Well its been a long time so I thought I would just say a quick something. I am over three years out from surgery and I am still down 145 lbs. I wear a small and a size 4 or 6. I am more active than I have been in many years and I feel great. Just living my life and enjoying it. I never thought this would ever be possible but I am so happy that I chose the band. Hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Just checking in

Well I have not posted for a while, not sure if it is because I dont have the time or maybe I just dont know what to say. But I do have something to say today, thank you to each and everyone for the boards and the posts on here. I only post here and there but I read alot and have learned so much from others. I am just staying the same, nothing new. I still have not had another fill or anything taken out it has been 18 months since then. I have been enjoying a whole new life and feeling better than I have in years. I really went into this thinking the band was nothing more than another diet but wow I was sure wrong. The band was the tool I needed to lose all the weight, I have lost 145 lbs. I never thought that was even possible. I sure am glad I was wrong about it, I love my band and plan on rocking it for a really long healthy time.
Graduation
Feb 02, 2008
Well on Thursday January 24th I graduated from the NewU program. It has been a fantastic journey and I am so thankful for it. I am down to 129 lbs and a size 5. I never would have been able to do it alone so I am deeply touched by the people at the NewU in Idaho Falls, Idaho. I never thought I would ever say these things but I actually had to ask if I dont stop losing weight if I can have some taken out of the band. Wow! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!

Well last Saturday I had two Christmas parties to go to. My mom had bought some new pants and I wanted to see how close they were to fitting me so I tried them on. I stood there and almost crapped, they fit. This would not be a huge thing but they were a size, oh get ready for this one, a size 5. I am so amazed at what I have done with the band. I never thought this was possible. Life is getting to be so much more fun day by day! Dreams are possible!

Well I so can not believe all that has happend in the past year. I am so excited with my results, I never dreamed in a million years I would lose as much as I have. I never had a goal until I got down far enough then decided anything was possible. I am now 15 lbs from that goal. I have had a total loss of 115 since surgery and 125 since the beginning. I feel good and so blessed. Thank you thank you thank you is what I think about my band.

Well last Wen was my year since surgery and I went to the doctor on Thursday. I can not tell you how much my life has changed in the past year. While at the doctors I did find out that in the particular program I went through, The New U program, I am the biggest loser so far. This is a title that I am tickled to have. I have lost 100 lbs since the day of surgery and a little over that since the beginning of everthing. My body feels so good, I have an insane amount of energy. I am happy and would do the surgery again in a heart beat. I hope everyone who reads my profile has the happiness and results that I have had. Good luck to each and every one of you and God Bless!!!

Well last Friday I went shopping and purchased a new pair of pants. I did not think they would fit but I wanted to get them anyways sort of as inspiration. When I got home I put them on and oh my gosh they fit. I had to call everyone I knew and I stood there almost in tears for a while until it sunk in. The jeans I am speaking about are a size 8. Yes !!!! I have not been in a single digit size since before I had my oldest son, whom will be 20 in December. So this was a huge moment and a turning point. For the down side I have to go in for another CT Scan on Wen. They are afraid that nasty infection is coming back but not sure so we will find out then. Enjoy life and just remember to smile. Dont just sit and watch life go by, get up and grab hold and ride it to the end!
Happy Days are here again

Went to the doctor last week and down another 13.5 lbs. I was thrilled when they said I was one of the success stories. Other than that life is just going great. Hope you all have great success with your choices as I am having with mine.
Another Doctors visit another smile

Well on June 25th I went to the doctor again. First time since I got sick a couple of months back. I am down to 176lbs. You know I was totally amazed when I went below 200 for the first time but each day the scale goes down and it is just an awesome feeling each and every time. I wear shirts that are so cute now and I dont have to cover everything up or hide it. I feel like a new person with so much energy and just a great outlook on life. I am ready for the future, bring it on!!!
