August All Stars-Anniversary



Recommended Posts

Happy Anniversary to all of you. I know the month's almost over but today is my Band Anniversary. I can't believe its been a year already, buts its been a good year and I haven't had many of those lately. My main one year goal was to be down 100 pounds and I made it. As of my weigh in two weeks ago I was down 112. I have had many different little goals met like going from a 4x/5x in shirts to a 2x, shoes from a 10w to an 8 regular, being able to walk down stairs with out stopping every few minutes to breathe, lots of more energy, and regaining some of my self confidence back. But the most touching thing was this past Sunday while at church, my 8 yr old but her arms around me to give me a big hug. She said look mommie my arms can go all the way around you now when I hug you. All i could do was smile. :w00t:

Congratulations to everyone with their losses. And to those of you have met your goal way to go.

:blushing:

Congratulations on all your victories, both on the scale and off! Here's to the start of a second year that will be just as full of success.:frown:

Hi, finally made it into the 140's. This past few months have been hard. Not losing as much, changing Insurance so that now we have $1000 deductible each. So waiting a month or so for another fill. Still have good restriction. Watching what I eat also. But occasionally eating some good stuff...like lobster.

I think now just a pound at a time is good. I fit into size 11/10 stuff now so I am happy. Toning up a bit more with the slow loss. I will be happy if I hit 130 by next summer. I am just going one day at a time now. Eating healthy.

I hope everyone is doing well. I will check in here more often now that summer is almost over.

take care all

the 29th will be my second year anniversary. I still say that the band is the best thing that I have done for myself. I started with 250 lbs., in size 22 and now I am at 143-145 fitting into size 8. It feels great, but now I really have to watch myself, because I find myself falling into the old way of eating the wrong stuff. Example: my love for ice cream. Have to fight the craving for it.

Hey Everyone.

It has been far past anniversaries and goals and dates. I hope everyone's journey is going well and checking in to say howdy. My progress has been pretty good for the most part. I definately feel a great deal better with 80# off.

Cheers to you!!!

Amaltha

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
