That is SO AWESOME!!!!

I have tears!!

I cannot tell you how much I needed to see your post. I still have a few months to be banded and am very frustrated with life, money and weightloss--and lack there of on all accounts. lol

Your one post will help more than you know to inspire me to keep moving forward.

I am so PROUD OF YOU! Good job!!

Congratulations!!! It just goes to show that slow and steady can win the race. There is no reason why we can't all meet our goals if we are willing to put the work in.

You look fabulous!!!!

Thanks everyone!!! I have been here myself so many times wanting to give up. I have had so many plateaus, one lasting 12 mths.

I remember in the beginning with no restriction and the fills trying to get it. It took 10 fills for me to reach it and I havent had a fill since, that was about 3 yrs ago.

Its not all easy and at times it can be really hard and you just want to give up.....but dont!!!!

The band will work if you work with it, if you fall off the wagon, get back up brush yourself off and get back on.
