Hey LBT peeps!

I just this second realized today is my bandiversary! Holy crap... how did I miss that?? To Celebrate I thought I would list the things that I can (and do!) do now and my goals for the next year.

1) I am down 75 pounds!

2) I am wearing a size 12 dress to the Doll Ball on Sunday (I WILL post pics!)

3) I am in a size 14 for the most part in everyday clothes.

4) I discovered my love of roller derby. Kicking ass and takin' names!

5) I have made some amazing friends here at LBT.

6) I have my freakin' life back. I don't sit (okay lay) around in front of the TV stuffing my face anymore. I am out LIVING LIFE!

Goals for the next year

1) Have a baby with my amazing husband.

2) Be the best person I can be.

3) Lose 35 more pounds.

I think that about covers the basics. My surgery date for my knee surgery has changed to May 23 (insurance issue) and I will be out of commision for at least 6 weeks after that. Yuck! I can't wait to strap my skates and pads back on and knock some bitches down!

Much love to you all from lil' ole me.

Woohoo!!!!! Happy Bandiversary!!!!!

I think your goals are fantastic!!!!

I am absolutely living vicariously through you, I love roller derby and have never been thin enough and in shape enough to do it, I'd love to try someday when I get a bit smaller ) if I'm not too old by then. I used to love to watch it on TV on Saturday and Sunday afternoons and late night (I'd sneak and watch it while my parents were sleeping). :kiss

I wish you luck on your upcoming knee surgery and hope you have a fast and fairly painless recovery.

Can't wait to see pics from the ball!!

You can really live now.

I know what you mean.

I feel so much more involved in life now.

AND I don't sweat all the time .

I am happy for you and I am glad you shared.

Hello,

Congratulations on your weight loss and all the wonderful things you have experienced with the lap band. I'm sure you will accomplish every goal you have set for yourself in the future. You are a great example to follow. My year is coming up in August, seems almost impossible that the time has flown by so fast. Hopefully I can be as successful as you have been.

Sincerely, Dieta Craig
