Dr. John Bagnato - georgia girl's Bandiversary!!

Today is my 1-year Bandiversary and I couldn't be more pleased with my results so far. As of today, I am officially 100 pounds down! I'm so excited I could scream!! My hard work over this past month has paid off.

I feel better than I have felt in 10 years. When I look back where I was a year ago, I am just amazed at the difference. A year ago I got winded just walking to my car and now I can run almost 1.5 miles straight! I'm starting to tear up as I type this because I am just so happy. You guys have been a tremendous help, through the losing spurts and the awful plateaus. Thanks for the support everyone! Couldn't have done without ya'll.

I AM SO EXCITED FOR YOU!!!! You truly are an inspiration to me. As you know, I am on a stinking plateau right now, and had decided that reaching 100 by my bandiversary was just not possible at this point. Well, you proved me wrong. I have 15 pounds to go and my bandiversary is October 24. I am joining you with low carbs again in the morning. You have inspired me, my best banded buddy!!

Savor the day!! You earned it!!! I only wish I could Celebrate with you in person!

CONGRATS ON YOUR 100 LBS GONE :eek:

GREAT JOB :mellow:

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK :cool2:

Congratulations for your accomplishment. I know that you must feel good emotionally and physically. Even though I have only dropped about 30 lbs I am feeling better already too, so I can't imagine how cool I will feel losing as much weight as you. Thanks for sharing.

HIP HIP HOORAY!!!!

Congratulations and it's wonderful to see that all your hard work is paying off in a big way. You put me to shame when it comes to the running/workouts.

Keep up the good work.

Thanks bestest band buddy! I couldn't have done it without YOU. All the PM's about not losing and plateaus....I can't count the times you have encouraged me to keep going! You're the best! And I think we will meet one day. We should make it a priority after we both get to goal. Kind of a reward for making it type thing....

cheers GG!!!!!

Thanks luluc! Your workout routine really inspires me. You do a little of everything and it's amazing!!

Definitely!! It's gonna be hard, but I'm hoping to lose these last 80 lbs faster than the first. I'm just gonna work as hard as I can and hopefully now that I've upped my exercise so much, it will come off faster. Yeah, I think we can talk our DH's into it...

Congratualtions Pamela! I am so proud of you! Keep it up and you will be running the whole thing in November! Take care

Thanks Jeannie! I sure hope I can run the whole thing. Even if I can't, it's just about finishing it. Who cares if we have to walk a little.
