I finally hit the 50 lbs down mark this morning!!! I am finally back in the 170s -- I haven't seen that number for YEARS!!!!

I am so happy right now, and so glad that I decided to get banded. I could never have gotten to this point on my own. I now have only 24.6 more lbs to go to get me to my goal of 155 (with a super goal of 145). What a great feeling!! I just wanted to share it with you guys!

BTW, it's taken me nearly 9 months to lose 50 lbs. I saw the other day that someone was lamenting only losing that much, but I feel really good about it! If I hadn't been banded, I probably would have put on another 10-15 lbs during that time, and today I'd be beating myself up mentally because nothing fits. Instead, I'm cheering and doing a little happy dance because almost nothing fits (it's all too big)!!

Thanks so much, you guys!!! Just when I thought it couldn't get any better, I'm down another pound this morning!! This is so great b/c it took like a week to get off the last .4!!

It was so nice to see all of these great messages (and the poem and song lyrics people put on my blog)! I really feel fantastic and am so greatful for all of the support I get through this site!!
