Hello!!!

Sorry I have been gone so long! It has bee a crazy few months!

For those who don't know, I had Gastric banding done 10/12/10 with the Lap Band. I started at 327 POUNDS! I have lost 70 POUNDS!!!!

This has improved my entire life!!

I can play with my 2 and 5 year old!

I can wear my wedding rings (been off 5 years)!

I can give myself a pedicure!

I can dance!

I have energy!

I can live without back pain!

I can shop anywhere!

I have more friends!

I have a life!

I have gone from a 28 to a 18!!

I have gone from a 5x to a 2x!!!

I was motivated to change my life!

I took a leap and I am now for the first time after 16 years in the hotel industry a GENERAL MANAGER!!!

Life is so good!

Here are some pics! I went to my alumni yearly get together 70 POUNDS lighter! Let's just say I stole the show!!
