What a difference a year makes!

It was a year ago today that I had my band surgery (Realize). From my consult appt I'm down over 110 pounds and since surgery I'm down around 85-90 pounds.  While I have hit a wall with loss (I'd say about 60-70% is me) for the past 3 months, I do plan to lose another 20-25. I go to spin class 3x a week, I took up running 8 weeks ago and can run 30 minutes at a time. I do workouts that I never thought I could do. I love being active. I'm joining the cross fit program at my gym in January. I had my labs done in November and my cholesterol was 120!  My triglycerides were 75. I haven't been on any meds for a year now. I love my new life style. I'm fortunate to have the great support of my awesome husband, family and friends. I've received really helpful advice, support and encouragement here - thank you all for that!

Great job Amy.  Keep up the good work.

I agree What a difference a year makes!

Thanks everyone! It's so nice to have an active life, to feel so good, not to have so many aches and pains. Never mind looking so much better, wearing cute clothes from most any store, but the health and quality of life is so much richer!

Cheers!
