Hi Everyone!

Just had to share my great news....today I hit the 50 pounds lost mark...as a matter of fact, it's actually 52.1! I am so excited and really find it hard to believe. I've been overweight most of my life and the most I've ever lost was 40 pounds at Weight Watchers when I was in my 20's. When I hit that mark, I just stopped following the program and continued to gain weight back plus some extra. Now, I can't believe that at the age of 45, I could lose 52.1 lbs in 3 1/2 months. I am so totally happy with my Band and I thank God for it's availability to us and for all the support I've gotten from my family and the people here on this website. As I've said before, it's the best gift I have given to myself. Good luck to you all on your weight loss journeys!

Congratulations!!!

Wow that's wonderful! Thanks for sharing. It is so motivating to hear your success as my story is very similar. I'm 47, lost a lot of weight when I was in my 20s and unsuccessful since despite the endless dieting and excercising. I just got banded 10/10 and although there is a part of me that is so excited it is still in the form of hope and not reality. Congratulations again...

Congrats!!!! Great job! Enjoy your success, you deserve it!

Congratulations!!!:smile:

Congrats! You expressed exactly how I felt when I hit 50 lbs! I'm now at 58 and I'm going to do a whole celebration again when I hit 60! :smile:

Way to go!

Awesome job! Congratulations.

Thank you all for your congrats....they're very much appreciated!

Yayyyyyy... Congrats!!! :smile: :thumbup: :tt2: :mad:

It's a great feeling, I know. I am working on my 60 mark now.

Awesome!

Congrats on your process....keep up the great work.

Lisa,

I'm Mona and have a surgery date of 10/29. I am excited and nervous and I am hating the liquid diet. I am in Day 5 and am hungry and cannot sleep well. You have inspired me though with your weight loss and positive attitude. What have you been eating since surgery? -Mona

Hooray for you!!!!!!

Where do I find the weight loss ticker thing to add to my profile??

Awe..that so great to hear! Congrats! We are the same age and I can only hope and pray for the same results. I'm believing! Pretty soon you'll have to take the "2be" off of your username at add "Iam". Keep up the good work. :biggrin:
