Well I finally made it to 70lbs!  A part of me thought that I was never going to make it!  It's been a long 10lbs but, I guess all  that matters is that it's gone!!  I go back to the Doc next week so I think that I'm going to get a fill this time instead of some taken out like I did the last time.

Well the wedding is over and it came off without any hitches and everyone said that it was beautiful!!  I had some family member that I hadn't seen in awhile  come up to me and said that I looked stunning and very skinny!  That was great to hear I don't even know the last time was that I was called skinny.  I think that it was just that the dress was very flattering.  No matter what I hit my goal weight loss for the wedding and I was very excited about that!!

My challenge for this week is my 40Th birthday which just so happens to land on my 6 month anniversary of being banded!  Lots of stuff to celebrate I guess!

If I don't happen to post again before the holidays, from my family to yours wishing you the best of holidays!!!!!

Yeah 60lbs gone for good this time.  The last time I lost 60lbs was 3 years ago and let just it had no problem making it's way right back on my hips!  I can't believe how different life is and can't wait to see what it will continue to change!!  Yesterday I tried on a 18 I haven't seen that since high school and I got them on they were just a little to tight so I have a date with them it 2 weeks to go back and by them but, at least I got them on!  This is quite the journey with lots of ups and downs but, I wouldn't miss it for the world!  The most important thing is that I'm getting my health back I've dropped 10 points in my BMI I love that!! 
Well I guess that's all for now I'll make another post soon!

Well I finally got there I lost 50lbs!  I know I shouldn't say finally but, the first couple of months post surgery weren't the easiest!  I'm so greatful though for the surgery and all that it's done for my life already.  I can't even imagine what it'll be like when I make it to goal!!!!

Well I've been working out lately and even joined a gym (with lots of encouragement from my youngest son!).  And I've been getting up at 4:45 in the morning to be at the gym at 6:00am.  Which I know a lot of people do I'm just NOT a morning person.  I do feel a little better after doing but, at his point I really have to push myself to get it done.  I was really discouraged last week because I was gaining weight but, I've since then lost it.  I just want to encourage anyone fighting to get up in the morning to squeeze in your exercise that your not alone.  One other thing that I've tried is water aerobics I really like it and it's something different then a elliptical machine!
