Hell Yes!!!!! I made it!!!!  I've lost 150.9 lbs the day BEFORE my 1 year anniversary of surgery!!!!  YEAH ME!!!!  I'll post my nice "year in review" tomorrow but I just couldn't help it 

This pic was taken a few weeks ago and I can't believe how much thinner I actually look!!!!  I used to run & hide when the cameras came out or I would always be the one taking the pics so I wouldn't have to be in them.  My friend took this after we went to a bar for a bit and came back to her house....just compare it to my before pics!!!!

Well today wasn't officially 'weigh day' but I just couldn't help myself...I've been very good all week long and wanted to see my progess thus far.....

DRUM ROLL PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Enough SAID!!!!!! Down from 425.5 back in November : )  This band is freakin' AWESOME!!!!!!!!

To all those researching or struggling with your band.....EXERCISE EXERCISE EXERCISE!!!!!  Make time for youself and DO IT!!!!!!  It pays off in more ways than one.

Ok....I am a VERY VERY VERY bad blogger.  I really don't ever have much to say.  I DO keep my weight chart updated every Friday, do I get points for that???? lol Anyway.....I just got to thinking today about my goal weight, etc.  When I first started (at 425.5 lbs) my original goal was ANYTHING between 200-225.  I figured that is what I weighed in 6th grade and since I'm 5'9 I look healthy at that weight.  But as I've lost, I'm starting to think a little lower.  I'm thinking my ABSOLUTE minimum goal would be 175.  I haven't weighed under 200 lbs since I was 12 years old!!!!!  So....if 175 is my new "goal" then I am officially 1/2 way there!!!!  I've lost 125 lbs of the 250 lb loss I need to get there and I've done it in just over 8 months!!!!! I know the next 125 won't come off as fast, but dammit I'm SOOOOOOOOO much closer than I EVER was : ) : ) : )   I'm hoping this Friday (weigh day) will officially put me under 300 lbs and back in the 200's.....haven't been there since I was 17 years old!!!!  I still can't wrap my mind around it.  I've always been the biggest person EVERYWHERE....at home, in public, with my friends, with my family...and having gone on vacation and going to the gym and my surgeon's center it really is nice not to be the biggest anymore.  (SELFISH, I know)  I've even started comparing myself to other people.  I happened to find out what my younger brother weighed and realized I only have about 50 lbs to lose before we will weigh the same....or just other people around me in general.....it really amazes me.  Now.....how do I plan to lose the next 125 lbs????? EXERCISE EXERCISE EXERCISE!!!! I still go to the gym 6-7 days a week whether I want to or not : )  I probably need to make some better food choices, but I find that depriving myself of what I really want only ends up in me eating it and everything else...but if I just have a little bit of everything I want then I can keep it under control.  I also promise to myself to get my water in!!!!! i really have a hard time with this when I'm working.  I can drink tons before work, but once I sit down at my desk it seems I just forget and barely get 8 more ounces in during those 8 hours.  

Well...that's enough for now.  I will TRY and write more.....don't know if I'll be succesfull or not...we shall see.
