general. Here's to an amazing success and to this upcoming year of health and further loss. You are doing beautifully. Thanks for the inspiration today!
