I just wanted to share that today is my 1st bandanniversary! Over the past year I have lost 94 pounds..gone from a size 20-22W to a 8-10 petite. My BMI went from 47.8 to 29.5. :clap2: I am very pleased with my progress, as are my family and friends. A few people have not recognized me! Of course the band we know is just a tool and my 4 days a week exercise and 1200 calorie a day really did the work. There is the fat women still lingering in my head, but I am going to keep her down and gone. My mother put it best when she said..."Jessica they put a band on your stomach---they did not do a lobotomy...our minds can be just as evil

as our mouths can be!

I think the best thing that has been said to me about my weightloss was from my children my ds said "Mom there is nowhere to snuggle" and my dd said" We can sit on the chair together"

:confused:

Fantastic! Congratulations! :confused:

THAT IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

Thanks so much for posting........

Congratulations! YOU did the work, the band was just your helper. Exercise and eating right, congratulations! Hopefully I can reach my goal in a year as well.

Your a great inspiration for uns newbies! Can you share your success story with us? Have you always been overweight? What was your typical menu? What type of exercise did you do? Did you have stalls? What was the hardest thing to overcome? We would love to hear your story!

Great to hear you are doing so good, I am just starting, my seminar is scheduled April 17th. I hope I do as good as you. Can you share if you had any real side effects.

I love this post! I have my band surgery tomorrow and can only hope to have half as much success as you! Wonderful.
