I am so excited! My mini-goal was to be down 50 pounds by my birthday, and I made it! I just wanted to spread/share the joy with all my other bandster friends! Gotta love that band!

Thank you all at LBT for your support! This place is awesome!:whoo:

:whoo::whoo::whoo:Way to go. That is a great weight loss! Donna

Hey, everyone! Just wanted to let ya know- I went shopping all day yesterday with my sister. It was a blast! I bought several shirts, sweaters and 2 pairs of jeans. SIZE 12!!!! I could hardly believe it. I did the happy dance in the fitting room! I went from a size 20-22 to a 12 in less than 3 months! I never expected to do this well! I knew I would get into a 12 at some point, I just thought it would take so much longer. I am so excited right now. I want to shout it to the world!!!!!!

Thank you for all the kind words of support and encouragement!

Good luck to you all! I'll keep ya posted!

That's such exciting news Lori! Congratulations! I will be 38 in January and I'm hoping to be down 38 pounds by then :-) I won't be banded until about a month before my birthday (if all goes well) so most of it will have to be me if I want to achieve that goal. I'm already working on it as I type! LOL

I can't wait to wear a size 12! You need to do that happy dance every time you put those jeans on!!! Whoo Hoo!

WOW!!! Lori that is amazing. I am very happy for you. I just had my band done on October 25/07 I will be 40 in Feb 2008 I sure hope I can be down 50 lbs by then.

What did you do? I plan to follow the post op diet and I walk everyday with my husband. Anything else you can suggest.

I love this site. people like you inspire me.

Happy Birthday

Congratulations
