Hi friends!!

I am excited to be down 39 pounds since May 15th. I just went in for a small fill and am finally in the green zone. It took over 3 months and 6 fills to finally find this sweet spot. Along the way I have doubted myself thinking I have been eating too much but with the weight loss I can not deny that I am doing the right things. It is hard to get in enough protein which I need to start making a better effort at. It feels so good to stay satisfied 4 hours after I eat. This is what it is all about!!! I am exercising by walking. Today I walked 50 minutesj even though we have record heat and humidity. I am proud of myself. I am also dating a little. It is scary and tough and I get really nervous. I am 50 years old so If I don't start taking some risks I will never find the right man. I hope to find one who doesn't think I am weal because I am banded. I stop eating about 6:60 every night which I think has really helped. I also don't eat until I am hungry. Recently went on vacation and maintained my weight. It was hard eating out so many meals. I did do a lot of hiking iin the redwoods and on the beaches of California. Anyway, I love my band. And I love that I am following the rules and making these great changes. Looking forward to hearing from you all!!!!

Congratulations!!! How exciting. Life is good. You look beautiful and your joy comes through in your post as well. I'm narrowing in on my green zone and it gets better each day.
