Chickie you are such an inspiration - I first read your story in either the That's Life or Take 5 magazine.

I had been looking into the band for about 12 months befor reading about you, your story was what made me finally make the call to do something about my weight. I could almost swear that the photo of you before was my body....

Anyway, I wanted to say thankyou for sharing such a personal journey, and a successful one at that. Congratulations - you look fantastic.

All the best for your healthier life.

Chickie, you are and look amazing! Thank you for sharing your before & After photos and your story... and wow... you're just so inspirational. Congratulations!

I'm getting my band next Wed, March 12th and I just feel so blessed to have this chance to turn my life around. I love this site as it introduces me to people like yourself, who have used the band to help them make the biggest change in their lives.

Thank you, again.

Cheers. :thumbup:

Amazing transformation! As I currently look like your BEFORE picture, I find great motivation in seeing what you were able to accomplish. If I can end up looking half as good as you do, I will have succeeded!

Thank you for sharing!

I agree with Jack - more photos!

When I first started reading LBT you were posting a lot, and you had great photos in your avatar. It was very inspiring for someone just thinking of the band. Then, there were fewer and fewer posts...

I am sure your new life is bustling and you have less time for LBT. However, I just wanted you to know that your posts DO matter and that you are an inspiration to many, many people (most of whom you will NEVER know about). Congrats on three successful years and here's hoping for many more.

Life is life, and it has a tendency to march on without us if we don't keep up. Over Christmas/ New Year there was a lot happening, and I haven't had as much time for LBT and even my own Mummy Board (Coffee Talk Ladies) as I would have liked.

There are reasons behind the AV and pics coming down, but I think due to demand I might have to replace them.

Thanks for your kind words Foofy.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
