[blue devil woman 0]

not being afraid to throw yout favorite jeans in the dryer and wondering if they will shrink so much you I won't beable to get them on or zipped!!

I can ride any roller coaster I want to ride!

In just a couple more lbs, I will weigh less than everyone in my family!

I don't feel like I have to hide behind people and things in pictures.

I could name hundreds but those are probably the best for today!

I'm thankful for my band because...

...I am no longer on medication for diabetes or high blood pressure

...I am, by clothing size, half the woman I used to be!

...I can run a 5K anytime I want and my knees, feet and back don't hurt!

...I can buy clothes in any store I walk into...

...I feel SO much better and feel I'm setting a good example for my children.:wub::wub:

I'm thankful for my band because...

I can now cross my legs like a "lady".

I can now fit into a size 8 skinny jean!

I have stopped taking one of my antidepressant medications.

I no longer cringe or cry when I get on the scale.

I feel like I fit in with the rest of my family or friends.

I actually LIKE shopping now.

It has helped me be the healthy, more confident person I am today!

I can not believe I am wearing size 12. I can not ever remember doing so.

I am have a difficult time adjusting to the new me. I can not seem to get past the idea I am still "FAT".

Shopping is very hard. I keep wanting to go to the plus sizes. I do not know what to wear for my new found figure.

I no longer have to take BP, diabetic med, and others.

I still have about 25 pounds to go......

Best decision that I ever made. I have lost 115 lbs, and I am 5 lbs BELOW my goal weight. I turn 50 next month, and I am in the best physical condition since college. I can do anything without getting winded or paying for it with stiffness the next day. I work out four days a week, and I have unlimited energy. People I have known for years have to double take when I speak to them, because they do not recognize me. They all ask me how I did it, and I am always happy to share my story with them. The best part is, I have added Healthy Decades to my life. I plan on seeing my grandchildren and great-grandchildren. I am so greatful to my local health provider (she has a lapband as well) and to Dr. Ortiz in Mexico for helping me to make all of this possible.

I am thankful because I am down from a size 22 to a 12. The compliments are amazing and I feel a lot better.

[lucettecole 67]

I am thankful for my band because I look and feel younger, my husband is 10 years older than me but I was the one looking and feeling older. The way he looks at me now makes me blush!
