6 months - 40 lbs - 4 sizes - 1.5 hrs in the gym 4 times/week

[Kathytej 134]

Yesterday it was my 6 month anniversary, 40 lbs lighter and so much healthier. I have going down from size 3x to size XL in tops and from size 24 to size 16P in pants. I am not diabetic anymore, and my heart beat has gone down from 115 bpm to 78 bpm. My cholesterol in way below normal levels and I am only taking one prescription, as a precaution only. When I did my stress test last year I was only able to walk 3 minutes in the treadmill, now I do 30 minutes treadmill (3miles), 15 minutes bicycle (2 miles) and then I do weights for 45 minutes ( arms, legs and torso). My husband is really happy with my new body, my breast has gone down but my butt is coming rounder. I don't miss any food, I can pretty much eat everything I want but I choose not to. My band had reject a couple of things that I use to love, like Pasta, pizza, mushroom, bread, Chinese food but I don't see it as a bad thing, I see it as a blessing. I have to confess that I have my weaknesses (Cheetos cheese puff and Chewy caramel) but I will work on it. Also I love honey BBQ Sauce because it help me in having my food come down and oatmeal with fruit!

My band has been a blessing in my life!
